You can't please everyone all the time., 9 June 2003
5/10
Author: Michael O'Keefe from Muskogee OK

In Viet Nam they called him "The Glimmer Man". As a homicide cop they all tend to think of him as trouble. A renegade New York cop(Steven Seagal) with a not so perfect background is transferred to L.A., where his actions make him a prime suspect in a series of murders. It takes time for the soft spoken, new age cop to get the respect of his partner(Kennen Ivory Wayans).Typical strong violence with well paced martial arts displayed. Not much different from any other Seagal movie, but not as good as some.
