Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 5032476, member: 833"] [B]Monkey Man (2024 - Peacock) [/B]is one of the most amazing action movies I have ever seen. Dev Patel has gone from being a quirky but mostly forgettable younger actor into a true leading man. He is incredible in this movie, both credible as a badass destroying a powerful crime syndicate, but also vulnerable enough that the movie is more than just a generic pseudo-superhero slaughter-fest. Patel is also a heck of a Director. The action sequences are original and compelling to watch. I think that leaving the love interest out of the movie was a very good move. There is a lot going on with the plot without shoe-horning a contrived romance into it. I am jaded about action movies, and generally get bored with them pretty quickly. Monkey Man is so good that it is worth getting a Peacock subscription. [/QUOTE]
