Monkey Man

Monkey Man (2024) is an action thriller you can watch online on iFILM — the feature directorial debut of Dev Patel, who also wrote the script and plays the lead. A US/Canada/Singapore co-production released by Universal Pictures.

A young fighter known only as Kid earns a living taking punches in an underground fight club, always wearing a gorilla mask, always meant to lose. The money is small. The rage underneath is enormous. When a kitchen job at the city's most exclusive brothel puts him face to face with the corrupt official responsible for his mother's murder, Kid starts down a path he's been mentally rehearsing for years. Co-starring Sobhita Dhulipala and Sharlto Copley.

Patel drew on the Hindu myth of Hanuman — the monkey warrior — to frame a story about grief, class violence and the machinery of power. The fight choreography pulls from South Asian action cinema: close, brutal, deliberately unglamorous. Stream Monkey Man (2024) full movie online on iFILM.
