Vin Diesel stars as a DEA agent hell-bent on vengeance after the head of a drug cartel murders his wife. With nothing left to lose, agent Sean Vetter, already notorious for his violent tactics, uses every means -- even an alliance with the former cartel boss he jailed -- as he edges dangerously close to the line between justice and lawlessness in his brutal quest for vengeance against a mysterious killer known only as El Diablo. Now, stalking the Tijuana nights accompanied by the glint off the barrel of his rifle, Vetter hunts -- A Man Apart. Also starring Larenz Tate and Timothy.

Critics Consensus: Action and drama elements don't mix well in this clichéd actioner.

Reviews

London Evening Standard

Alexander Walker

Films like A Man Apart pretend to deal with social issues. That is their cover story. But in fact, they themselves are the Hollywood equivalent of the coke trade. They corrupt the entertainment industry.

If I hadn't seen Traffic, this would still stink, but I wouldn't know how badly. Diesel runs on fumes in this one.

Pretentious, incompetent, dumb explosion movie.

You know what you're getting: it's a Vin Vin situation.

The script for this action vehicle is like something you'd find under the cushions of Steven Seagal's couch, but Diesel, to his credit, digs into his role as if it were Hamlet.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie is very, very violent, with a lot of firepower and many characters killed, including a woman and child. Policemen violate the civil rights of suspects, including beating them. Characters drink, smoke, and deal in drugs. They use very strong language, and a child's use of a swear word is supposed to be humorous. When a character tries to insult Sean by suggesting he is gay for turning down a lap dance, Sean gets infuriated. Black and white characters are deeply loyal to each other. Most of the drug dealers and criminals are black or Latino.
