The John Wick fanatics loved the outcome of the movie, as it portrays similar action packed sequences.

“Monkey Man” is ahead of the newly launched horror franchise “The First Omen”.
After overcoming all the struggles, which included losing the location, breaking cameras, shooting certain parts with a phone camera and gopro, the movie came back as a warrior.
Initially when Netflix took up the project the budget was $30 million, but after it was taken up by Universal Pictures, the budget was only $10 million dollars, with some help from Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions. So, obviously Monkey Man is on its way to make a large profit.
The strong reviews from the audience, certainly indicates the success rate of Monkey Man. It seems like Dev Patel’s hard work finally got paid off.
