Heavier on humiliation than pain, the main problem with this vid is also its strength, embodied in Mistress Sabrina Belladonna. We don't doubt her technical skills one bit; her professionalism is a welcome change from the hand-a-pornchick-a-flogger-and-tell-her-to-act-bitchy female domination we at AVN see far too often.

Unfortunately, Belladonna's verbal skills aren't as impressive as the deft touch she displays in a good CBT segment. Her "scary" act grows tiresome, and her penchant for cackling like a cartoon villainness quickly becomes unbearable for any viewer who prefers a more realistic portrayal of evil.

The story has something to do with a dot-com millionaire who's been kidnapped, with his male pal either in on the action or trying to rescue him - it's hard to figure out who's in complicity with whom, and some painful acting doesn't help. Pretty blonde Sadie Belle shines in her small role, making a nipple-pierced guy strip down and lay across her lap, spanking his hairy ass until it turns a pleasing shade of crimson. Lots of underlying homoerotic suggestion here, as Belladonna ties the men together by their ankles, and later, wrists, so they're facing each other all sweaty and nude. Hot wax, beatings, and a fake "pissing" sequence are employed during the course of the tape.
