De film volgt de verrichtingen van de anti-drugsdivisie van de Amerikaanse douane in het zuiden van Californië. Beambten Sean Vetter en Demetrius Hicks worden 'The Gunslingers' genoemd vanwege hun stoere uitstraling die ze verkregen met het opgroeien in de straten van de grote stad. Ze komen in conflict met de drugsbaron Memo Lucero. Wanneer deze gearresteerd wordt, vult Diablo het machtsvacuüm in. Vetter en Hicks moeten hun straatervaring gebruiken om te infiltreren in zijn organisatie. (RCV Film Distribution)

Not as big a fuss as I had feared, but still too exhausted and excruciatingly clunky when it comes to explanatory passages. The only reason for a possible viewing remains the obvious and rough Vin Diesel, always playing the same face, and it always works. His charisma and skill in dealing out punches, bullets, and one-liners made me decide not to trash the movie in the super awkward scene of a home celebration.

I could get over the fact that the screenplay for A Man Apart was plagiarised from every possible Seagal movie. What I can’t get over, however, is how slow and lifeless the film is, and how it cries out for deeper development of Vin Diesel’s character.

If Seagal had been at least a little in form, then he certainly would have acted in this. A mediocre crime movie about a vengeful cop, perfect for the TV screen. A little invention in the clichéd screenplay and shorter running time would have benefited this movie at least a little. The actors are bland, the directing too, the screenplay is horrific, but you will suffer no harm watching it and it isn’t at all ridiculous, just terribly mediocre...

The best part of the whole movie is probably the one-minute sequence in the opening credits, it looked interesting and promised a suspenseful crime drama. The final effect, however, is rather weak. The plot is chaotic, with one lapse in logic after another, and the whole thing feels like a stew of multiple genres.
