Should you refuse to show off your mind to take pleasure in a foolish motion film, that is on you. And there are few sillier than the 1999 schlock masterpiece “Simon Sez.” Sure, we use the time period “masterpiece” half-sarcastically, as a result of on the subject of this grade of goofy, over-the-top motion film, “Simon Sez” hits the nail on the pinnacle — beginning with its gimmicky star, controversial NBA nice Dennis Rodman.
Within the movie, Rodman performs smooth-talking, wild-mannered Interpol agent Simon who, with the assistance of his outdated good friend Nick (Dane Prepare dinner), is on a mission to take down a harmful weapons seller (Jérôme Pradon). Nick’s boss’s daughter (Natalia Cigliuti) has been kidnapped, too, after all, as a result of Motion Film Plot, and do not you understand it, the 2 conditions are related. Martial arts followers will admire the choreography and stunt path of Hong Kong stuntman Xin Xin Xiong, whereas for everybody else, Rodman’s involvement makes the entire endeavor worthwhile.
Channeling equal components Wesley Snipes and — maybe inadvertently — Robin Williams, Rodman cannot match the chops of both however is value expecting the novelty alone. Certain, the film makes loads of nonsensical selections (like casting Rodman as an Interpol agent within the first place), however that is type of the enjoyable. As a “so-bad-its-good” B-movie, “Simon Sez” will solely disappoint should you take it significantly.
