Plot: Buffed-up action star Vin Diesel plays a reckless DEA agent in A Man Apart, which aspires to merge big-budget action fare with a grittier, The French Connection-style procedural drama. W...( read more read more... )hen his wife is murdered by a mysterious drug lord called Diablo, Sean Vetter (Diesel) loses his moral bearings and risks the lives of his fellow agents in a quest for revenge. A Man Apart tries to give Diesel the opportunity to demonstrate a greater emotional range, but it's a mess; the supposedly tender scenes are generic and flat, while the action scenes are utterly incomprehensible. Much of the time it's unclear who's a cop and who's a thug, so when people get shot--and a lot of people get shot--it just becomes a bland wash of blood and bullets. --Bret Fetzer

    wow just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a pretty good movie 2 watch...i think that vin diesel is pretty good throughout this movie as the lead role..i think that the director of this Action & Adventure, Mystery & Suspense
    movie had done a really good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie its a really enjoyable movie 2 watch...i think that timothy olypant (who plays in the hit tv show deadwood n die hard 4:0 or live free or die hard)..is really good throughout this movie...i think that the gun shoot outs n the car chases are pretty good throughout this movie..

    A Man Apart was a terrible movie, but it still had a few good action scenes. There was way too much vulgarness that wasn't needed, it made the movie way too much longer than it needed to be.

    Vin Diesel has gone up on my scale of good acting performances. This is the best i've seen of him yet. The story is a bit predictable and its obvious who the Diablo guy is. However the action is solid and Vin's character is torn apart after his wife is murdered and he doesn't really know what he's doing except getting revenge!! I liked this film, shame i missed a bit when it started raining and my viewing was abruptly halted, stupid freeview!!

    Good idea for a movie, but it was a little drawn out and boring, and I think anyone could ahve predicted the end.

    I watched this again late last night ( I originally saw it at the drive- in in 2003) and I'm amazed at the range Vin Diesel has as an actor. Lots of action, good plot; I highly recommend it.
