Dev Patel, you little dancer! #MonkeyMan is full of gritty fight scenes, a chaotic blend of culturally significant story and revenge narrative, and stylish visuals. For a $10m budget, Dev has absolutely cooked with the vibrancy and passion on display here. That mouth knife kill🤤 pic.twitter.com/UU1MIoio2U

#Monkeyman review a generous 6/10. The trailer is VERY VERY VERY misleading. 2 action scenes majority was BORING. However, cinematography was stellar and action was great (when it was shown). Dev has potential as a director. Wud love to see him make an out and out ACTION flick.… pic.twitter.com/IzUmKcwP04

loved MONKEY MAN. 50-plus different weapons are used, and combat is not the intended use for 40 of them (and i’m being generous). blood-soaked action that is directed and choreographed with incalculable fury. this dev patel kid is going places, i’d say! https://t.co/Fh1H0KpV4H

Despite some narrative messiness #MonkeyMan is a bloody, visceral, surprisingly soulful bulldozer of a film and a remarkably astute directorial debut from Dev Patel that will (hopefully) shoot him to the moon.
