Dev Patel is best known as an actor for his sensitive and soulful portrayal of a variety of characters. After breaking out in Brit TV sensation Skins, he’s appeared in the likes of Slumdog Millionaire, Chappie, Lion, and The Green Knight.
But with Monkey Man, he turns writer and director (while, yes, still also starring), in a full-on action revenge thriller that pulls no punches. Set in India, it follows ‘Kid’ (Patel) on a path of vengeance, out to right wrongs from his own past, and dispensing justice to his city’s corrupt ruling elite.
