The Glimmer Man Details

Above Average Seagal

This is most definitely one of Steven Seagal's better movies, we all know he's not the best actor in fact he is a very poor wooden actor and sometimes he seems very uncomptable when he's not doing the action scenes but this movie plays to his strengths and even shows a less serious and very funny Seagal while at the same time giving him a chance to do some kick ass action which he of course does very well. The chemistry between Seagal and Wayans is genuine and they play off each other very well both comically and dramatically.

I would recommend this even if you not Steven Seagal's biggest fan but enjoyed Under Siege give this one a try certainly his best of the rest..

[Highly rated reviewer]

Purple star, silver cluster

I really can not knock this movie too much; it’s another Segal movie in every aspect, CIA, Special Forces, purple star, silver cluster and all that you might expect of his movies. Segal plays a cop with a secret CIA past as he attempts to uncover a sinister conspiracy that links back to top people in the government and CIA. He teams up with a very unlucky police officer who ends up having the worst week of his life as Segal smashes his way to the truth. This is Lethal Weapon style Segal action and in our opinion one of the better movies we have seen from Segals filmography. It does not live up to the under siege movies but it is a not half bad action movie that kept us both entertained throughout, Segal was even doing some of his stunts himself for this movie which he clearly had not been doing in others we had rented. Scrapes into 4 Stars for me.
