Vin Diesel as DEA Agent Sean Vetter in a Man Apart
Vin Diesel has been known to defy the laws of gravity, whether he’s playing a daredevil street racer, an extreme sports superspy, or a badass fugitive in space. However, this was not always the case for the once-promising actor who stood out as a significant presence in critically acclaimed dramas such as Saving Private Ryan and Boiler Room.
Vin Diesel Delivers an Emotionally-Charged Performance in ‘A Man Apart' Taking cues from the likes of Lethal Weapon and Scarface, Diesel, alongside Larenz Tate, play Sean Vetter and Demetrius Hicks, ex-Los Angeles gang members who turned their lives around, becoming drug enforcement agents.
While Diesel’s Vetter is written like a clone of The Punisher, his natural charisma elevates the oversimplified screenplay. One scene has Vetter intimidating a low-level cocaine dealer with a revolver carrying a single bullet. It’s a scene done many times to the point where it was parodied in the film adaptation of Starsky and Hutch. What makes Diesel’s take on the scene different is how the old gangster life of the character cracks through his otherwise authoritative exterior.
Posts 19 ‘A Man Apart’ Fails to Have a Compelling Villain Close The fatal flaw in A Man Apart’s premise is how it attempts to depict Vetter and Lucero as two sides of the same coin. Some of the film’s biggest highlights involve scenes with Vetter confronting the aging drug lord in a penitentiary to admit to the attempted hit. Both characters’ family lives are well established in the initial scenes of Vetter’s home celebration and Lucero’s concern for his wife and son’s safety while incarcerated.
