Dev Patel as protector of people in Monkey Man
Dev Patel as action movie heroes, we hadn’t necessarily thought about that. Even if the actor had shown another face The Green Knight (2021) by David Lowery, from there to imagine interpreting people in the manner of Enter Keanu Reeves John Wick… However, with Monkey man, the actor intends to prove that he too can break teeth. He himself directs this film of which he is director and co-producer, together in particular with Jordan Peele.
The story will take us to India, where a young man tries to get by by doing all the jobs that no one wants. He also participates in fights and then wears a monkey mask. And he leaves prepare revenge against the rich who consider the poor less than nothing. He will then become the protector of the people, the protector of a story that his mother told him when he was a child.
A bloody trailer
The universal revealed the trailer of Monkey man and the least we can say is that Dev Patel rocks! In a tasty mix of humor and action, the actor gives himself and makes his adversaries suffer. The director’s influences are quite visible and the film appears to be a pure action work of his time. We also think about the excellent The raid in front of these ultraviolent clashes, with the camera as close as possible to the bodies. The only regret of these images is the length of the video which unfortunately shows too much for a first trailer.
Finally, note Dev Patel’s choice to compose mainly with Indian artists. The cast includes Sobhita Dhulipala, Sikandar Kher and Pitobash. But also the South African Sharlto Copley and the French martial arts champion Brahim Achabbakhe. Monkey man does not yet have a release date in French cinemas.
