Plot/Premise:
 
A period piece set during Prohibition.  A cop named Eliot Ness (Pike)
recruits female agents to help "nail" the bad guys.  What dialogue I paid
attention to seemed pretty ridiculous.  Pike is fairly laughable as Ness in
that he can't deliver his line the appropriate venacular for the time or place, 
often using non-American colloquisms.

The Talent:

April is the only blonde in this feature.  That's pretty unusual.  I hadn't
seen April before which is one of the reason I chose this video.  April is
a cute buxom (fake) blonde.  Nothing extra-special about her, but I won't
mind seeing her again.

I'm kind of partial to blondes my self, but with these hot brunnetes
I didn't really miss them.  And frankly there are probably too many
bottle blondes in porn today, anyway.

Nikki Randall use to be one of my all-time favorites which is another
reason for choosing this video.  But I could barely recognize her in her
scenes.  The boob job doesn't help, and maybe she did something to her nose
as well.  She's still an attractive woman, but she no longer has a
distinctive look, that special something that made her stand out from the
crowd.  She still has the sexiest voice, they should have given her more
dialogue.

Selene does have that something extra-special about her.  She reminds me of
a cross between Melissa Melendez and Vanessa Chase.

Sofia Ferrari.  Dark-haired Italian.  Kind of cute.  Sexy body.  Cute accent.
But not really my cup of tea.

The men were all pretty good.  Yes, even Tony Montana.  Pike reminds me of
Adrian Paul, the guy who plays Duncan McCleod (sp?) in the Highlander
series.  But he's not very good with his lines as noted above.  Tony
Montana is a good choice for a sleazy gangter.  So is St. Croix.  Nick East
looks too young and cute to be a ganster.  Maybe he's supposed to be
babyface Nelson?


Random Comments:

No condoms.  Despite the implications, I definitely prefer it that way.

The jazzy sound track is a nice change of pace from the usual porn
background music.  The sex sounds, however, sound like they were
recorded in a steel tank.

Sets and costumes are pretty well done.  No anachonisms that I spotted.
But did they every really wear wide-striped suits like that?

The editing was pretty well done.  Plenty of full body shots.  Not too
much jumping around.  Some looping, but nothing annoying.


Summary:

Overall, I like it.  A pretty high quality production.  Good talent,
and best of all cable-ready editing was not highly evident.
