A Man Apart (2003)
Director: F Gary Gray
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Thirty years on, variations on The French Connection theme just keep coming. Diesel is the soft-spoken DEA agent who puts away a Colombian kingpin only to see things get worse than ever as the elusive 'El Diablo' takes over operations. The Big Heat comes down when Diesel's wife is murdered. This is disappointingly routine stuff from Gray, but the movie does boast one disaster area of a shoot-out and a nifty denouement.Author: TCh
