Here, he plays Sean Vetter, a narcotics cop specializing in undercover work.His professional attitude toward his job changes the night a new cartel, headed by a shady figure called "Diablo," sends murderers to his house. They only succeed in wounding him, but they kill his beloved wife (Jacqueline Obradors). Thereafter, Sean becomes a man motivated by grief and revenge, but Diesel doesn't play those emotions in every scene.(This may be because he can't summon up those emotions at all. We'll have to see more work from him to really find out, but while he puts forth the necessary effort during his big emotional moments here, they don't come off as they should.) Instead, he plays Sean as a guy who keeps it together while he's on the trail of Diablo and his cartel, but is liable to unravel when he gets close to his prey. The choice demonstrates some cleverness on Diesel's part, and it generally keeps the pathos from overwhelming the action. Mini Poll
