Monkey Man - Reviews

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

A savage triumph.

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

...a gritty, nasty piece of work.

...a gory descent into darkness.

...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.

...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.

Dev Patel goes wild in ultraviolent Mumbai revenge flick.

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

...en actionfilm med mer själ, hjärta och trauma än vad genren vanligtvis brukar berikas med. Blodflödet är det heller inget fel på.

En originell vision med uppriktig slagkraftighet.
