Reviews

Beautiful all-girl kink with the stank-a-real-queer risin' from it like the yeasty scent of sourdough wafting out of San Francisco, Nailed! concerns sullen-looking, tight-bodied Leda, whose sexy spell is slightly undercut by her hardcore poker face. Leda, don 'tcha know, has been playing around without the permission of her Mistress, Teutonic giantdoll Sonja Blaze, astonishing to look at in her black leather catsuit and chain link headdress but ultimately unconvincing as the punishment-inclined Domme.

Leda's final infraction involves drop-dead gorgeous DeVilla. Mistress Sonja just happens to have a tape of the evidence. One of the most successful scene-switchback setups in recent memory unspools, with tight editing serving to further the action rather than make a hash of two decent scenes by cutting away right as momentum gains, as so many videos relying on this technique are wont to do. Prenom for Best Editing -- Video.

In fact, the whole offering is airtight in terms of aesthetics. Pre-nom for Best Art Direction -- Video: Obvious care and attention to detail was given to sets, costumes, make-up, lighting, music (pre-nom), graphics and ambiance; the general atmosphere is spare, post-techno and arty, and the talent is on the exotic side of pretty, encompassing in three performers a spectrum of body types and beauty the viewer wouldn't experience in, for instance, 100 Holliday tapes. Intricate bondage, complicated equipment, surgical implements, smoking, attention to shoes and some nice knife play pretty up the picture. This all has something to do with the problem.

Though recommended to stock for the above reasons, this video lacks heat and real commitment, and all the facy suspension work in the world won't make up for it. Modelette DeVille seems particularly unmoved by the goings-on (not quite unforgivable in a ravishing sub, but close) and something about the set of Leda's mouth as she submits herself to Mistress Sonja's occasionally uncertain parading around suggests she knows she could do it better.
