Monkey Man18

Directed by Dev Patel | USA | 2024 | 2h 1m | Starring Dev Patel, Sharlto Copley, Pitobash, Vipin Sharma, Sikandar Kher

A young man makes a meagre living in an underground fight club, enduring nightly beatings from more celebrated fighters for money. After years of harbouring deep-seated anger, he devises a plan to infiltrate the inner circle of the city’s corrupt elite. As his childhood traumas resurface, he unleashes a relentless campaign of vengeance against the men who stripped him of everything. Dev Patel’s directorial debut is a brutal revenge thriller, filled with bone-crunching action and sociopolitical commentary.

Reviews

‘It’s a muscular, emotional, ferocious triumph of a movie, and when it’s over, you’ll want to go right back in and watch it all over again’
★★★★★
Matthew Jackson, The AV Club

‘The new Dev Patel is taking no prisoners in this slice of Mumbai mayhem, announcing himself as a filmmaker with possibly the most ferocious mainstream action movie since The Raid.’
★★★★
Philip De Semlyen, Time Out
