Loved MONKEY MAN. What a delight of a film! It has a couple of slow spots but it is so much fun! People comparing it to JOHN WICK movies are selling it short. Dev Patel is out for blood and he acts like it. Sharlto Copley is brilliant in his 5 minutes of screen time. As for Dev, man, major props to him!

Cultural side notes: (a) Kudos to Dev for putting the modern day saint in museum level ancient carved wooden sandals. (b) I'm still proper shocked to have seen that the musician was played by a living legend, tabla maestro Zakir Hussain. The interplay of sounds made by him and Dev in the workout scene is a clever play on a "jugalbandi", a sort of performance where there is a 'dialogue' between classical dancers and musicians; the musician puts down a beat and the dancer has to 'say' it back to them through their footwork. That scene was so much fun! (What's even more amazing is that they even had another scene before this as a primer, where the maestro plays two tablas as though they are two voices talking to each other. They thought this through!)

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Pre-order Monkey Man.

Absolutely BAFFLED by how ignored Boy Kills World seems to be. It's the most engaging film I've seen this year, I absolutely loved it.

But there's been no marketing for it (I didn't see a trailer for it until the day before it came out) and the reviews are more mixed-leaning-to-positive. I know that I'm not always going to agree with general consensus but I'm honestly wondering if everyone else saw a different movie than me.

Anyways, even if I'm an outlier, even if you don't like Boy Kills World as much as I did, I still think everyone should see it because there's a chance you'll like it as much as I did.

"Highly decorated combat pilot. You ask him, he thinks he's the best in the world. But he's a functioning lunatic. Last week he tried to escape by jump-starting an ambulance." "My kind of guy."
