An attempt to make a real movie even having outdoor location shooting and a cast of extras who don't look like the guys who pack the boxes.

In addition, unlike it's plotted movie competitors, Sin City has woken up to the advantage of having cute young girls within a short time of them first appearing in the industry. So here we have model quality Kima Lee (credits: Jade), gorgeous little Jassie, and adorable at least a first glance, Monique. Jassie and Monique only do a g/g but Kima, who previous to this has only screwed her black boyfriend in {The Real Naturals #7} and done a series of g/g's and masturbation scenes, does a b/g with Dillon Day.

Not that her performance is great--fake moans probably prompted by the director--and Dillon looked like he wasn't having an easy time. She seems to be one of those girls who are so gorgeous looking that they don't have to do anything else but "be" to be worshipped by the males and she's not about to change that now. OK, I'm not proud. Just dreaming about Kima's gorgeous little body is enough. Frankly, I can understand how she's not turned on by the males I've seen her with so far, but once I get her on her own... (big grin). So, if you don't like Kima or her attitude and are not thankful for every minute of video of Jassie and don't care for young-looking blondes (Monique) you might want to look elsewhere. For me this movie is a keeper.

As to the rest of it, Asia (who annoyingly wears sunglasses all the time even though most of the movie takes place at night) has just been released from prison where she was because of her participation in a stolen car ring. She wants to return to the ring so as to make enough money for her mother's operation (sheesh, I haven't heard that one in donkey's years) but Dale, who seems to be some sort of organizer, is not sure. I really don't know why.

In some convoluted plot twists which don't make much sense, Dillon is a bad guy who's screwing Kima, a mobster's wife, and is killed for his carnal exploits and then Steven, who's some sort of South American drug lord, wants to send a large number of stolen cars down South and it has to be done quickly. April is a computer hacker who's role (apart from the sex) is to change the car registrations, and various other types are cops and assorted hangers-on.

There's lots of macho posing--my gun is bigger than yours, type of thing--including by Asia, and the action is well below a "B" movie level in quality. On the other hand most movies of this type are not exactly Masterpiece Theatre so I suppose someone who's a fan might not notice the plot lapses and the bad acting.

Asia is over the hill. April looks OK but hey, how long has she been in the business? And Flick is barely seen as she gives a BJ to disgusting Tony Martino in a car.

Sexwise: in a simulated scene Dale screws Asia; Dillon screws Kima ending in a belly cum shot; Evan (a boyfriend) screws April ending in him jerking himself off on her belly; Jassie and Monique do a g/g; Steven screws Asia ending in a belly cum shot; and Flick gives a BJ to Martino.

Oh, if you're interested, Asia pays for the boob job for her mother, Steven is incarcerated, and Dale becomes a police informer (or maybe he was all along).

Condoms used for everyone except Asia. Date of release: 11/15/01.
