• Ben Kingsley as Jungle Ninja

  reverendtom2006-12-04

  This is one of the flat out funniest movies I've ever seen. 10 out of 10 for sure. Ben Kingsley stars as a man who has special powers over animals. He travels across the jungles with four monkeys, and the identity of the fifth monkey is debatable. My theory is that it is Kingsley, but friends of mine have argued that it is a mysterious monkey that Kingsley sees in a waterfall at one point. There is monkey-like love scene, a crazy old rich woman with a private zoo and her own crazy drunken veternarian, averted prison rape, Kingsley ninja action and more. Its been years since I've seen this film, but at my house in college we watched this film repeatedly. It never gets old. It has a nice laid back pace to it, and as I said before, it is hilarious. (Mostly unintentionally funny, I believe.) 10/10.

  I believe that this movie should be watched by all people of every origin. The fifth monkey is a powerful and moving movie that has gone unnoticed and unrecognized for far too long. I think that The Fifth Monkey should be rereleased into theatres for all those people that missed it the first time. I give this movie 1,000,000 thumbs up!!! Do not miss your chance to see this spectacular melodrama of life and love.
