Monkey Man (2024)
5/10
Too long for the material it had
12 April 2024
This is a promising debut, in no way a bad film, in places it seemed to drag a long time, the action bits are good no doubt, there was even some woke attempts by including a specific third gender of people in Asia, it didn't affect the movie, did it feel the right choice? Arguably not, but that's the world now, no long right people for the job, who fits what box.

Whilst the action is good, we have seen so many of these kinds films, plus a lot do it better, some stuff was clever and the characters weren't bad but still did those stupid 8 on 1 fights that are legit impossible to win or 4 people with guns in the same room and none can connect.

Ending was strange, not bad just a bit flat, definitely not a film that needs returning to, if it was half hour shorter and focussed more it'd be far better.

Plus I'm sorry but I don't buy Dev as a badass or tough guy,
