This is Paul Salfen with your KLAK Movie Minute. In theaters this weekend is Monkey Man, the outrageous action flick starring and directed by Dev Patel, showcasing not only a boost in the view of him as an actor but he has quite an eye and vision as a director. With insane action sequences that recall The Raid and John Wick, this story of revenge and redemption go back to the character’s tragic childhood and drive to get back at the people in power that slayed his family. With a relevant political tone and a busy lens, the film draws you into its world quickly and keeps you there until the end. Full of memorable characters and stunning visuals with a strong dash of spiritual lore, this action flick hits on all levels. See it on a big screen with a full audience for the ultimate effect. That’s it for this week. Join me next week and every week for another Movie Minute right here on 97.5 KLAK, AMFM Magazine, and RECRD.
