Link in comments for more.
Quick Glance: Monkey Man: Dev Patel's Action Journey
- Dev Patel wrote, produces, directs, and stars in this bloody revenge tale that reinvents him as a next-gen ass-kicker.
- Patel's directorial debut aims to not only work his way into the ranks of action filmmakers and A-list ass-kickers but also to become an anarchist in the post-Raid: Redemption, post-John Wick world.
- In 'Monkey Man,' Patel embodies the role of 'Kid,' embarking on a revenge mission and facing various challenges, including a confrontation with the police chief responsible for a traumatic event in his past.
- Monkey Man is Patel's way of leaving his mark on 21st-century cinema by creating the same feeling he experiences as a consumer of screen carnage.
