Men of Odyssey responsible for some of gay porn’s great features returns to the industry after closing in 2003 with this new title from acclaimed director Jim Steel. The result is a strong yet flawed return, with five scenes of friends having fun around the beach. The strengths lie in two scenes the opener with pros Brad Benton and Cole Ryan, who really know how to put on a show and show off some great wood. Even better is watching cute-as-hell Jesse Santana slurp up Barrett Long’s huge cock, and then stay stiff as he gets a nice pounding with some nice verbal exchanges thrown in. It’s also nice to see the amazing, sculpted body and cock of Romario, who gets two scenes although some of his co-stars can’t stay hard for long (one implied cumshot is questionable), and his odd scene with Luca Alexander suddenly ends after 30 seconds of fucking, shifting to Romario jacking off alone. More abrupt edits and some odd angles don’t help, and the finale is disappointing. Still, there’s more here to like than not.

RETAILING: Re-launched quality label should get a lot of fans.
