Wooden performances and only once-in-a-while hot sex are the rules of the game in this private eye vid that reveals its little mysteries too little and too late. By the time P.I. Tony Tedeschi is at Mr. Big's (Steve Drake) house, watching him screw his girl­friend Tricia Yen, we really don't care that it was Drake's wife (Asia Carrera) that hired (and fucked) Tedeschi, nor that it was Drake who had Tedeschi's partner killed. We just want to watch cute little Tricia get fucked in multiple positions — reverse cowgirl's the longest — on the lawn by the pool, and take a faceful of goo at the finish.

Along the way, dance club hostesses Christine West, Isis Nile and Dominique Bouche (called "Douche" by some unFrenchmanlike person in the credits) get it on with various partners. Look for some finger probing of Isis and Christine, while Dominique does the 69 with "missing girlfriend" Dyanna Lauren. The sex is only sometimes hot, but the Cash Markman script drags. That, plus the excellent camerawork, but low-volume sound, place this vid in the center of the pack. Dyanna on the box will draw customer attention, however, so display prominently.
