L'homme singe

The movie has three extended action sequences, and I would have been happier if it had eight of them -- that is, if it had less pretensions and, like the "Wick" films, was more willing to wear its pulp on its sleeve.

With Monkey Man, Patel offers an allegorical story that combines the technical and heroic sensibilities of his favorite action figures (Bruce Lee, John Wick) with the mythologies rooted in his ethnic identity.

While far more grim than one might expect, and miles away from being a straight crowd-pleaser, it proves Patel is a force to be reckoned with, not only as an action star but as someone with skill behind the camera.

Dev Patel's Monkey Man is an impressive debut for Dev Patel as both a director and action star.

Quelque chose de vernaculaire se produit dans ce beau spécimen de long métrage, des affectations dont les références directes et à la foi sidérale envers cette déité mammifère « de l'ordre des primates » est plus que jamais un point fort du hindouisme.

Surnommé le «John Wick de Mumbai', cet excellent L'homme singe de et avec Dev Patel, produit par Jordan Peele (qui voulait lui assurer une diffusion dans les cinémas, au-delà du contrat avec Netflix), est bien plus que cela.
