A Man Apart DVD

Advantages: Great plot. Great acting. Full on entertainment.
Disadvantages: Some scenes are very dark. Poor extras.

...to start this opinion on A Man Apart by saying how and why I bought it. I had seen the advert for this movie in various magazines and on billboard posters, but knew nothing about it. Strangely none of the magazines had anything about it! Could this be a ‘turkey’ of a film? (As it’s nearly Christmas thought I would use that!!) I don’t normally talk about the cover, but this does give an insight into the film and is actually one of the factors that ...
...shows Vin Diesel walking down a street, shot gun in one hand and his badge (cop) in the other. The background is a yellow/sunrise sort of colour, with faint images of two sinister looking men, a police car, and another car in flames. Really this says it all! Cop film – guns – shooting – action – bad guys – cars on fire – and probably a women thrown in there somewhere for ‘eye candy’. (Oh no, I’ve slipped into using Americanisms!)

Advantages: Guns, Drugs, Vendettas
Disadvantages: Some poor acting

...to its release there was a big marketing campaign to promote the release of this film. The trailer was being shown in cinemas a long time before its release and by the time the film was due out I had decided that I must see this film. Going from the trailers the film looked to have a good storyline and good action scenes.

Advantages: some great scenes
Disadvantages: abit too long

...the plot is basically about a DEA agent who goes after one of the top drug lords in Columbia. The main character is played by Vin Diesel out of the xxx films, and to be honest leave vin's accent and he is the best actor for this film. The action scenes are brilliant and there are lots of them aswell, there is some great gun fights especially when Diesel meets up with some of his old mates who are gangbangers to hunt down the noterious drug lord, ...
...disapointed at all it is a very good film. One thing that I didn't like about it was that it was abit too long for my liking. Vin Diesel is at his best in this film, he does alot of action films and he is normally good in them all, but this one sticks out in my mind out of the lot of them. It is definetly worth a visit down to your local video shop to eithier rent or buy this dvd, to be honest your better off buying a copy because you are gurantied ... Read review
