About This Movie

So, 'Monkeys' from '89 is a TV movie that dives into the wild life of John DeLorean. You know, the car guy who ended up in some serious trouble. The pacing feels a bit like a slow burn, which really helps to build up this heavy atmosphere around his rise and fall. It’s not flashy, but the performances capture that tension and desperation really well. The practical effects are minimal, but they work in the gritty realism of the story. It’s based on Ivan Fallon’s book, 'The DeLorean Tapes', which gives it an interesting angle. Definitely a unique slice of history, showcasing the chaos surrounding fame and downfall without glossing over the darker bits.
