Perkings

About This Movie

Perkings is a gritty blend of action, comedy, and crime, set against the backdrop of small-town Chile. You’ve got Marc, this aging thug in his 50s, who’s caught in a web of desperation after a botched drug deal. The film packs a punch with its dark humor and a raw portrayal of crime, but it’s the chemistry between Marc and his best friend José that adds depth to the chaos. The pacing might feel uneven at times—partly due to the dialogue-heavy scenes and partly the escalating stakes—but that just adds to the film’s charm. There’s a sincerity in the performances that grounds the action, making it more than just another heist flick.

Perkings has a bit of a murky history, with its year of release and director still shrouded in mystery. The film has seen limited physical media releases, making it a bit of a rarity in collector circles. Interest in it seems to be growing, particularly among those who appreciate its offbeat take on crime and camaraderie. If you’re into that blend of action and dark humor, it’s certainly something to keep an eye out for.
