Interesting to know that Brahim doesn't try to watch too much of the martial arts action out there right now so that it doesn't interfere with his creative thought process. Makes sense in a way considering that having all of the contemporary choreography in films these days swimming in your head might cause you to subconsciously copy too much of it and prevent as much originality in your own work. With that said, despite Monkey Man being compared to John Wick because of the more grounded slower-paced hand-to-hand combat, it's quite different namely in the lack of gunplay (or gun-jutsu as they sometimes label it) and more intense camerawork. Great directorial debut from Dev Patel and I hope he collaborates with Brahim again soon.
