Despite some unevenness it's pretty solid and generally visually impressive. A directorial debut Patel can be proud of. It's hard to make an revenge / action movie stick out and generate conversation but MonkeyMan delivers on both fronts and I always am impressed when someone can make a film feel fresh. If Patel and his production team work with a better script next time then I think they can kill it. Also Sharlto Copley is awesome and is way underutilized in Hollywood.
