| Sean Vetter and Demetrius Hicks are members of the DEA who are fighting an ongoing drug war on the California/Mexico border, they are most successful at it because of their edge of growing up on the street and being thugs converted to cops. The DEA busts one of the major players by the name of "Memo" Lucero and imprison him in the United States but then a major player named Diablo then takes over the business and now he is now the major player targeted by Vetter and his team. But when Vetter's wife is killed in a botched hit organized by Diablo, he seeks revenge against those responsible and in the process has to seek help from the imprisoned Lucero in order to catch Diablo. But in the process, Vetter and Hicks have to fight their way up the chain to get to Diablo but it's easier said than done when all Vetter can focus on is revenge... |

This movie is the making of Vin Diesel as a serious action star
STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal
Instead*Avoid At All Costs
The action genre,at the moment,is lacking in a lot of departments.Decent
scripts,good dialogue,and youngblood.With supremos Stallone and
Schwarzenegger now in their 50s and the likes of Van Damme and Lundgren in
their early 40s,a new,younger tall,muscle bound star was needed to fill the
void and fill in the woodwork.Diesel is personified with these
characteristics,with the appropriate wooden drawl to go with it (though as
this film proves,the man is a fine actor too),and hence stood out as the
perfect individual to fulfil this task.
Unfortunately,his early scripts were a hodgepodge of bland,empty dross such
as xXx and Pitch Black.This left the discerning action movie goer worried,in
this day and age,he might never wow as much as he might have had he been
around in say,the early 90s or late 80s.
But with A Man Apart,he blissfully casts aside such worries,for this is a
taut,fully engaging actioner,with a thumping good soundtrack.A riveting
opening sequence is a great teaser for what's to come.F Gary Gray,director
of the Kevin Spacey/Samuel L Jackson thriller The Negotiator,rolls
proceedings along nicely,with some neat,visually impressive action sequences
to go with the surprisingly intricate plot.He also makes the wise decision
to give his leading man Diesel some engaging dialogue to work with as well
as giving him loads of opportunites to flex his muscles and act
tough.Sure,there are a few cliches and the plot does become a little far
fetched towards the end,but all in all,this is probably the film of Diesel's
I've most enjoyed and I'm sure will finally cement him in the premier league
of A list Hollywood action stars.***
