Serving as both a tribute to the thrill of iconic action cinema and a lamentation of the mimeograph that the genre has become, Dev Patel’s directorial debut “Monkey Man” is intensely fiery and ambitious. “Monkey Man” is loosely based on the myth of Hanuman and follows the main character, Kid, portrayed by Patel. The film is centered around a young man who works his way out of an underground fighting ring into a menacing circle of Mumbai elite. He then sets out on a violent mission of vengeance after finding himself face-to-face with the catalysts of his own childhood trauma.
