Forgot to post about this last week, but I got to go see Monkey Man in theaters and it was killer. Absolutely worth a look if you dig revenge flicks a la Oldboy (the 2003 Korean original) or John Wick.

Men at Work. Everything about this movie is stupid, and the actors know it so it works. Keith David is the MVP

Gotta love a movie that wears its inspiration on its sleeve, but uses it to make something new and interesting. I thought it was a pretty amazing directorial debut. Patel makes a number of big, interesting creative choices that don't necessarily all work, but I respect the hell out of him for swinging for the fences. The camerawork is one of them - (spoiler'd just in case someone cares) all of the shots in the first act are super tight, (presumably) representing the character's narrow hyperfocus, and widens out in the back half of the film as his skill and perspective grows. I'm not sure it fully works (it makes the action hard to follow in several scenes, especially the mediocre car chase), but drat, what a cool creative choice to commit to.
