"Monkey Man" was my most anticipated movie of the year at one point in 2024. The trailer looked awesome and gave off vibes of a Mumbai "John Wick." I was already inclined to give the movie a shot, given it was written by, directed by and starring Academy Award-nominated actor Dev Patel, but when it then got a stamp of approval from acclaimed director Jordan Peele, I was officially sold.
The final version of the movie that I saw in theaters wasn't quite "John Wick." The trailer for the movie is very heavy on combat sequences and action stunts. The movie, meanwhile, is significantly more nuanced.
