Monkey Man

I have a soft spot for Dev Patel, I've always liked him in every role I found him in.

Needless to say I was rooting for this movie right from the beginning as this is his first experience as a director.👍

Backed by Jordan Peele nonetheless...💯

And after this preamble, I am excited to say that the movie is really good.😁

Let's say, always avoiding spoilers, that every fight scene is scraping John Wick's levels of choreography and style.

Patel's inspiration from it is palpable but in a good way.

The script is pretty solid and the cast, to my knowledge, is definitely on point.

Superb soundtrack, I cannot stress it enough, every song/track/musical sound was perfect for the scene it was in. They managed to cram together every possible music genre (except for country) in this picture. 🔥

The villains were decent enough to make us root for our hero, however I have some problems with the "training to get stronger" scenes and the weird transgendery turn the movie took at a certain point.

However it all worked fine in the end.

So, would I encourage you to watch it?

Hell yeah, especially if you liked John Wick's franchise.

Great job Dev.👍

How Would I Fix It ?

• As previously mentioned, I would explore the villain to make him a little bit more "human" and at the very least get his perspective on the political problems in the movie.

• Definitely work on the training scenes to make them impactful and justify as much as possible his level-up.
