[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The film centers around two LAPD detectives: Jim Campbell (Keenan Ivory Wayans) and his new partner Jack "Glimmer Man" Cole (Steven Seagal), who has transferred from New York, and has an almost untraceable past. Together, they set out to find a serial killer identified as the Family Man, called so because each scene involves an entire family murdered.

One of the first strikes of the Family Man after Cole's arrival is the murder of Ellen Dunleavy, Jack's ex-wife. Because of his highly unclear past, Jack becomes a suspect. Because this murder is highly personal to him, Jack is now very determined to bring down the Family Man.

[edit] Trivia

  • The Brian Cox character was originally intended for Tommy Lee Jones, and Jones was attached to the film before leaving shortly before filming again. Cox replaced him on very short notice.
  • Steven Seagal wrote two original songs for the movie, "Bulletproof" and "Snake", performed by the Jeff Healey Band and Taj Mahal, respectively. Trevor Rabin, formerly of Yes, composed the score, his first as a film music composer. He has since composed scores for many other movies.
