***SPOILERS INCLUDED***
I expected to be totally disgusted with this movie. Ever since Pitch Black, Vin Diesel has really disappointed, and proved to me that he was trying to be the next Sly Stallone or Arnold, someone who would just get a lot of money for showing his body without really acting. His acting in this was okay, a little better that I expected, and the movie wasn't bad. The ending needs a lot of work though. It had me intrigued throughout, although I personally thought that Diesel and Co was pretty stupid for partying out in the open after taking down a MAJOR drug cartel. Why didn't they go underground for a while to make sure things blow over? Anyway, Diesel was tolerable, he did the role justice, because he actually had to show emotion in this. Larenz Tate shows up after a lengthy absence, he doesn't do much for me, but he did what he could. The ending was a real let-down, but A Man Apart is tolerable. Not a terrible film.
** out of **** stars
