Actor Dev Patel, who you know from Slumdog Millionaire and The Green Knight, is both director and star of Monkey Man. If the trailer is at all representative, Monkey Man offers gun fights and street fights and fighting in the ring as well, Hindu deities and superheroes, social justice and revenge, sin and redemption, over-the-top yet realistic set pieces, and even a touch of comedy. Oh yeah, and some bangin' music. If I had to describe the trailer in one word, it would be "intense."
If you need it, a bit of the plot is explained at the YouTube page. Monkey Man was originally supposed to premiere on Netflix, but after seeing it, producer Jordan Peele pushed for a theatrical release. Monkey Man will hit theaters on April 5.
Think I'll just wait till it hits Netflix and not watch it there.
