Bjorn (ODDBear) Well, another of Seagal's Direct-to-DVD movies down the hatch. This one actually wasn't too bad.Once again the the big dude plays a former operative with a colorful past which is hinted at but never explained. Once again he has a daughter that's kidnapped and he breaks some bones to get the guilty party.The script, in fact, is somewhat confusing now and then and the paper thin story seems more complicated than it actually is. Old Steve does OK here, he's not dubbed (I think) and he seems to be doing most of his fighting himself. Oddly enough, fairly many shots show him (and leading lady Eva Pope) continually below face level so just about anyone could be doing the running there.Spoiler A particularly curious scene involves Seagal and Pope fleeing the safe house due to a helicopter chasing them. Their faces are never shown while running, neither in the car as they get to the woods and only a close-up of Steve with a gun while he shoots the chopper down. Very strange scene - might even have been put in after the fact. Very cheesy CGI in the scene by the way.End of Spoiler "Shadow Man" is average entertainment all the way. If you're in the mood for Steve, this is an OK choice. Decent fighting scenes and shoot-outs but it's mostly pretty forgettable.

dtvmike i like under siege , but i think that was like the best movie he ever made ? since then , i don't think he had once made any cool movie . . . i just got to say i LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie's action , fighting , acting , and plot . . Steven kills his own father like nothing, w/ the coolest 1 hand punch to the chest and the father bleed all over the wall right behind it . . than the ultimated unlimited bullets ? sounds like a Chinese movie where everyone has unlimited bullets ? and you noticed how fat Steven has became ? wow for a fat guy w/ those fat cheeks he sure moves pretty quick without running to kick his next victim's. finally we have his 1 man army tactics, 1 vs what was that ? 3 - 4 guys with guns aiming at him ? well i guess his like Boris the bullet dodger . . well there you have it ladies and gents. . we should have this movie as part of America's hall of fame for comedy , though i think he should really start his career toward comedy more than action ? cause all of the things he does is just pure hilarious . . .

yuriar7 Steven Seagal:since he has made films,he was making films with a lot of surceases.But in the mean time,Steven is getting older,fatter,and even worst.When I first saw this movie,I thought it was not very good.But then I realized that wasn't very bad,in mather of fact,it was very good.The plot is better than many others of his movies.For example:in this movie all of fight scenes were not doubled(except the first one in the very beginning).Many films had these things(stunt doubles in most of his fights,stunts and action sequences.Just like Black Dawn,Submerged and so one.But in this one he looked more like the old steve that we have met years ago.But the age comes and it is inevitable.

Tonci Pivac Steven Seagal is getting old. Luckily he had found some extra energy when compared to his "movie" Black Dawn. Still - Steven seems to be so fat and tired of all this action junk, that he only has the energy to whisper his lines and barely keeps his eyes open. Anyways Shadow Man is definitely an above average film in Steven's latest production thanks to good production quality, director and a better script than on average in these films.The plot is simple: Steven's character Jack is carrying micro cell containing a virus without knowing about it. Bad guys and the good guys want it. Ka-Boom. The end.The film is pretty good in the beginning but it kinda loses it's intensity on the way. In the end of the film you just wish for the film to end. It's a horrible movie but if you have absolutely nothing better to do and you're a Steven Seagal fan - then you might check this one out. Otherwise - get something else. I'm not a demanding critic when it comes down to guys like Steven Seagal: The problem's just that I gotta keep it real - I didn't feel myself entertained during the film. Steven's losing his grip on this.Some people say Steven Seagal has only one face. They couldn't be more wrong; Stevie has at least two faces. Cool and extra-cool. In the film for a second I thought Steven was trying to act but neh.. I was wrong.
