Monkey Man First Reactions: Critics In Awe Of Dev Patel’s Action Thriller

First reactions to Monkey Man have surfaced after its SXSW premiere on Monday. Let’s just say, critics have fallen in love with the latest Dev Patel directional.

When it comes to standing ovations, SXSW is notorious for not giving them. But there must be something special about Monkey Man, otherwise it would not have received a standing ovation.

Monkey Man has a 100% certified ‘fresh’ score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have praised the work of Dev Patel in the film, who has helmed and led the film. The actor gave everything he had to make it sensational. According to some reports, Patel suffered several injuries while filming the movie, including a broken hand, two broken toes, a shoulder injury, and an eye infection throughout filming Monkey Man. This level of effort shows how committed the Slumdog Millionaire fame was to his film.

Monkey Man revolves around Dev Patel’s character, who works in an underground fight club. His ultimate mission is to take revenge against some corrupt leaders who not only took his mother’s life but also enjoy torturing poor and powerless people.

Critics have praised Dev Patel’s direction and raw performance in the film. In addition, the movie’s exhilarating fight sequences, exceptional cinematography, and excellent camerawork have received special praise from many prominent media publications. ‘Get Out’ fame Jordan Peele has co-produced the film.
