Monkey Man Reviews
Consequence
Liz Shannon Miller
While the stakes are never less than serious and the tone never wavers, there's still a playfulness to many of Monkey Man's fight scenes that makes them thrilling to watch - and to generate excitement for whatever Patel might choose to do next.
ScreenCrush
Matt Singer
The sort of genre exercise that makes you realize creating a "straightforward" action movie is not so straightforward.
Observer
Oliver Jones
This ambitious movie is a blood-filled vengeance tale, a diatribe against institutional injustice, an ode to Indian culture, and a case for Dev Patel as a prodigiously muscled action hero.
Huffington Post
Candice Frederick
Even with its flaws, "Monkey Man" stands alone as a testament to what an actor can do once he takes his career into his own hands.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
Genre fans may disagree but I would rather see an in-your-face action yarn than one that pretends to be something more…and doesn't know when to quit.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Monkey Man isn't without its faults, and it does take some time to find solid ground. But Patel shows directorial promise, displaying a uniquely personal vision that allows his film to defy simplistic genre classifications.
Slant Magazine
Justin Clark
Monkey Man is in no rush to get where it's going and Dev Patel puts a lot of trust in his audience to stick with him to see where it arrives.
The Atlantic
Shirley Li
A stylish thriller that's also a cathartic unleashing of Patel as a performer and storyteller. With Monkey Man, he asserts himself as someone who can break the boundaries Hollywood typically establishes for actors like him.
Autostraddle
Aamina Inayat Khan
Maybe the format doesn't blow our minds-it hits the familiar beats of a long-popular genre-and yet its radical because action movies have historically shown the military and police in favorable light.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Patel does various things that are par for the present-day course: Steadicam, handheld camera, the occasional use of slow motion, even a bit of strobe. None of it feels show-offy, though.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
As an action flick, Monkey Man is often quite entertaining, but it keeps distracting you with images of the film it's trying, and often failing, to be.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Dev Patel comes out swinging in the monumentally entertaining and bare-knuckled revenge flick...
The Film Verdict
Alonso Duralde
Patel turns each of Monkey Man's fight sequences into a dazzling blend of choreography, cutting, and swooping camera moves; that's a combo that, in far too many films, leads to visual chaos, but the team here crafts these moments with assurance.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Patel's passion project is a big swing, and a big swerve for the actor. Luckily, it connects, landing with a satisfyingly bone-crunching intensity. And if this is intended as Patel's calling card, he leaves the whole damn deck on the table.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
This is a tense, engaging thriller where people are stabbed, shot, dismembered, and killed in a variety of graphic and unspeakable fashions. Monkey Man may be a silly-sounding title but the story it tells is anything but silly.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Dev Patel tries too hard, and for too much, in his directorial debut, but he's compelling enough to make you believe almost anything.
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
Brutal, bone-crunching, neck-gouging set pieces, some great musical choices...
DwightBrownInk.com
Dwight Brown
Over-the-top violence is rarely this much fun. First time directors are rarely this skillful.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Peter Rainer
For what it is, it's quite effective and Patel is a credible action hero.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
Monkey Man makes for a forceful directorial debut from Patel. More than anything else, he brings a compelling gravity to a film that is quite serious about getting seriously brutal.
