Monkey Man (2024)
Winner of the Audience Award at SXSW 2024, Monkey Man stars Oscar nominee Dev Patel (Lion, Slumdog Millionaire) as Kid, a man seeking vengeance against the corrupt leaders who murdered his mother and continue to systematically victimise the poor and powerless.
Patel makes his feature film directorial debut with Monkey Man, which has an 89% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is the 49th biggest box office hit of 2024 so far.
With Oscar winner Jordan Peele (Nope, Get Out) and Basil Iwanyk (John Wick) among the producers, Monkey Man has been hailed by Time Out as “possibly the most ferocious mainstream action movie since The Raid.”
Look out for South African star Sharlto Copley (District 9) in all the Mumbai mayhem.
