It’s remarkable how quickly Steve Cruz and Leif Gobo have made their mark as directors, their stylish flair uncommon for those so new to the craft. Their films are usually dark, with a story structure (not so much a linear plot and heavy script) brought to life through intense themes and visuals.

Their latest is no exception, as prisoners in a mysterious compound are at the sexual mercy of their masked captors. An artful quality invigorates the action, with erotic images bridging the sex scenes (including a hot sequence with a bound Alessio Romero being teased with a light bulb).

Leather, jockstraps, toys and bondage fill the film, and the cast is excellent—the finale is an all-star effort, with Tyler Saint, Tristan Jaxx and Derrek Diamond taking turns on Johnny Gunn’s holes (a scene that ends with a simple yet effective shot of Diamond and Saint licking Jaxx’s nipples as he jacks off).

The pic also starts with an intriguing sequence—a masked stranger fucks prisoners Samuel Colt and Sean Everett with dildos before leaving the two alone to find comfort in each other. Hairy Tom Wolfe—channeling a young Parker Williams—fucks Romero, while a bound Draven Torres is saved (or is he?) by beefy Roman Wright. Cruz and Gobo have a little growing to do  from the technical side of filming some sex shots, but their solid basics—coupled with their mature vision—hints at a long career behind the lens.
