Striptease opens with a quality that rivals R-rated features, with hitmen Steven St. Croix and Jake Williams giving some poor slob a pool dunking because he won't pay his gambling debts.  Unfortunately, the flick loses a bit of its lustre in the meandering story, but still delivers plenty of heat in its seven sex scenes, most of which are anal.

Highlights include an on-stage g/g between Kim Kitaine and Lisa Lennox that turns into an anal threesome as Vince Vouyer joins; Ariana's anal three-way with St. Croix and Williams; and hooker Melissa Hill's short fuck with Tony Martino.  The blow-off has St. Croix giving Nici a multi-positional hosing (including horsie and mish anal) before cumming on her inviting pussy.

Production values are excellent throughout, and the cool jazz soundtrack certainly adds to the enjoyment.  However, sometimes-wooden acting, and lack of creativity in sex scenes, bring down the rating.  Nici on the box, however, should move this off store shelves quickly.
