| SYNOPSIS
|
 Sean
Vetter (Vin Diesel) and his partner Demetrius Hicks (Larenz Tate)
came up on the mean streets of Los Angeles but now work together as
DEA agents, fighting a seven-year war to stem the virulent drug pipeline
along the US/Mexico border. Dubbed "the gunslingers" for
their tough street tactics, their perseverance pays off when they
take down notorious Baja Cartel kingpin Memo Lucero Geno Silva).
With
Lucero locked away in a maximum security prison, Vetter is finally
able to go home to his wife, Stacy (Jacqueline Obradors), a sanctuary
from the harsh realities of his job.
But
in the wake of Lucero’s arrest, a mysterious figure, known
only as Diablo, emerges to violently claim the Baja Cartel. And
when Vetter and Hicks set their sights on identifying and stopping
this dangerous and elusive new player, Diablo makes the fight personal
– robbing Vetter of the one person who gives his life meaning
– Stacy.
 With
nothing to lose, Vetter pulls out every hidden resource at his disposal
to bring Diablo down – including an unlikely alliance with
the jailed Cartel boss Lucero. He will stop at nothing to avenge
his wife’s murder, edging dangerously close to the line between
justice and lawlessness, even if it sets him at odds with the police
unit to which he has dedicated his life.
Internationally-acclaimed
superstar Vin Diesel (xXx, The Fast and the Furious, Pitch Black)
takes on a compelling role as DEA agent Sean Vetter, who loses everything
in his fight to take down a vicious new drug lord, in New Line Cinema’s
A Man Apart, which also stars rising young actor Larenz Tate (Biker
Boyz, love jones, Menace II Society), Timothy Olyphant (Gone in
60 Seconds, Go), Jacqueline Obradors (TV’s "NYPD Blue,"
Six Days, Seven Nights), Geno Silva (Scarface, Amistad), Juan Fernandez
(Salvador) and Steve Eastin (Con Air). |
 REVIEW

The
Iraqi War was tough, and especially at the box office during April
of 2003. Even Vin Diesel, who did so well in XXX
and Fast and Furious, could not pull a good box
office when this film opened. Oh well!
The
movie does a good job of describing the drug problem in the USA
and the difficulty in turning off the pipeline between the US
and Latin America.
The
motivation for DEA agent Sean Vetter (Diesel) to go after the
bad drug lords, is not for humanitarian or justice reasons. Rather,
it is for reasons of revenge for the death of his beloved wife.
That is, for relationship reasons.
Relationship
is the most powerful motivator. From the early bonding between
mother and baby, to marriage and parenthood, to the despair over
death and broken relationship, nothing is as compelling as our
heart felt relationships with others. Nothing!
Absent
in the film is any suggestion of the relationship between the
human and the divine. But no matter, a personal relationship with
God remains the cornerstone of all relationships.
Although
the film has a clever twist at the end, but I found it hard to
connect with the main characters, as they pushed the line too
many times for my taste. However, relationships can drive us to
do unreasonable actions. And, perhaps that the point.
If
nothing else, perhaps the film can cause us to examine our actions
in terms of our relationships. And that is a good and necessary
activity, especially when it comes to our relationship with God.
