Coral Sands owes boss Jewell Marceau money, and Marceau will take it out in trade. The camerawork is OK but the sound quality is poor. There's not enough ambient sound absorption for such a large cavernous room. The action is also weighed down by overly long scenes of expositional dialogue. The overall effect is one of non-bondage performers trying their hand at a bondage vid.

Marceau is not very convincing as a dominating mistress, and while Sands looks good in rope, ball gag and straps writhing on the floor, her high-pitched protestations eventual wear thin on the ear. Things became most unbelievable when Marceau allows Sands to bind her and work her over with a vibrator. It looks OK, but doesn't ring true.

Retailing: Your bondage-literate aficionados will see through this ruse.
