Even with all the film's problems, Argento's charisma keeps things relatively interesting for lengthy stretches of time. Go to Full Review
Craig D. Lindsey Crooked Marquee Feb 23, 2023
Even without the clunky pacing and hella gratuitous nudity, Monkey is still a pitiful, lame-ass attempt at being both carnal and criminal. Go to Full Review
Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Apr 29, 2009

Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Feb 10, 2009
