- macaronz2天前Monkey Man is a highly entertaining and visceral film, featuring spectacular action sequences that are a pure joy to watch. Dev Patel clearly put immense effort into this project, excelling not just as the lead actor but also behind the camera; his direction shines through in the brilliantly choreographed combat scenes. John Wick has undeniably become the benchmark for modern action cinema, and this film safely earns that comparison while holding its own unique flavor. The cinematography is incredibly stylish, vibrant, and modern. Although the pacing drags slightly in the midsection and the runtime feels a bit stretched, the overall experience remains thoroughly enjoyable.
- rg94002024年11月1日Monkey Man was a decent directorial debut. I went into it expecting a standard revenge thriller that has become so popular in the wake of John Wick, but I think it has a bit more depth to it than that. A bit. It sort of indirectly tries to tackle more complex sociopolitical criticisms, but it doesn't really do so head-on, making it feel a bit tacked on. The cinematography is at times really stylish and striking, and at other times, devolves a bit into shaky cameras and quick edits that feel chaotic during action sequences. Dev Patel is a star, but this isn't necessarily the best showcase of his acting. I think, for a debut, it's still surprisingly strong, and I prefer this to something like John Wick because it does attempt to at least give the character more depth. Though it does drag a bit in the first half, specifically near the middle. The second half is much stronger. I think the movie is at its best when it is setting the scene with some beautiful non-action cinematography.
- MrTrivet2026年4月14日Riding the wave of popularity of lone-avenger stories, the film had a strong starting point and high expectations behind it. Unfortunately, the final result doesn’t fully live up to that potential. Its biggest issue is the chaotic storytelling. The narrative structure feels uneven, attempting to juggle multiple tones and plot threads without always delivering clarity or cohesion. Dev Patel, both as director and lead, clearly demonstrates his talent and ambition. There is a genuine effort to create something more than a straightforward action film. The socio-cultural layer, focused on class divisions, abuse of power, and social fractures forms the core of the story, yet it comes across as underdeveloped and only mildly engaging. Fortunately, the film truly comes alive in its action sequences - raw and intense, closer in spirit to Oldboy than the stylized shots of John Wick, which the movie self-consciously references. These moments keep the film afloat for me despite its narrative chaos.
- jackmeat2025年11月14日My quick rating - 7.0/10. That was one wild, blood-pumping ride of a movie, and that isn't my sarcasm saying so. Monkey Man, produced by Jordan Peele and directed by Dev Patel, who also takes the lead as the mysterious fighter known simply as Kid, delivers a raw, emotional, and occasionally bone-crunching experience. Set in the shadowy corners of an unnamed Indian city, the film drops us into Kid’s underground world, where he makes ends meet by letting people beat the living hell out of him in illegal fight clubs while wearing a gorilla mask. Because, you know, dignity is optional when rent’s due. Underneath the sweat and blood is a deeper story of trauma and revenge. Patel weaves a layered story of a man who has been stepped upon one too many times, until finally, it's payback season. When Kid finds a way into the inner circle of the city’s corrupt elite, all that pent-up fury explodes, and his scarred hands turn into the kind of problem money can’t bribe away. What really makes Monkey Man stand out, though, is the action. The fight choreography is absolutely top-notch, with every punch, kick, and improvised weapon feeling genuine. There’s an intensity that reminds me of The Raid 2, especially during a spectacular kitchen fight that practically begs for a replay. I was glad the camera work never loses focus, letting the choreography speak for itself instead of hiding it behind shaky cuts. The chase scenes hit just as hard, throwing in bursts of chaos that kept me glued to the screen. The revenge story, while nothing particularly new, is well-told with emotional weight thanks to flashbacks that give Kid some real character depth. You actually feel why he’s doing what he’s doing, which is more than can be said for half the action heroes out there. Yeah, I thought a few moments were predictable and the film does dip into familiar territory now and then, but honestly, when the storytelling and the direction are this tight, who’s complaining? And the soundtrack isn't bad either. Each track strikes the right emotional cue, never too little, never too much. Patel is magnetic on-screen, balancing quiet vulnerability and explosive rage in a way that's riveting from start to finish. The supporting characters add some colorful flavor along the way, and the urban backdrops feel lived-in rather than dressed-up. I’ll admit, I was skeptical going in. Dev Patel directing an action revenge film sounded like one of those “this could either be genius or chaos” situations. Thankfully, it’s much closer to the first. Monkey Man is a smart, stylish, and brutally satisfying action flick that proves Patel’s got serious chops behind and in front of the camera. For action junkies, this one’s worth your time, and maybe a second viewing just to appreciate how clean those punches land.
- Niztradamus2026年3月18日Return to Monke: The Movie Feels at times like John Wick at home (even mentions the movie at one point) but can stand for itself when it comes to the action scenes. Same can't be said for the story. When one of the most pivitol points in the movie require somebody to snort a line of dry bleach and then walk it off with nothing but a little nosebleed, you have lost me. I just can't let go of my disbelief at that point. You can also tell this was written and directed by "British" man, considering how the transformers are portrayed. To top it of I just can't take someone with an Indian accent trying to talk tough seriously. Other than that good movie. I'm glad I have watched it, even with its shortcomings.
- Chris C2025年8月1日As a directorial debut for Dev Patel, this is a very solid outing. It's a film rich in colors and hues, and it's easy to see that there was something personal about this for Patel. It's not non-stop action, but there are multiple well-crafted set pieces, which are lots of fun to watch. There's some real brutality to some of the action, which might put off some viewers, but I thought fit well into the movie. Plot-wise, it's ultimately a fairly standard "revenge action-thriller", but there's enough here that it still feels fresh enough. It's an above-average action movie and a great start for Patel as a director.
- Kevin Ward2025年7月2日Monkey Man if nothing else puts Writer/Director/Star Dev Patel on full display as a creative force. You can feel the passion and drive emanating off the screen. The tight close-ups and shaky cam aesthetic of most action scenes particularly early on will surely frustrate some. But I think it imbued the film with a messy but ferocious energy that fit perfectly with the story. Indeed as Patel’s skills level up throughout the movie we see the camera steady and pull back slightly from the action, the choreography becomes more elegant along with the costuming and settings—it’s as if the film itself is leveling up along with the kid or “Bobby”. The fact that this is Patel’s first directorial feature also lends itself to the feeling that Dev himself is leveling up as a director as the story progresses. I think this aspect is altogether unintentional, but I couldn’t help but feel that while watching it. As for the story, it is a straight forward revenge thriller that incorporates some elements of Indian Hindu mythology, spirituality and politics into the narrative, albeit with fairly broad strokes. Still it’s completely refreshing perspective from a mostly Western production. Overall, I was extremely entertained by Monkey Man. Brutal and bloody fight scenes (so many stabbings), and Dev Patel’s passion is splattered all over the screen. Highly recommend.
