is an absolute star. He has pulled off a feat that is almost unprecedented in modern Hollywood. He writes, directs, produces, and stars ina few weeks before principal photography, this film looked like an uphill battle for the ages. But having seen the movie and how absolutely awesome it is, Patel’s work is a testament to the magic of filmmaking. The picture overcomes its own adversity to create an entertaining, violent revenge movie that does not hold back in the least.
The setting and production design is part of what makes Monkey Man feel so lived-in and raw. It has a very distinct voice, primarily set in India with a story infused with Indian culture. Patel clearly wanted to bring his personal culture into the film, and it pays off very well as we get a look at this landscape that features corrupt police and terrorism.
It’s fascinating because the style he brings is unique. He puts the camera pretty close to the action, but he also uses some wide-angle lenses. There are POV shots, there’s always clarity in the fights, and there’s a lot of handheld to create a frenetic, dynamic movement. The musical score that plays over the fights can sometimes overpower the sounds of the punches and crashes, but besides that, the action is a strong element to this film.
