Summary: ABSOLUTLY WONDERFULL
Review: A DEFINITE MOVIE TO SEE IF YOUR A VIN FAN. A GREAT CHANGE OF PACE FROM FAST AND THE FURIOUS AND XXX. DEALS WITH DRAMA AND NOT JUST STRAIGHT ACTION WITH GOOD DIALOUGE. I DIDNT EVEN HAVE TO GO SEE IT IN THE THEATERS, I JUST WAITED UNTILL IT CAME OUT AND BOUGHT THE DVD, AND WAS VERY PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE. I WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT IN SOME PART OF THE MOVIE THOUGH HE SHAVED THE FACIAL PUBES, IT MAKES HIM LOOK OLDER AND WELL HE'LL ALWAYS BE HOT BUT I LIKE HIM BETTER CLEAN CUT. A GOOD MOVIE TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION IF YOUR A VIN DIESEL FAN ON ANY CALIBER.

Summary: Unintentional comedy
Review: A Man Apart is supposedly the story of a DEA agent played by Vin Diesel who becomes a one-man army against drug dealers after his wife is killed. Unfortunately, it is actually an unintentional comedy about a dangerously incompetent man bent on revenge and the people (innocent or otherwise) who are hurt by him in the process.There are numerous flaws in this movie, with just enough entertainment value to rate it a high one-star. Most glaringly to me was the loose way Diesel's character does little to protect his identity from criminals, showing up at press conferences and living in a nice beach house (how can he afford such a house...perhaps he's not as clean as depicted). It's little wonder his wife is killed. He abuses his power and blows operations, yet somehow we're supposed to feel he's wronged when he is suspended. For those who want action, there is a good deal of it, but most of it is in poorly lit situations, making the action hard to follow. The one daytime shootout is vaguely reminiscent of the far superior shootout in Heat; yet even this scene is uninteresting, as by this point, the little sympathy for the character is completely gone. Diesel is usually better than this. Unfortunately (a word I need to use repeatedly in this review), while he would never be expected to be the next Olivier, in this film, he seems interested in being the next Steven Seagal. He can do a lot better than this movie.

Summary: Give It a Chance
Review: A Man Apart is one of those movies that I originally based my opinion from every other critic other than myself. The one thing that inspired me to watch this flick was nothing more than my fiance's complete obsession with Mr. Diesel. I hate to admit I was wrong. Yes, as usual Diesels deliveries are not on the mark but overall I found the pace of this one to be very satisfying. I appreciated the near realistic shootouts (but movieland please learn to re-load movie weapons at appropriate times), the need of revenge (yes, I like the woman I'm to marry) and the slow yet not boring pace to get to the end. Diesel does his best when either speaking monotone or not at all, and yes he will convince you he's hurt, mad and [angry]. A Man Apart is not a bad movie. Again, Diesel lacks a completly convincing role, but the movie is a good time.

Summary: Serious
Review: A Man Apart is a story of revenge. Vin Diesel plays Sean Vetter, a DEA cop filled with anger over the murder of his wife. Before the murder, he was quite mellow. Afterwards, he takes up drinking and smoking. He grows a beard. He leaves his home untouched with the bloody murder scene intact. He is unable to function on the job without his emotions getting in the way. He beats to death a suspect who claims to be involved in his wife's murder. This started a gun fight in which 3 police were killed. Sean's error was covered up by his partner Demetrius. Sean had his badge taken away and was ordered to take leave and return in 6 months for a psych evaluation. He uses that time to find 'Diablo', the drug lord behind the murder of his wife. Following tips from the captured former drug lord, Memo, (who Sean and Demetrius, hunted for 7 years) Diablo is sought. With help from their friend Sexy, they follow the trail of money and cocaine from the small time drug dealer in the street to the palace of the drug lord, where Diablo is killed. Memo was behind it all. He escaped from prison to reclaim his position as the ruling drug lord in Mexico. Sean and Demetrius use their previous knowledge and skills to recapture him in Mexico. This movie is not as confusing as the critics made it out to be. The only problem is that in the beginning when the agents talk before storming Memo's club, Sean mentions entering the club unarmed. But, they go in and shoot up the place. This seems to be an obvious script error unless it meant that the agents didn't have enough fire power, or they were just joking. An extra 10 minutes could have been used to explore more of the villain's manipulation of American law enforcement. The deceit and callousness could have been better exposed. That would have fully justified the last confrontation and arrest when Sean says the same thing that was said to him when he asked Memo if he killed his wife. Vin Diesel's performance as Sean Vetter was deep, passionate and effective. There was a good range of emotion shown from happiness to deep anguish. I have no complaints about Larenz Tate's acting. His presence enhances the believability of story. I only wish this were a more entertaining movie. It was not a bad story. I wish there was something to break the seriousness; maybe a little more humour.

Summary: I Felt His Pain; Great Movie; Vin Diesel is a rising Star!
Review: When a movie can touch your heart and make you feel the range of emotions that this one did for me, it's worth my time to not only watch it, but own it for watching repeatedly. From the opening line in Vin Diesel's voice, "The Mexican cartel have 1,500 miles of border between them and the greatest drug consuming nation on earth, separated by a 15-foot high fence which starts at the Pacific Ocean and travels the distance of four states. They flood our streets, day after day, week after week, at an average of 20 tons a month... enough to provide a line of cocaine for every man, woman and child on this planet... worlds away from the men who run the whole @#$@% show." ~ until the end of the movie, I found myself hoping that it would work out the way it did, and that this could happen in real life. If the movie did nothing else but enlighten us "again" to this crisis, it served it's purpose. I felt very sorry for the loss of his wife, as well as the wife & son of the drug lord; it seems it's always the innocents who suffer when greed and power clash with decency & morality. Their (DEA) determination to end the supply and demand was noble, but you know it's short-lived. Another "Diablo" will surface, but for now, the movie was great justice-serving entertainment. Excellent acting, and thought-provoking potential!!

Summary: New Diesel Flick - A Man Apart
Review: This movie was not what I expected it to be. It's sold as an action film when it is actually a solid drama that happens to have guns in it. When I think action I think over the top thrills and intense stunts. I think adreniline, fast-paced suspense, and a certain momentum. I didn't find any of that in this film. But what I did find was a genuinely interesting story. Perhaps the concept has been done before - but that's the case with a lot of films these days. Looking past that: the movie does have substance. It delivers believable emotion and is worth sitting through at least once. I'd say the main draw is getting to see Vin Diesel stretch his wings a bit and hit us with something fresh. Sean Vetter is a little more unique than any of his previous characters.Perhaps not dramatically so - but we can see that Vin put forth an effort. I like the direction he's moving in - and you must admit - seeing him move in a different direction is reason enough to watch the movie. This one isn't about and edgy street racer like in The Fast And The Furious. Or an attitude-driven adreniline junkie as seen in XXX. This is a story about a man who loses his wife. A man who is driven nearly to the breaking point. A man who discovers what his friends are made of when he truly needs them the most.
