Jack Foster (Steven Seagal) is used as a pawn to smuggle a lethal virus out of States. Not knowing the trouble Foster is involved with, he takes his daughter along to a trip to Europe where she gets kidnapped by unknown agents. Now to get back his daughter and to stop deadly virus from falling in the hands of wrong people, he has to show his real skills and to let them know that he ain't gon be easy thing to deal with. Im a great fan of Steven Seagal and have hardly missed his any movie but unfortunately Shadow Man is a disgrace to his profile and I felt like stopping the movie in the middle and hit the sack. Also frequent camera moves and stupid car chases adds up in making this movie worthless to watch. Story line itself gets a bit confusing sometimes. Only thing I liked about this movie is Steven Seagal's few martial art moves which he does best all the time but overall action ain't that good esp he bringing helicopter down with his pistol. I reckon to go for Seagal's classics rather than renting or buying this DVD
