Monkey Man

Starring Dev Patel in his feature directing debut and produced by Jordan Peele. Monkey Man originally was set up at Netflix in 2021, but Peele had the opportunity to see the movie immediately was taken by Patel’s vision and felt the film deserved a big-screen release.

Somewhat agree with the above. The first half is genuinely terrific, builds up nicely and when it explodes, it's glorious.
The tail-end of the first half fell quite flat for me, and seemed to suddenly devolve from gritty, violent action to almost video-game quality in its tone and substance, the mid section lagged a bit, and the final act, while decent, never quite lived up to the promise of the first half.
Still though it's not bad and there's plenty to like. Indian John Wick is fairly accurate to my mind. Lots of cool action, Dev Patel is very good, as is general choreography and production/cinematography. I'd say a 6/10 is well earned.
