Review:

Scene 4 - other=bondage

The movie starts out with Krystal standing at her window catching a view of Brittney Skye and Mickey G. enjoying an early morning romp on the balcony below. Mickey sees Krystal and that gets her so excited that she grabs a vibrator to help her enjoy the show. Krystal heads to work, at the sex shop, and with her libido in full drive she daydreams about boffing a customer, Jay Ashley, right there in the store. After a hard day's work, Krystal goes home to relax, but someone sneaks into her house and slips something into her iced tea. Taking a drink, Krystal passes out and now the real fun begins. A series of sexual episodes follow with Krystal as the voyeur and center of the action, with chains, blindfolds and masks involved. In the end, we find out that these adventures weren't a drug induced dream but a series of set-ups planned by Mickey for their first date.

I was really enjoying this movie until I got to the last minute of it. Lame ending! It took all the momentum out the story. The directing, and production were very good, the costumes were extremely hot and the very limited dialogue was quite effective, until the final scene. The editing could have been better, with more full-scene shots and fewer extreme close-ups. I would have thought that with the amount of effort put into this production the ending wouldn't have been so weak, but that's a big problem with a lot of adult films...they can't figure out how to end them. Maybe this one shouldn't have ended. Pleasure could have made at least three more movies based on Krystal's over-active imagination.

The fetish gear fan and serious stroker will find a lot to like in this flick. Krystal Steal looks hot, though she is a bit reserved in her performances. Brittney Skye, Nikita Denise and Lezley Zen (three of my favorites) all turn in high energy performances that merit rewinding for another look.

The ending left such a bad taste in my mouth that I almost dropped the rating for this title, but, fair is fair, and it is only one minute and I really did enjoy the rest of the flick.

The DVD extras include chapter starts, sub chapter starts, a slide show with thirty pics, fourteen minutes of behind-the-scenes footage, bios (actually twenty questions) for each girl, Pleasure's web address, phone sex ads, trailers for nine Pleasure movies and a Pop Shot icon that you can place on the screen and click at any time to go straight to the cum shot. It's the same extras package that Pleasure uses for all their DVDs, even the questions in the bios are the same.

PT says 4, but only if you don't watch the final minute.
