Summary: Very Sad
Review: I am a huge Vin Deisel fan I own all of his movies, but this one will not be joining my collection. It is a movie that has the best parts in the middle of the movie and kinda drags after that. The plot is kinda incoherrent and jumpy. This is one to rent not buy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: In spite of a sloppy script.........
Review: Vin does a wonderful job acting. Even though he barely sheds a tear,he facial expressions alone convey the anguish he goes through after his wife's death.
Larenz Tate and the rest of the supporting cast do a great job also.
The real problem lies in the script;it was obviously written in haste and without any real clarity.Any actor who can work w/ such writing deserves plenty of credit.
But those of you who walked away completely disappointed,PLEASE dont judge Vin Diesel's acting skills by this movie alone!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: In spite of a sloppy script.........
Review: VIN did his VERY best and showed enough range to get across how he was feeling at crucial points in the movie(ex.when his wife was killed,etc.)
Larenz Tate and the rest of the supporting cast was also very good.
Its too bad this movie was obviuosly written in great haste and didnt pay attention to clarity.
For those who were totally disappointed ,please dont judge Vin Diesel's acting by this film alone!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Vin is AMAZING!!
Review: Being a huge Vin Diesel fan, I saw this movie the day it opened in theaters. One thing I have always loved is that he has never done a bad movie, and 'A Man Apart' further proves that. The plot of the movie was good, Vin's performance was amazing. Never a disappointment, he has a great road ahead of him!!

Summary: Awful... Wanted to walk out.
Review: The previews hinted at an average-plot action movie. It was wrong. Now, I don't mind Deisel as an actor. But this movie was so poorly written that I was rooting for the bad guy to kill him just so the movie would end. The dialogue is forced (at best) and just awful. How someone got paid to write this (and continues to get paid to write other things) I have no idea. The plot was thin. The characters were thinner. The only intriguing character was the older crime boss, and they didn't do much with him. This is the first movie I have wanted to walk out on in a long, long time. Of mainstream movies, they don't get much worse.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: amazing
Review: I thought this film was amazing. Vin has out done himself and so has his co-star Larenzo Tate. The movie takes you through every emotion and back again. It has you fighting the fight you know cann't be right. Plus it's a true drama not a muscle movie. I think a step in the right direction for our man. It shows Vin's diversity yet again. WOW!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great movie...with a nice, surprising twist!
Review: I recommend this movie...it was very enjoyable...even aside from all the drooling I did just looking at Vin on the screen...that man just rocks my world! haha...but really....Great story, nice + unexpected twist. Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Diesels best work yet..A must see
Review: I have seen the movie 4 x's and wasn't a fan untill now.
Seeing is believing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Man Apart is A+
Review: If you love Vin Diesel you will love this film. If you don't love Vin you will still like this film. This is Vin at his best.Honest hard working Sean Vetter loses his wife to a drug dealer and goes on a mission to avenge her death. It's wonderful to see such a tough guy show such emotion and love for his wife. Don't miss this film If your not yet a Diesel fan you will be after this flick!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Yet another weak action flick
Review: I went into this one thinking it was gonna be good. What was I thinking?! The previews made the movie out to be an interesting action/drama, and it looked as though Vin Diesal was going to show some range in his acting. Well, I went to it, and I was wrong! It's just another cliche riddled action flick, with too many shoot em up scenes and abosolutly NO character development whatsoever. I have to admit, Vin Diesal did try in this one. There are scenes in this movie where he is really believable. It's just the old revenge plot that we have seen over and over again, in dozens and dozens of cop movies. Every action movie that is released these days lacks any originality whatsoever.

Diesal basically plays a man who is trying to find his wife's killer and bring him down. He has to turn in his badge after he goes nuts on the wrong guy, and he takes matters into his own hands. Thats it. I lost interest in it about half way through.

SKIP IT, or wait for the video atleast.
