When I got the Hype from Monkey Man. I thought to myself that the Reviews were completely exaggerated and that the film didn't promise what it promised. Well, I can tell you one thing: No John Wick part will beat it, but the film is still Fun and the solid Action scenes are Worth seeing.
The Soundtrack is Great and gives the Fight Scenes the Necessary polish. The Camera movement and quick cuts are impressive.
Dev Patel put a lot of Love into his first Directorial Debut and not just behind the Camera. He really got into shape for the Role and the Results are impressive.
The Fight scenes don't bring anything new, but if you consider that Dev Patel completed Combat Training for the Role, you have to honestly admit that the Boy still put in a lot of Effort.
Towards the end, Dev Patel proves that he has a little Keanu Reeves in him!
In the End, Dev Patel shows us that he can kick Bad Boys' Asses in a stylish and cool way.
I don't really like India films. Some of them are too exaggerated and uncreative for me and the whole Bollywood music is just not for me.
For me, Monkey Man is the first cool stylish Action Film from India that I really liked, especially because of its well-chosen Soundtrack.
Monkey Man was a Big surprise for me.
Lower your Action expectations a little and get involved with the Film and you will be pleasantly surprised.
