Critics Consensus

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

Besides Vin Diesel channeling his embodiment to tonally likens Sylvester Stallone during this vigilante crime drama, the action pedestrians minimize any worthwhile engagement insignificantly offered whilst eventually indecisive. (C+)

While Vin Diesel is a perfect fit for the lead role, and his performance in this film stands out compared to his recent works, the movie suffers from erratic pacing and a severely fragmented narrative, making it challenging to deliver many surprises to the audience.

Whatever the critics say, the truth is the exact opposite. This is, in my opinion, Vin Diesels best role. It's a classic revenge story centered around a dea agent, and the drug trade. Two thumbs up!

A generic Vin Diesel revenge cop action movie.

The movie reminds me of simpler times when you could just craft a well executed simple action story. The soundtrack is awful and the intro is the worst example of early 2000's techno style but Vin Diesel does a good job playing the part of the stereotypical out-for-revenge action hero. The ending is a little anti-climatic but other than that it is a good film and had a good time watching it.

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.

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.

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