A Man Apart is a prime example of how a studio can mess up a film. Early reports of the film had it a bit heavy on the drama and not so much on the action. F. Gary Gray did a good direction job and the acting by Vin Diesel and Larenz Tate is good as usual but the film is full of bad editing and the pacing is off. Worth a look though if you're a hard core Diesel fan.
