6. Quote a paragraph from the review that you think expresses the overall opinion of the reviewer about the movie.
¨The Kid doesn’t take down Rana the first time, which leads him to become the focus of an intense police search. Like Hanuman, the Kid finds his strength through community. With the help of Alpha (Vipin Sharma) and other hijra, a tribe of third-gender people, the Kid undergoes intense training and a renewal of faith. It’s in these intermediary chapters that Monkey Man stumbles. Patel weaves in elements of contemporary Indian politics, but an overall lack of specificity left this critic with more questions than answers; there’s a nagging tension here between the potential nuances of the story’s political context and the desire to stage a basic encounter between good and evil. Monkey Man’s attempt to connect mythology, politics and the personal results in a movie that only does each element, at best, half-justice. The over-reliance on cliché in an already spare screenplay doesn’t help either.¨
