Monkey Man

Monkey Man is a great time if you like brutal fight choreography and righteous vengeance. Most of its surprises (though not all) are stylistic. The fictional city of Yatana is a cyberpunky exaggeration of Mumbai where the haves drive past the have-nots on the way to all-service nightclub marked with crowns. Don’t expect laughs - the best is in the trailer, apart from choice ironic needle drops and some action cinema shoutouts. The cam gets a bit too shaky here and there. Slows a bit in the middle with an origin we already had plenty gist of but ramps back up after that.
