Psychoanalyzing The Glimmer Man

FRwL · 11-02-09, 08:08 PM

I saw this and have a few questions about it. Why were there two bald serial killers? And also how did Jack Cole know the 1st badguy would be in a church? And also how were the Russians tied to this? It was a pretty good movie probably the last great Seagal, and i liked the meaning behind the title, pretty badass. Weird how his boss from Vietnam would turn out to be a shady character but it's almost like this in action movies. Keenan Ivory Wayans was pretty funny too.

You're looking for realistic logic in a Seagal film? wtf...

I agree. The purpose of a Steven Seagal movie is give your brain a rest from all of the other things going on in the world. If your brain were to actually be in your head while watching a Steven Seagal movie, it would explode. Especially if the movie is "On Deadly Ground".

Did you ever notice how Seagal never gets hit?

It's not possible to analyze a Seagal film. None of them makes sense which is what makes them so fucking ridiculous but awesome at the same time.

What i like about Seagal movies (i've not seen his DTV ones) are that he steamrolls through the badguys, but at the same time his badguys are totally mule mean to make up for that.

I've seen some of his recent DTV titles, and I can tell you his steamrolling days are over. Now it's more like a jellyroll.
