About this release
Il candidato all'Oscar Dev Patel (Lion - La strada verso casa, The Millionaire) realizza un sorprendente debutto alla regia con un thriller d'azione che racconta la ricerca di vendetta di un uomo contro i leader corrotti che hanno ucciso sua madre e continuano a vittimizzare sistematicamente i poveri e i deboli. Ispirato alla leggenda di Hanuman, simbolo di forza e coraggio, Monkey Man vede Patel nei panni di Kid, un giovane anonimo che si guadagna da vivere in un fight club clandestino dove, notte dopo notte, indossando una maschera da gorilla, viene picchiato a sangue da lottatori più famosi in cambio di denaro. Dopo anni di rabbia repressa, Kid scopre un modo per infiltrarsi nell'enclave della sinistra élite della città. Mentre il suo trauma infantile ribolle, le sue mani misteriosamente sfregiate scatenano una esplosiva ondata di vendetta per regolare i conti con gli uomini che gli hanno tolto tutto.
