Review of Simon Sez

Simon Sez (1999)
Aggressively stupid but gets better towards the end
2 March 2001
Simon Sez is a relentlessly stupid and childish film. Dennis Rodman's sidekick gives what may well be the most annoying performance in cinematic history. The first 20 minutes, with its idiotic dialogue, day-glo costumes, and poorly executed action will test the patience of all but the most undiscriminating viewers. However, while the dialogue and costumes don't much improve, the quality of the action takes a big leap midway through the film. All of a sudden, there are imaginative shootouts, stunts and chases that are well-shot and well-executed. Things are helped along by the scenic European coastal locales and Rodman's surprisingly serious performance. Ultimately, Simon Sez is not a great or even a good film, but it should provide entertainment to fans of B-movies and crazy Hong-Kong-style action.
