EVIL ANGEL VIDEO/JOHN LESLIE PRODUCTIONS
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I should have reviewed this one about a year and a half ago when it was "topical" but it takes a while for me to get things over in the UK. I can't just walk into a video store and pick one up the day it comes out. But anyway, I finally got it, and yep, it was worth the wait, I reckon. John Leslie is indeed a talented man. The production values here are fantastic with sets, make-up, costumes and acting (!) to rival REAL Hollywood movies. The script is also rather intriguing and quite unlike anything I've ever seen. The sex? Well, on the whole it could have been better, I suppose, but Christina Angel really is a beautiful creature isn't she? In this movie she looks fantastic (in make-up courtesy of Allan Bosshardt, the VIVID regular) and she's also the focal point of the whole film. If you don't feel the same way I do about her, then you'll probably not enjoy the film nearly as much, as she appears in nearly every scene (sex or non-sex). Anyway, enough of this already, on to the film itself....
It begins with Steve St Croix, a diamond thief, handing over his latest aquistions to Jon Dough and David Pollmen (Bald, ugly black male, horrible moustache). They're very happy, but refuse to give him his money, as they want him to join their organisation, some kind of surrealist mafia run by Jamie Gillis. Steve refuses and storms out. Next thing we know, he's walking down the patented John Leslie Dark Alley (TM) with smoke blowing left, right and centre and a car pulls up alongside him. From out of it springs two men who pin him to the wall. John Leslie himself walks out of the car and reads Steve the old "Your life is not going to be worth living" act. It's nice to see Leslie back on screen again. He's still a great actor. Anyhow, Leslie drops his cigarette into a puddle in slo-mo ("see how quickly things can change" he says, as it fizzles out) and the three men drive off, leaving St Croix standing alone in the alley. Now we cut to a desert vista of some sort where Krysti Lynn is riding a horse led by Steve. She tells him that "there's only room for one on this horse" as we now see Christina riding across the plains wearing a delightful leather number. She pulls out a rifle and we cut back to Steve in the alley, being picked up in a car by his pal Joey Silvera. He asks Joey to take him home....
Now for some sex, after a lengthy (but well done) introduction. Steve arrives home to find Jon Dough and David Pollmen in his house with his wife (Krysti Lynn). They beat him up (a bit corny) and leave him gasping on the floor while they screw Krysti who they say "belongs to the organistaion". This is mostly Dough's scene as we don't even see Pollmen's dick! He just fondles Krysti the whole time (obviously he has erection problems) and keeps his limp member well hidden at all times. Anyhow, this is quite a nice scene. Krysti looks delicious and Dough's been in the business long enough to know what he's doing. Pollmen's an annoyance but he's easily blocked out of your mind. Steve wakes up half way through and gives Dough an evil glance, to which Dough replies "Stick around. I'm going to fuck your wife up the ass!". Nice guy? Steve walks out and Dough proceeds to anal Krysti while Pollmen just hides away behind her, fondling her breasts. Eventually Dough delivers a GREAT facial (I love her reaction) while Pollmen just stands by her face, rubbing something in his hand which may (or may not) be his penis. Cut.
Now we see Steve paying the Boss (Jamie Gillis) a visit. They indulge in a surreal conversation which flicks from Jamie's office to the desert vista in between words (nicely edited). Christina is displaying her impressive body throughout as she writhes along Jamie's table and presses herself up against his window. Eventually she delivers BJ's to three guys in the desert (Tom Byron, Alex Sanders and Jake Williams. YEUCK!) while Jamie and Steve continue talking. This is a very brief scene and each guy ends by delivering a weak facial. Jake's is barely even noticable and Alex's is in slo-mo in case you miss it!
On to the next scene. Joey sets Steve up in a motel room (I think) for the night, but Steve can't sleep so he heads off to Gerry Pike's bar. Shortly after he arrives, Isis Nile picks him up. She's a prostitute, BTW. She jerks him off in the bar, very briefly, before they adjourn to the back room where Christina is masturbating behind glass. Isis and Steve do cowgirl and rev-cowgirl, but all of this is overshadowed by Christina playing with herself. VEEERY nice, indeed. Anyway, if you still care what Steve and Isis are doing, the scene ends in an average facial, and we cut to Steve's motel room again.... Incidentally, all the editing in this movie (courtesy of Leslie himself) is very fast and the scenes do flit from one to the other rapidly.
