Rating: Summary: This movie is AWESOME Review: This movie is AWESOME! The action sizzles, the comedy will have you rolling, and Dennis Rodman stars! But what I like about it most are the philosophical underpinnings. This movie is the perfect metaphor for the postmodern hyperrealist fugue theory proposed by John L. Umblaut in the 1930's. The theory is a brand of religious existentialism except with Kantian overtones. Look it up on the internet if you want more information. This movie is great. Entertaining, funny, thought provoking. Two thumbs up...Way up!

Rating: Summary: So BAD So Good Action a la Hong Kong Movie Review: Watching "Simon Sez" is like reading a trashy comic book; like a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, you never think seriously about its plot or characters at all. You just enjoy the series of set-pieces such as not-so-bad action scenes with awful lines, and too obvious comic relief that is not as funny as moviemakers intended. Dennis Rodman always looks like Dennis Rodman, but if so, who cares?Actually, thanks to the participation of Xin Xin Xiong (as action director and second unit stunt coordinator) from Hong Kong, action scenes are better than average. Xin Xin Xiong himself appears as a bodyguard, and displays his superb martial arts skills, but, you know, Rodman is no Jet Li (with whom Xiong collaborated during Ji's Hong Kong era). If you are a fan of Hong Kong action films, you might find "Simon Sez" more than passable. If you are not, well, give only one star and forget about it.
