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

 2/5 |
Sadly, the surprisingly podgy Seagal spends far too much time contemplating and not enough time kicking Russian butt. Full Review |

Keenen Ivory Wayans is so much more interesting, lively, and fun than Seagal you wish that he were the star of the film. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

|
1.5/4 |
All-in-all, what we have here is 'classic' Seagal. And that means, for anyone who isn't an admitted fan, an uninspired outing. Full Review |

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

0/4 |
Yet another action-thriller that just isn't very thrilling. Full Review |
