A Man Apart
(Reviewed March 12, 2003)
-
Wow, does this movie ever suck. Vin Diesel, leader of a badass bunch of ex-gangbangers turned DEA agents (are we laughing yet?), is out for vengeance against an up-and-coming Mexican drug lord
who aims to fill the shoes of one who was captured by Diesel. Mayhem ensues.
"A Man Apart" is so cheesy looking and dumb, it's like one of those cheap, direct-to-video shoot-'em-ups that surface on fourth-rate TV stations that run things like "Adrenaline Theater"
during prime time. It's just plain bad, that's what it is.
Also, and God forbid I should get political here, I am sick to death of movies about the Noble Struggle of cops busting people for drugs, which always seems more like an utterly pointless
"make work" assignment than like actual crimefighting. Putting people in jail because they manufacture, sell, or put in their bodies things that are not government-sanctioned is flabbergastingly stupid,
not to mention a colossal waste of money and manpower. Drug prohibition today is as futile as alcohol prohibition was nearly a century ago, and a hell of a lot more expensive.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: VOTE LIBERTARIAN, PEOPLE!
