    Not Seagal's best (Hard To Kill or Above The Law) but certainly not his worst (Half Past Dead seems to take that honor so far). Rates just above decent but somewhere below pretty good in terms of Seagal films.

    OMG...He's old, fat and so out of shape. They have to do speed motion camera and special effects just for his fight scenes now. He's the new "B" movie action flick king or maybe "C" movie, LOL"

    3 of 5 stars for the Steven Seagal action movie Shadow Man. Usually I would give a higher score to a Seagal movie but this movie has a specially thin plot. In fact, if I write anything about the plot, it would be a spoiler. So let me be cryptic. Seagal has something that the bad ... read moreguys want. They send thugs to get it from him. The thugs get killed. They send more thugs...

    Well made, good action with plenty of Seagal's calm approach to killing people. High body count, lots of blood. Some good chases. This movie is beyond "easy on the brain" (see Seagal, see thugs, see dead thugs, repeat). Yes, recommended if you want lots of action and fights.
