About this movie

From producer Jordan Peele comes Oscar® nominee Dev Patel's astonishing tour-de-force directorial debut, inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage. Patel stars as a man with no name, scarred by a brutal childhood, who ekes out a meager living in underground fighting rings. But when he finds a way to rise up and infiltrate his city's corrupt elite, he kicks off an explosive campaign for retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him as a boy. Channeling the rage of the poor and powerless, an unexpected hero emerges in this fight-filled action epic.

Ratings and reviews

I have been following the films of Dev Patel ever since, "Slumdog Millionaire". Monkey Man is an excellent film and is worth watching. The story line is original and the actors played their parts well. This movie is recommended for viewing.