Christina is making the bed for him, and it's revealed that she represents all that he wants and needs (and all I want and need too!). Then she screws Gerry Pike (yeuck! She's really getting all the horrible guys in this movie, eh?). She gives him a brief BJ before they enter a lengthy rev-cowgirl (yummi!) which shows off her body quite nicely, with some great camerawork courtesy of Jack Remy. It ends with Gerry delivering an okay facial. Okay, not because of what he does, but just because she's so attractive. Anyway, Steve snaps out of it (that last scene was just a hallucination, apparently) and goes to sleep saying "That's it. No more symbolism!". Some hope!
He breaks into a REALLY weird dream which I'm not even going to attempt to describe, but basically there's lot of flicking from dark alleys to desert plains and Jamie blows his brains out with a gun. Steve wakes from this and goes into Joey's room, only to find that Joey is busy with Lana Sands and Maeva (French blonde. Quite pretty.). No real motivation is given for this scene, except that Joey thinks he's to be killed by the "mob" also and this is his "last chance for sex". It's fairly dull to begin with. Maeva sits on a chair, feeling her breasts, while Lana (with strap-on) sucks Joey. Soon afterwards Lana gets Maeva to suck on her strap-on. I can't see what's erotic about watching a woman move her mouth around a tacky piece of plastic and the whole strap-on business itself is a turn-off for me. It also hides an important part of the female anatomy. Anyway, Joey screws Lana (rev-cowgirl, tho' because of the strap-on it looks like Joey's screwing another guy!) and then SNIP! The scene ends abruptly with no cum-shot. Or so we think.... We actually just now cut to Steve being beaten up (again) this time by some cops. After this brief interlude, it's back to the three-way where Maeva is now being penetrated by Joey and Lana is rubbing her strap-on frantically as if it gives her pleasure! How stupid do they think we are? This soon cuts away again (I told you this editing was frantic!) back to Steve and the cops, before finally returning to the bedroom, this time just in time to see Maeva getting analled by Joey. This lasts for awhile before ending in a dual oral cumshot. Not that great, but passable.
On to the grand finale, now. I won't tell you anything that happens here as it's basically the summation of the whole thing. I was finding myself confused throughout most of the film, but this puts it all into place so if I tell you now, it'll ruin it, but basically there's a conclusion that's been hinted at (subtly) throughout the whole movie and one final screw, this time between Steve and Christina, as he drags her from the bar into his room. It's a fairly straightforward screw with 69, doggie and missionary but Christina's so stunning that it's really quite erotic. It ends in a kind of chin/neck cumshot from Steve and the two of them fall into each other's arms, just before the final dark and mildly violent conclusion in the alley. [NB- This is followed at the end by the credits (Obviously). I noticed that Krysti's character (Steve's Wife) is credited as "Joey Silvera"! I'd like to see someone who had never seen a porn film before reading those credits and telling his friends that he just saw this movie where Jon Dough analled Joey Silvera then delivered a great facial cumshot!]
Overall? I liked this film. It's hard to put it across into words as it's a very visual movie with a lot more going on than in most porn films. Acting is fantastic on all accounts, with Steve doing particularly well. The production values are truly the best I've seen in an adult movie for years. The script is certainly VERY innovative and in the end it makes sense, too, although things do get a bit muddled in the middle. The scenes with the cops seemed a bit pointless, IMO. As for the sex, all the scenes were watchable with none of them being repulsive. The girls were certainly nice enough, esp. Christina who is rapidly rising to the top of "My WishList" (TM). Overall, this one's worth watching if you haven't already seen it and definately the right film to show to your friend who keeps telling you that porn films have no plot or meaning. I'll give it a healthy 3.50 on the Imperial scale.
Happy viewing!
