Synopsis

Missy\'s ass, and other sundry production values, are the key.

Reviews

Former AVN Best New Starlet and major fan sensation Missy proves she still has the chops to attack a rather clichéd role with gusto, playing a street 'ho who rises to the top of the elite escort service. From a brief knob-gobbling session in the front seat of Steve Drake's car, to a sensual threeway with upper-crust clients Stephanie Swift and Mickey G., Missy spreads legs and lips with equal fervor. (It's up to Shayla to spread buns in a brief but hot anal sequence with the director/performer.)

Armstrong, who has a strong visual design sense (recall Conquest), makes the most of his own story. It's a familiar tale which pits against each other three men vying for Missy's attention: her former lowlife pimp Marcus, her current escort boss Savage, and her nutso ex-boyfriend, Morgan. Waving their guns provocatively like some kind of initiation test for Freudian-punks, the guys play an escalating game of macho one-upsmanship... with deadly results.

Along the way, Savage and Marcus display the typical pimp's aversion to intimacy by basically balling the supporting cast. While these trysts are completely superfluous, they're all picture-perfect examples of how to graft gratuitous nookie onto a wafer-thin plot —and make it work.

A best supporting actor pre-nom performance by Morgan is also worth a look.
