TC Candler's Review
C-
Apart from the plot...
Vin
Diesel stars in a poorly written action film
that seems to be a direct rip off of Steven
Seagal's work in the late 1980's. Diesel plays a
drug enforcement cop whose wife is slain by the
cartel leaders he is trying to bring down. He
goes on a vengeance consumed tirade, which
inevitably costs him his badge in the clichéd
'police chief' scene, and fights to find his way
to the top of the cartel to exact some measure
of justice. 'A Man Apart' is a weak and
unoriginal effort.
