The Glimmer Man (1996)

Rate: 5
Viewed: 1/05, 8/08

8/08: The Glimmer Man works for me because I am a fan of Steven Seagal.

Thanks to John Gray's direction, there are plenty of skull-bashing, bone-breaking scenes that have made Steven Seagal a unique, exciting star who stood apart from the field of action stars during the 90's.

One marked improvement for Steven Seagal is his sense of humor. He's actually a funny guy. Meanwhile, his co-star Keenen Ivory Wayans is okay for the most part but can be annoying at times. The black-white buddy setup is formulaic as it's been done countless times such as Lethal Weapon, 48 Hrs., and Beverly Hills Cop.

All in all, I kept my expectations low prior to seeing The Glimmer Man and got what I wanted: entertainment.
