If there’s one guy who knows how to make your spine tingle with a thriller, it’s Jordan Peele. Remember Get Out? Or Us? Not only did he produce Monkey Man, starring, written and directed by Dev Patel, but he’s seriously hyped about how Patel handled every aspect of it. Critics are also enthusiastic (check out that 88% on Rotten Tomatoes!), and Peele had this to say: (Click on the media below to hear Jordan Peele) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Jordanb_peele_Dev_Patel_Monkey_Man_.mp3

Akhirwan Nurhaidir (ewet) / Universal Pictures Copyright © Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved. When Dev Patel was writing Monkey Man, the film he was also planning to direct, he knew what he had to work with in his lead character, since he was also going to star in the movie. Knowing that he wouldn’t be working with an actor who had a Schwarzenegger physique, he set about writing a character that would match his own attributes. But, when it came time to make the movie, Patel discovered that he still needed to get himself into fighting shape. And that, he told us, took a lot of dieting and willpower.

Dev Patel is Kid in ‘Monkey Man’ (Photo Credit: Akhirwan Nurhaidir © Universal Studios)
Oscar nominee Dev Patel poured his heart and soul into Monkey Man, and his unwavering commitment resulted in a film that masterfully blends adrenaline-pumping action with thought-provoking social commentary. Patel’s feature film directorial debut hits an occasional rough patch, but when it’s firing on all cylinders, it’s incredibly entertaining.
It’s hard to believe that the same Dev Patel who made his breakthrough in Slumdog Millionaire has now become a badass action star. The opening scenes introduce his character, Kid, as a brawler wearing a gorilla mask, his hidden face serving as a punching bag in an underground fight club. Winning isn’t his goal; earning cash is why he is in the ring. The more blood that flows from his beaten body, the higher the payment he receives from the club’s owner,...

Jordan Peele, of course, knows a good thriller when he sees one. After all, he’s directed Get Out, Us, and Nope, which have all been both critical and commercial successes. He’s not behind the camera for the new action film Monkey Man, but he is one of the movie’s producers. And Peele said that Dev Patel, who co-wrote, directed, and stars in the film, has done an amazing job with the film’s intense action sequences.

Dev Patel dives into multi-hyphenate territory with the thriller Monkey Man, a new film that he stars in, directed, produced, and co-wrote. Wearing all of those hats proved to be challenging for Patel, but not nearly as challenging as the shoot itself was. Speaking at SXSW, where the film had its world premiere, Patel said Monkey Man adhered strictly to Murphy’s Laws of filmmaking, but somehow, he got it done.
