Description
Christian and Devin give their spoiler-free reactions to Dev Patel's directorial debut Monkey Man. Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Dev Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city's sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.TOPICS IN THIS EPISODE:Start / Housekeeping (00:18)Spoiler Free Section (03:47)Final Thoughts and Ratings (15:24)Coming Up Next / Closing (19:35)GRADES: Christian: 90/100Devin: 86/100Overall Score: 88/100Contact Film Optix Rate and Review us on Apple Podcast and Spotify on your podcast platform of choice!
