Movie Reviews of Man Apart [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Canadian Blu-Ray has incorrect aspect ratio...
Summary: 2 Stars

The Canadian blu-ray version of this film is presented open matte to fill a 16:9 television screen instead of the proper 2:35 to 1 scope ratio of the theatrical prints. This means you get more information at the top and bottom of the screen than originally intended. Your best bet is to seek out the Dutch all-region blu-ray that presents the film in the correct theatrical scope format.
The film itself is a pretty standard cop flick, somewhat better than a cruddy cable-TV cop show, but not by much. Diesel should have searched longer for a better script, particularly if was going to have a mundane director like F. Gary Gray at the helm. The cop revenge bit has been done to death, and this one is weaker than usual. It's not up to what any number of other action stars have produced in the past.

Summary of Man Apart [Blu-ray]

Import Blu-Ray/Region A pressing. Business becomes personal for Vin Diesel in A Man Apart. Diesel is compelling as Sean Vetter, a DEA agent out for revenge after his wife is murdered in a botched hit attempt. Vetter and partner Hicks track the elusive new druglord, El Diablo, with the help of the jailed kingpin!

Buffed-up action star Vin Diesel plays a reckless DEA agent in A Man Apart, which aspires to merge big-budget action fare with a grittier, The French Connection-style procedural drama. When his wife is murdered by a mysterious drug lord called Diablo, Sean Vetter (Diesel) loses his moral bearings and risks the lives of his fellow agents in a quest for revenge. A Man Apart tries to give Diesel the opportunity to demonstrate a greater emotional range, but it's a mess; the supposedly tender scenes are generic and flat, while the action scenes are utterly incomprehensible. Much of the time it's unclear who's a cop and who's a thug, so when people get shot--and a lot of people get shot--it just becomes a bland wash of blood and bullets. --Bret Fetzer
