Dev had to shoot some of the film on his iphone cos he could not afford proper cameras somedays and he lost most of his crew due to covid and broke his hand

18:38 felt like Joe cut off Alex and then proceeded to let him talk 😂

Don't really get that you needed to see the police chief being evil, he beat his mom to death then set her and the village on fire.

Netflix shelved this and pushed rebel moon instead clown ass company

I personally loved his movie. I do wish there was more fighting but I think the story was solid and I LOVED the action. The use of fireworks and biting as forms of combat had me rolling. I loved it. I really wouldn’t consider it a John Wick clone. Yeah, he wears a suit and pays homage to the series but it is its own movie. Also, crazy how much red tape and issues this movie had. Surprised that it was released at all. Broken bones, broken cameras, using iPhones & GoPros and small cameras on ropes, gluing tables together to use for reshoots, Netflix canning it during filming because they were scares about the Indian government being mad at it… regardless. I loved it

Spent a couple of years creating vfx for this. I think its a great movie and am so Happy for Dev and everyone involved. It was originally just going to be 'a small Indie film!' But the journey it went has led to where it is now. I feel on a second viewing you'll appreciate the choices more.

I feel like im the only one that didnt notice the shaky cam being too bad. Felt intentional to how dirty the fights feel

18:50 Rated R is just a genuine MUST if your action movie has a protagonist that is willing to KILL people, Im glad Logan finally understood to give Hugh’s Wolverine a mature take out of many films that censored the brutality,

Alex face while listening to AJ's praise for the film: "did we watch the same movie?"

People thinking this is just John Wick are mad wrong

He knew the guru was also implicated with his mother's death because he saw the guru's white car at the scene.

Ever seen the Man from Nowhere? Thats a really great movie too

i just cannot understand why Hollywood INSISTS on keeping the shaky cam alive.

Shaking cam worked for me wasn’t bad like snake eyes

My only two major problems with this film are this: -The Social Commentary on the Rich and Poor isn’t as explored much besides maybe one or two moments but they were quick moments. There was a line in the trailer that marketed the film as such, besides the Revenge Plot, but doesn’t do much with that. - The Main Villain, Baba Shakti, wasn’t given much to do. And that final confrontation, I thought was going to be a fistfight where Baba gets the upper hand on Kid/Monkey Man but no, it was subverting his attention to looking at his shoes and then getting stabbed. Like I was expecting Baba, though being a spiritual guy, would be a martial arts master and shit. But I loved Monkey Man. The fights, Some of the Cinematography and the brutality and violence was great. But yeah like everyone said, that training montage doesn’t explain how he was able to take on 4 guys at once, but I didn’t mind that montage and didn’t care for an explanation because it’s obvious he knows how to fight but he just wants to be hurt to feel pain and to the verge of death. Dev Patel did an amazing job and I kinda don’t want a sequel to this movie because where the story ends is as great as an ending of where it could’ve gotten to. It’s an honest 8/10 for me and yeah, I’d totally go watch this again or four times😅😅

I distinctly did not notice the shaky cam because I was actually looking at the fightings and not looking around and in that sense, it was easily to follow the fights and didn't have too many cuts

As action movie fan for over 20 years at this point, I get the notions that shaky cam has become such a taboo thing for many viewers as of late. I think it has more to do with finesse & clarity of the directors on using the techniques itself. It should not be bog down to a generalization of any shaky cam = bad camera works. It's the same thing with overkill jump cuts in action scenes. There are some movies that clearly can utilized camera shaking pretty well to emphasize the emotional state of characters & the ferocity of the actions, but then there are indeed plenty way more movies that used it to veiled bad choreography, resulting in a mess disjointed confusing action scenes. I have not yet seen this movie myself & I am indeed hoping a good example of it.

“Indian John Wick” Angry Joe - 2024

29:30 A.J. says "Slim-Dong Millionaire"

It was a great film but a major complaint is important dialogue is inaudible like the mics were way to quiet

Yes. It's definitely not John Wick-ish..

The shaky cam is on purpose to show the MC's development and confidence,...guess it didnt work lol

I appreciate that Joe did his research on this. And he is correct about the false accusation about wokeness. trans or what they call "Hijras" has always been part of Indian culture so it has nothing to do with pushing an agenda or wokeness stuff. These things were long there before the whole movement started. Just goes to show how some can accuse of wrong things when they dont even understand or know the culture/context. So kudos to Joe for pointing that out.

