Movie Reviews of The Glimmer Man
Movie Review: The Beginining Of The Fall Of Lord Steven Seagal
Summary: 3 Stars
I guess Seagal wanted to be a little like Eastwood here; giving a more forensic approach to his movies, a little twist here and there...and why not a little of Seagal's special recipe of bone crushing formula, it wont due any harm...right?..Wrong, this movie is the perfect example of Segal's downfall from stardom. Since Seagal isn't as thin or as fast as he used to be, he needs a co-star to have a little more screen time so Seagal can catch his breath and eat little more doughnuts. Seriously Seagal hit top bottom after this, with the exception of Fire Down Below and Exit Wounds, all of Segal's future movies following that sucked.
In Glimmer Man Seagal plays Jack Cole, an Ex government intelligence operative known as "The Glimmer Man," because he could move so quickly and quietly that his victims would only see a glimmer before they died. in fact that is so BS, Segal moves slower than his previous movies here, his gut is beginning to grow and his acting is stale and wooden. anyhow back to the movie, Cole is assigned to work with An L.A. police detective named Jim Campbell (Keenen Ivory Wayans) they are both on the look for a serial killer known as the "Family Man" he is given that name because...well he kills families; and aside from killing them he tortures and crucifies them after their deaths. After a string of murders the killer gets personal, he kills Coles wife..and you know what that means...that's right...its payback time, but it seems that this killings are beginning to get weird, there is a copycat making the murders look like "the Family Man"....now the question is Who is the killer, the "family man or the copycat?
Along with these psychos we have a local crime boss doing dealings with the Russians, somehow its all connected and don't expect a clever twist because there really isn't. I give them credit for adding some suspense here and there, but Segal doesn't belong in this movie, he feels out of place. The only good actors in this movie are Keenen Ivory Wayans and Brian Cox. So yeah, rent it or wait for it to be shown on cable, but don't buy it, not worth it.
MY PERSONAL RATING: 2 ½ OUT OF 5

Summary: 4 Stars
The line that sets off the final fight scene in this movie. Ok, ok, I won't go into or state the obvious about Segal not being the greatest actor in the world. But this movie was fairly entertaining when you put it up against alot of other work Segal has done. Wayans provides excellent comic relief that actually for the most part works surprisingly well. Segal plays a detective with a "mysterious past" (C'mon Steven, you can only play this character so many times) and he teams up with Wayans to find the "family man", a serial killer who targets whole families with a religious twist. The action and fight scenes are pretty good. Not Segal's best, but far from his worst.
