Bad Monkey Recap: Burning Down the House


Bonnie’s wacky story line finally intersects with the main plot, and it yields glorious results.

I’m sure this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Michelle Monaghan — like Yancy has noted in the past, Bonnie just keeps popping up — and even though her plotline has felt tedious at times, her performance is captivating, and I kind of hope she stays in the mix. Scott Glenn gets in a good headbutt, and Rosa shows off her fledgling weaponry skills, but in the end, no one gets hurt, and Yancy decides to instruct the goons to clean up the mess instead of reporting them because he doesn’t want Pestov to get in trouble. Sure, it’s cool that he doesn’t sweat it when his house is shot up by Russian gangsters, and his bemused reaction when his ex blows up Shook’s McMansion to get his attention is pretty hilarious, but his lax attitude about bringing Rosa undercover is irresponsible at best.