The shaky cam is no big deal, I’ve seen FAR worse to a point it becomes unwatchable.

18:40 .. The "if you're gonna interrupt me while I'm trying to give my input on this movie, I'm just not going to talk at all" face Alex gives.☠️ It was at this moment that AJ knew, he done freaked up cause he saw the face and almost immediately told him to continue lmao. Friendship at its finest😂

The only thing for me was that I could barely understand anything they were saying, but other than that, it was great. Choreography was amazing, for sure!

@ 1:37, The "shakey cam" you are referring to was because there was a stunt guy operating one of the cameras. Someone from the stunt crew's true passion was cinematography. Dev Patel said he would often find him dabbling in it while on set, messin' with cameras and setting up previzes before stunt scenes. So Patel decided to put a camera in his hands during a bunch of the fight scenes. So he could do stunts while filming, like rolling on the ground with the camera and "getting under the armpit of the action," Dev explains. So @ 2:07, most of the film was all filmed by the 1 main cinematographer, but that 2nd camera operator only stepped in to do fight scenes. And this was all intentional..

Please review Late Night With The Devil ❤ I really enjoyed it 😅

The character always knew how to fight, but he was losing on purpose. He only lost against the antagonist in the beginning because he was so nervous and lacked confidence…no? Or did I completely miss the mark on this one?

Joe and MoistCritical(Charlie) said almost the same exact thing verbatum. lol.

This movie was so boring for me I couldn’t understand with all the many flashbacks

Guys... I swear the Shogun review is starting tomorrow. Also the behind the scenes for this film is kind of crazy. With Dev shooting during covid, not having most of his crew, shooting on a iphone, etc.

Watched it in the UK today. Can see why Jordan Peel got behind it. Dev Patel goes full on James Bond and John Wick in Monkey Man. Quality film for a first time director, actor and script. It has a brilliant training montage done to the beat of a Tabla!!

This movie was boring with barely any fights he was gettin his ass whooped 85% of the movie

Is AJ reinventing Neill Blomkamp's name every time? I've heard "Blomquist" and now "Blomkov"

The shaky camera was meant to show his lack of experience and anxiety.

I gave this movie a 8/10

It's like the camera man is in the fight.

I’m just surprised the fight club owner let Patel (the most wanted man in town) back in the ring. You’d think he wouldn’t want to draw attention to his own illicit biz

8:55: "He's a dude who's ok at fights, but he's losing fights. And then he's punching a punching bag and now he's the greatest fighter of all time" I thought the powder he was given by the trans people gave him enhanced strength and fighting skills

The fact that Netlfix put 30 million dollars into making this movie then shelved it. But luckily Jordan peele stepped up and bought it from Netflix with Universal backing this play and are going to make money from it. Netflix gotta be kicking themselves

Joe always has an opinion and immediately changes it when OJ and Alex's opinions differ

Shaky cam ruins it for me ngl

Thanks AJ for letting OJ and Alex give their takes

Here goes joe and his reviews without doing research again and know what went to make this film lol oh and here goes Alex again with I hate everything again lol

Best action film of the year I loved this film I love the slow build a d slow start story telling and when the action happens it is intense and the shaky cam it didn’t bother me you can tell DEV dedicated a d this was a passion project for him it is a great film

LOVED the movie, messages and context. I saw India from a new angle I haven't expected! SO happy for Dev, such a deserving guy, I hope it does REALLY WELL!

John Woke

First minute of video and here is description based on faces i see: 4/10 3/10 | 9/10

I'm still waiting for the Godzilla x Kong extended review with OJ. I want to hear his thoughts since it's his type of movie.

need y’all’s take on Late Night With The Devil!!!

Agree with everything Joe and the guys said. Good movie not great and yes I’m not a fan of shaky cam at all.

23:10 thats because originally the scene included his mom getting R-. Thats why it felt like something was missing.

The Night Comes for Us is my recommendation for anyone who likes The Raid

Since you mentioned it, Ive got a video on the history of the Hijra community on my channel for anyone who wants to learn more

I loved the self aware reference they made. Very well done movie, amazing job Dev Patel. Also on a side note does anyone feel like he would make an amazing link??? Like in the live action Zelda movie coming out?? Indian culture has always been a foundation of zelda lore and culture. Would love to see Indian portrayals in the new movie.

glad you liked it

John wick is mention in the movie.

