Title: A GLIMMER IN HIS EYE
Product review: Once a hot action movie property, Steven Seagal returned in 1996 to team up with Keenan Ivory Wayans in this action thriller. No, Seagal is not a great actor, and yes he seemed a little out of shape for this role, but with that mischievous glimmer in his eye and his sardonic approach, he makes THE GLIMMER MAN a more than serviceable adventure. Giving Seagal a secretive background and a mystical Buddhist persona aids the picture in its quest to be different, although the plot is standard and nothing new or innovative is approached. But the fight scenes are fun and Seagal and Wayans have a perverse rapport that is enjoyable to watch. Bob Gunton and Brian Cox are fine villains as well, and a special salute to John W. Jackson as Donald, the security man with an evil smile. Fun pass the time entertainment.
