Post Strike Cinema 24' - Monkey Man

Monkey Man is another fun, action packed revenge film. Think John Wick but in Mumbai. The film has some serious  political and social undertones. Monkey Man explores themes of societal challenges, including corruption, discrimination, caste system, poverty and the experiences of the Hijra community in India.

Dev Patel stars while this is his directorial debut. He even broke his hand in the process of filming this film in Indonesia.

Alongside Patel, Sharlto Copley, Pitobash Tripathy, Vipin Sharma, Sikandar Kher, Adithi Kalkunte, Sobhita Dhulipala, Ashwini Kalsekar, Makarand Deshpande, Jatin Malik, and Zakir Hussain all star.

Monkey Man has received generally positive reviews from critics. The banging soundtrack, hard hitting action sequences, makes this an intense, wild ride.

The pumping tunes, the lack of guns, hand to hand combat made this film standout from your everyday action film. I enjoyed this two hour full throttle combat film a lot more than I thought I would. The final showdown was insanely fun! BYO fireworks!

OK no spoilers, this film was fire. A lot of fun, glad some decent movies are finding landing. Also Dev Patel is looking fine! How much working out have you been doing, damn!

4 Stars.
