200 Proof

About This Movie

200 Proof is a gritty dive into the underbelly of British criminal life, centering on Jenkins, a gangster with a peculiar business model involving a strip club and a dubious aphrodisiac. The atmosphere is thick with tension, punctuated by the moral ambiguity of the characters. Dodgson and Andrea, the federal agents, bring a different energy, trying to navigate this murky world while maintaining the upper hand, but it’s Jenkins' layered performance that really draws you in. The pacing has a slow burn quality that builds unease, making the explosive moments feel earned. It’s distinctive in its portrayal of vice and survival, a testament to the darker corners of human desire.

200 Proof remains an interesting piece for collectors, especially due to its limited releases and obscure director. Many copies are hard to come by, which adds to its allure among genre enthusiasts. The film has developed a niche following, likely due to its unique take on crime and the morally complex characters that populate its story.
