Dunston, on the other hand, is a deeply cautionary tale. Similarly a monkey raised in the world of thievery, he developed none of the charisma or subtlety that makes us forgive Abu. Instead, Dunston is a violent curse bestowed on a hotel in the form of a shrieking monkey. Swinging on chandeliers and causing physical harm to guests, it would be charitable to call him a pet when he seems to have fully reverted to a feral nightmare that only didn’t rip someone’s arm off because the credits rolled in time. If the movie had an epilogue, Dunston would be sniped by the police and everyone would understand.
