While this certainly doesn't satisfy as a thriller, beneath the gritty exterior and all the expletives there lurks a sweet, rather old-fashioned love story. Not a great movie, but quite charming all the same. Rupert Everett stands out as a world-weary drug dealer/addict.

MCT:September 6, 2007I initially avoided this because I thought the title sounded like a stupid joke. I still don't really understand why the main character is called a monkey even though they say "because she could get in anywhere." I've never thought of a monkey to be a great thief but I'm not completely hip on my Britain slang. Anyway, this was very good. Asia Argento is heartbreakingly beautiful and Jared Harris shows his usual greatness (it was nice to see him in a major role for a change). Rhys Meyers plays a cracked out thief to perfect, but that may be because he always looks cracked out anyway.
The story - criminal trying to live anew life - has been done before (and better) but the characters make it work. I liked the idea of a kindergarten teacher falling in love with a criminal. I'm usually not a fan of jazz, but the use of it in this film (Harris is also a late night DJ) worked. The spontaneous way the characters moved from place to place was much like jazz and I think that point comes across quite clear and effectively. -
MCT:May 11, 2007I love this film and finally bought a copy of my own on Amazon. What can I say about this film? Asia Argento, need I say more? Another must see. Trust me.
