After starring in 'Slumdog Millionaire' and landing an Oscar nomination for 'Lion,' Dev Patel pours blood, sweat and tears into his pounding directorial debut.
Dev Patel’s got something to say, but he's going to let his fists do the talking. With his directorial debut, the wild revenge movie “Monkey Man,” the Oscar-nominated actor makes a bold statement with this one-two punch of a film that asserts himself as both an action star and a promising new genre voice. Having achieved his fame in more serious dramas like “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Lion,” Patel’s passion project is a big swing, and a big swerve for the actor.
The style of the film evolves with our hero. Working with cinematographer Sharone Meir , Patel favors lengthy takes in which the camera follows bodies in motion closely, looking up to catch a hit and then down to see the result. These shots get smoother as the film progresses and the climactic showdown in the VIP bar is a gorgeously fluid set piece, soundtracked to the churning guitars of Indian folk-metal band Bloodywood.
