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.
Jack Mathews, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
It's repetitive mayhem as usual.
Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today
Rotten
Just as foolish and formulaic as it sounds.

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