A Man Apart Reviews |
So, "A Man Apart" is hypocritical and stupid - well, it's an action film. What's unforgivable is it's dull, crawling along at a pace which leaves the audience to snooze, or twiddle thumbs and ponder what the F in director F Gary Gray stands for. We have some ideas. [read review] 
--Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
"A Man Apart" is just another typical Vin Diesel action movie. It is being marketed as somewhat of an elegant feature where Diesel shines in a breakthrough dramatic role, but here he is just a more serious version of "XXX's" Xander Cage. [read review] 4/10
--Scott Spicciati (Movie-Vault.com)
Diesel's got screen presence to spare, and his performance here is just as involving as anything he's done before. But the real surprise is Timothy Olyphant as Jack Slayton, a sleazy and flashy Beverly Hills drug trafficker. [read review]
--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
We get to watch Vin Diesel suffer in the title role of "A Man Apart," and I'm not just referring to his gunshot wounds, his fits of anger or his attempts to wrap his mouth around the dialogue without spitting marbles. [read review]
--Ron Weiskind (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
The evocative title sounds like something out of either Graham Greene or a paper on dismemberment, but it doesn't have much to do with the movie. Maybe the idea is that Diesel is unique. He is, but not here. [read review]
--Mick LaSalle (San Francisco Chronicle)
Has a certain amount of style, but not enough to make up for its weak story, sometimes-languid pace, and Vin Diesel’s inability to deliver a line of more than four words. [read review] 61/100
--Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
Ultimately, however, while A Man Apart is effectively paced and nicely choreographed, the fundamental letdown of the ending results in a mild sense of dissatisfaction. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
The screenplay tries to paper over too many story elements that needed a lot more thought. This movie has been filmed and released, but it has not been finished. [read review] 
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
Someone smart -- probably an uncredited, badly paid scriptwriter -- realized that there's nothing to slake an insufferable action star's narcissism like humor. [read review]
--Desson Howe (Washington Post)
A Man Apart isn't a terrible movie but it's far from anything spectacular. I'd wait for video but I still say Timothy Olyphant rocks! [read review] 
--Chad Law (MovieWeb)
Director F. Gary Gray keeps the momentum going, but the film would be totally unwatchable without the very real charisma of Diesel. [read review] 
--Jami Bernard (New York Daily News)
Annoying, laughable, badly thought-out film that probably won’t help Mr. Vin in his bid to become Box Office Star Of The Universe… [read review]
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
Yes, Vin Diesel still rocks. But you wouldn't know it from this dreary, predictable sub-"Traffic" action flick. [read review]
--Jeff Stark (Salon)
Painfully bad showcase for Diesel's distinctly limited talents. [read review] 2/10
--Gary Panton (Movie Gazette)
