Although this slick Seagal action pic won't convert die-hard detractors, aficionados will note that he's both gained weight and lightened up.

Reviews for The Glimmer Man
Top CriticSadly, the surprisingly podgy Seagal spends far too much time contemplating and not enough time kicking Russian butt.

Top CriticKeenen Ivory Wayans is so much more interesting, lively, and fun than Seagal you wish that he were the star of the film.

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.

Most 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 CriticThere's no shortage of action.

Top CriticA 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
All-in-all, what we have here is 'classic' Seagal. And that means, for anyone who isn't an admitted fan, an uninspired outing.
01/01/00
Subtract the gruesomeness, the language and some nekkid stuff, and the film is indistinguishable from an episode of a TV cop show.
01/01/00
Yet another action-thriller that just isn't very thrilling.
