As one of Rocco Siffredi's resident henchmen in various tushy-trouncing productions, Nacho Vidal has been studying at the feet of one of the planet's great pornographers. Rocco is, by popular consensus and to paraphrase the Vandals, a frickin' genius, and Vidal shows signs of having picked up a trick or two while on attendance upon the master. The opening tussle here – in which Vidal dick stomps ace Czech hellion Ellen's mouthwatering lower anatomy – is a scorcher, and is spiked with all the little extras we've come to associate with the very best Euro-porn, which is to say Euro-porn with Siffredi's fingerprints on it.

It's a little disappointing, then, when the rest of the action here is merely good rather than mind-blowing. Vidal proves he has what it takes to turn out lava-hot smut, but he has yet to find his own voice and, more importantly, to learn how to maintain the wicked energy he conjures in this volume's lead-off scene. Still, this is a solid, promising debut.
