I still remember seeing the Cool poster of "A Man Apart" at bus stops way back in early 2000's when Vin Diesel was getting bigger & becoming the next big Action star, the poster promised a troubled tough Cop who is gonna turn vigilante & take out cartels!!! The movie is excellent old school 90's style Action like the type of violent Action Thriller that Schwarzenegger or Stallone would've made back then & Vin Diesel lives up to the Action Hero hype.
I brought "A Man Apart" on video as soon as it was released & i loved it, the tone & flow of the story is very old school 90's & i grew up on all those Action films so i felt as sense of comfort & Nostalgia while watching this excellent film.
Basic Action Thriller plot is Vin Diesel plays a tough as hell undercover DEA Agent named Sean Vetter who turns vigilante when his wife is murdered & vows to take down a crime lord known as Diablo, that's the simple old school action plot & Vin Diesel gives a tough emotional & angry performance & i still think it's his best piece of dramatic acting he's done!!!
Diesel is helped by friend & partner Hicks played by underrated but great actor Larenz Tate who is such a good intense actor who you will remember from "Menace 2 Society" so there's good solid performances here by these two good actors.
The Action is brutal violent & gritty & is not just a Cop type Thriller but also abit of a Hood drama too as well as an old school Action film, this is a revenge film with some great Action scenes.
"A Man Apart" is a favourite of Vin Diesel's filmography, nothing beats him as Riddick in the Classic PITCH BLACK, i also love the underrated Mob Drama Knockaround Guys & the Excellent sci-fi Cult Classic Pitch Black, as these were the first Diesel films i ever saw as he first came out & was rising to become the Action star he is now!!!
I checked out his breakout hit film Triple X or XXX & it was a good solid Action Thriller but got nothing on his A Man Apart, & i didn't like his Fast & Furious franchise, but all in all Vin Diesel is a great Action Star.
A Man Apart is a solid tough gritty Action Thriller with plenty of shootouts & fights & a great troubled & intense performance by Vin Diesel himself.
