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.

Pretentious, incompetent, dumb explosion movie.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 21, 2010

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.

Go see The French Connection instead.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2006

This is disappointingly routine stuff from Gray, but the movie does boast one disaster area of a shoot-out and a nifty denouement.

The film would be totally unwatchable without the very real charisma of Diesel.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 22, 2003

The plot is nonsensical; the action is laughable.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 20, 2003

Once thoughts of revenge fill the head of Diesel's Sean Vetter, the direction of the story unfortunately goes south.

Full Review | Apr 15, 2003

Falls just shy of both Diesel and Gray's mark, which, presumably, was to afford a certain shade of respect to Diesel's usual knuckle-dragging theatre of the fist.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 7, 2003

[I]t's well made, but we've seen all of this, so many times before.

Full Review | Apr 7, 2003

It's all fast and furious up to its draggy finale, and yes, it could spark a sequel. Prepare yourself for coming dread in 18 months: A Man Together.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2003

Although more fun than the preachy Training Day, A Man Apart never quite reaches the seedy depths of Narc.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 4, 2003

This movie is so testosterone-laden that one character is seen carrying a gun and a beer in the same hand.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2003

It's hard to approach a movie like this expecting Citizen Kane ... But I did expect a good Vin Diesel movie, a showcase for this magnetic actor's personality. That's where A Man Apart falls short.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2003

With more movies like A Man Apart, it'll be kaput to Diesel's acting future.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 4, 2003

Diesel doesn't have the chops, or the charisma, to overcome the pic's formula conceits.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 4, 2003

If you take the picture at face value, it delivers the goods.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 4, 2003

The movie has more than its share of action scenes, but they're grafted onto a gritty crime drama that has no room for outsized heroics.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Apr 4, 2003

In a sense, A Man Apart is aptly titled for Diesel. Nobody has chemistry with him. Then again, you try acting with a tree.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2003

It really should be arrested for impersonating an interesting movie.
