All-in-all, what we have here is 'classic' Seagal. And that means, for anyone who isn't an admitted fan, an uninspired outing.

Reviews for The Glimmer Man
Top CriticYour average five-year-old could have constructed a plot with fewer holes in it.

Keenen Ivory Wayans is so much more interesting, lively, and fun than Seagal you wish that he were the star of the film.
09/10/05
Sadly, the surprisingly podgy Seagal spends far too much time contemplating and not enough time kicking Russian butt.
01/01/00
The plot of The Glimmer Man involves not only the Family Man but Our Evil Secret Government, the Russian Mafia and Rich Powerful Politicians -- the three stooges of action cinema in the '90s.

Top CriticMost of the action scenes occur in the dark and are so heavily edited, it's hard to know whose limbs and faces are being splintered by Cole.

Top Critic
Subtract the gruesomeness, the language and some nekkid stuff, and the film is indistinguishable from an episode of a TV cop show.

Top CriticYet another action-thriller that just isn't very thrilling.
01/01/00
A truly disgraceful outing that amounts to little more than an unbelievable Steven Seagal self-love fest.
01/01/00
A lean and mean exploitation thriller, The Glimmer Man might not be original or memorable, but the goods are delivered with reasonable flair and efficiency.
01/01/00
Although this slick Seagal action pic won't convert die-hard detractors, aficionados will note that he's both gained weight and lightened up.
06/24/06
There's no shortage of action.
