This cockamamy action flick is excruciatingly formulaic -- brimming with spy movie cliches but devoid of the genre's fun, upper-class pretensions. Go to Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club Aug 3, 2009
Dennis Rodman may be a great rebounder, but as a pop-culture icon, he's a one-trick pony. Go to Full Review Joe Leydon Variety Jun 17, 2008
A frenetically junky action adventure that will quickly dribble off to vid stores after a token fast break in theatrical release. Go to Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel Mar 26, 2020
1/5
A superspy action-comedy too brain-dead to even qualify as a James Bond knockoff. Go to Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide Aug 3, 2009
1/4
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

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.
