Monkey Man - Reviews

Dev Patel, the unlikely action god, has arrived. Heed his call.

...a gory descent into darkness.

A savage triumph.

...gore-hounds will relish Dev Patel’s brutal revenge thriller.

...functions just fine as a gritty, hard-hitting actioner in the key of John Wick, with Bobby’s initial plans going poorly and forcing him to re-evaluate them.

Dev Patel emerges as a compelling action star in his directorial debut Monkey Man, a scrappy revenge tale set in a fictionalised Indian city where corruption is rife.

Dev Patel goes wild in ultraviolent Mumbai revenge flick.

...a gritty, nasty piece of work.

...may be an origin story for a future action franchise character, but it feels more to me like an origin story for a future action star and director.

The dripping-wet violence and exertion of Monkey Man make you feel like you’re watching someone tear a film from their flesh.

Monkey Man is a rip-roaring story of adversity and inequality, not to mention a rousing, blood-soaked work of art that stands as one the new great classic action movies.

Multi-hyphenate Dev Patel packs a punch on-screen and off in this thrilling homage to martial arts movies.

Man kan nærmest smage blodet, når abe-manden bogstaveligt talt bider fra sig.

...leverer hjernerystende tæsk uden at tabe karaktererne af syne.
