Atom User Reviews for Monkey Man
Incredible fighting scenes and story. One of the best revenge films of all time. Like an Indian John Wick.
An amazing and original story by the action man himself, Patel! Absolutely loved the whole story, kept me and my company entertained and hooked from the beginning.
The movie gave me John wick vibes and. Batman it’s an eye opener to what really happens in India
worst movie I've seen in awhile.
Revenge is always the answer
Amazingly choreographed fight scenes and a powerful but simple story that you can emphasize with and still see happening today. We need more fight scenes done this well.
This movie was incredible! So much detail and so raw, I love the emotions too! Dev Patel and cast did a great job, love to see it! I would watch again
Left after the first half.
amazing
A slick, action-packed, emotionally charged one-man-army revenge movie with blood to spare and a timely message about corrupt societies. I didn't love it, but I liked and respected it.
This was just an insane tearjerker bloodbath but goated movie of the year
Bloody and very violent
Solid Action Movie
MID
A lot of fun, good soundtrack and exciting to see Dev in this kind of role
Good start, slow middle , Great ending.
This movie was absolutely amazing! I can’t wait for part 2!
Definately worth seeing!
The movie is heavy with action and it’s really good but the story kinda has too many holes and slow so it will feel boring in some parts but still really good movie.
it was good, at times it had its slow parts. I personally was kind of
Must see.
Great story of lord Hanuman!
Too good!
Indian John wick mixed with batmin begins
What you expect but more!
Very well thought out movie. I enjoyed the action scenes as well as the sentimental moments. Very well written
Movie was insane, but in a great way. I loved everything about it. The cast and crew should get an award for this film. It was so good. Plan to see it again this week. Highly recommend.
Well done good actor too good fight scenes
Unwatchable
Indian John wick Batman . Started off very strong. Lackluster confusing ending
A revenge story about more than vengeance. A lone warrior who fights for his community and whose community fights for him.
Loved how the movie kept showing the flashbacks and how the movie ended the way it did. Did a good job with that.
made you think
I’m so glad this movie was made. Everyone should see it!
I see there went for a John Wick type of film. With half of the budget, they did fantastic with the fighting and such.
Metacritic
Patel’s desire to make something more than a straightforward action film is admirable, especially since he had to juggle responsibilities in front of and behind the camera simultaneously to do so. Monkey Man suggests he’s got potential as a filmmaker in the future. In the present, his directorial debut is the sort of genre exercise that makes you realize creating a “straightforward” action movie is not so straightforward.

Monkey Man may be a silly-sounding title but the story it tells is anything but silly.

The result is a stylish thriller that’s also a cathartic unleashing of Patel as a performer and storyteller. With Monkey Man, he asserts himself as someone who can break the boundaries Hollywood typically establishes for actors like him.