Movie was mid good fights but it dragged fersure

Alex that’s not what style over substance means

Oh no. Shaky cam?! 😣 I hate that shit too man. Takes away so much from the skill of the fight scenes

I understood the best friend getting in the car as they knew they would connect him to the attack either way because he was was the one who promoted him and got him access to the club and the higher ups.

I’m sorry, I’m still floored that anyone liked Silent Night

Can't believe you dropped a PaRappa the Rapper line

There is an emotionel premise, the movie literally starts with Young Dev in the jungle listening to a story of a monkey man

Dev is 6 feet 2 inches tall. That big guy he fought in the arena was a legit giant of a man.

Guys please continue rebirth you have plenty of time to finish it before the end of the month

Just saw the movie a couple hours ago -- my opinion on THE DOG is that it shows that Dev's character who's been through poverty and says lines like "You just forget us and have all those parties..." etc., doesn't turn a blind eye to people or even dogs in poverty that need something. It shows that he's resourceful AND cares for those that do not have much. It also acts as a way to include the girl in his dialogue too.

Good lord.......what are you talking about? This movie is not an operatic martial arts film. It is brutal and in your face because this is monkey man....this is primal animal aggression. That's the point.....and developing an emotional character is what made the action so exciting...this wasn't boring for a single moment!

Silent night was terrible to be honest

I’m about done with Dev Patel the dude just isn’t it.

Didn’t think the shaky cam was too bad. I saw it as part of Dev’s character’s development going from inexperienced and frenzied fighter to a more confident and polished fighter when the cam wasn’t shaky at the end. Overall, DEV NEEDS TO MAKE MORE MOVIES. This was terrific rep for South Asian action. And they used the track from Bloodywood during the final fight scenes (heavy metal band from India that kick major ass)

I liked it better than John Wick! We need more movies like this.

The score is 7/10

Its not called a tuk tuk in india its called a rickshaw

Shakey cam and a half cooked story kinda killed it for me. It’s not bad, it’s just not good. 5/10

If you are familiar with the story of Hanuman (Hindi God), it feels like a retelling of this story in modern day. But yes- could have been more tight

They deliberately kept the politician alive for the sequel. We never see Patel die at the end.

just saw it and i really liked it! buttt..the shaky cams gave my gf a huge migraine and me a headache. it was dizzying when we left and had to chill in the car for a bit

Patel the fire bender!

The guru is sat in the car whilst the village is burnt, kid sees the car...

The funny thing was the party with loud house music stops after a gunshot in the restroom. They obviously wouldn't hear it.

I'm with you on the shaky-cam. Damn the shaky cam but I liked the way the trauma was slow rolled. It was long. But damn it looked good. It is a good looking movie especially the last 30 mins Also thought maybe the shaky cam lessened as the movie went on becuase our hero got more focused

He has fireworks cuz it's Diwali loll.

The fancy escort saves his life, so their friendship was worth it.

It has more in common with “The man from nowhere” than John Wick.

React to the new JOKER trailer! It's out!

joe is still to this day cutting other joe and alex off

The leader of the Hijra did say they used to be warriors -- that's why he says remember who you are in the note.

didn't really notice the shaky cam, but close ups..yeah, bit overdone, but it's not that bad imo

i want to see it John wick meets Monkey man

The directorial style is a mix of Gaspar Noe, Darren Aronofsky and Chad Stahelski

Devs character was a skilled fighter at the beginning of the movie, he was throwing the fights on purpose

I fell asleep an hour in. What I saw was really not good. I'm kind of surprised how much people are fawning over this.

For everyone praising the final shot with the smile. They already did this smile with Heath Ledger in a promo poster for The Dark Knight. Still a good trailer tho.

Shaky cameras are because of budget limitations

when he's taken in by the community they talk about how he has the ability to fight and win, basically he doesn't want to - he wants to get his ass kicked to "feel something" so it's not that some time on the punching bag made him op😂

I actually walked out of this film. It was SO boring. I admired the camera work for a little bit, but like you guys say, the camera work was just too messy, essentially ruining the action. When I looked at my watch around the 1/2-way-mark and saw it was less than an hour in, I did a double-take! Felt like I'd been in there for hours already. So, yeah, not for me. Hopefully his next outing is a step-up (agree that it is INSANE how small the budget is, because, visually, this film looks impressive as hell)

I thought the training montage was more about finding himself again more so getting “stronger”. Including the community aspect of rehabilitating oneself. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I loved it!
