Critics Consensus

Simon Sez no matter how starved you are for something to watch, there has to be a better option than this dreadfully misguided action thriller.

This cockamamy action flick is excruciatingly formulaic -- brimming with spy movie cliches but devoid of the genre's fun, upper-class pretensions.

Dennis Rodman may be a great rebounder, but as a pop-culture icon, he's a one-trick pony.

Dare Daniel

A superspy action-comedy too brain-dead to even qualify as a James Bond knockoff.

Rated: 1/5

Maitland McDonagh

TV Guide

This on-the-cheap action thriller appears to exist purely as a showcase for the limited talents of self-created caricature Dennis Rodman, who in turn clearly needs to exploit himself while the exploiting is good.

Rated: 1/4

It's as painful to watch as Rodman's star-posturing interviews.

OH, JESUS F***! This movie should have never been made. No matter how starved you are for somethin' to watch, there's gotta be a better option than this flop. For starters, Dennis Rodman may be good at basketball, but on film, he's just a one-trick pony. And if he actually made a profit, Rodman ain't gettin' nothin'. After a token fast break in theaters, "Simon Sez" just dribbled over to video stores. But Simon says "Avoid this misguided 'Die Hard' knock-off." For experts, just avoid this. IMO, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, should avoid this ultra depressed thriller that tries, and fails, to be James Bond. You want spy films? Watch 007 movies, nothin' wrong with that.

This is so colossally awful you'd think it was one of those "films within a film" that's intentionally supposed to look awful. Dennis Rodman is so bad it sounds like English is not his first language. A complete failure across the board.
