John Wick on steroids
prevnextMonkey Man is Dev Patel’s loving tribute to all things action. It’s like John Wick but on Steroids. An insanely violent revenge film. Dev Patel directs the hell out of this thing and there are some seriously insane sequences that make you go how did they do that? #MonkeyMan pic.twitter.com/CqpMXQfhNe

Dev Patel nailed it
prevnextMONKEY MAN is brutally violent, against the villains, but also against the hypocrisy of religion, the tyranny of caste, and the oppression of a corrupt government. Dev Patel nailed it, bloody as hell and intense as fuck. pic.twitter.com/b6bytWYbGl
