The porn spy genre gets a much-needed jolt with this ambitious undertaking from veteran director Jay Allan.
Allan, with the weight of Adam & Eve Pictures behind him, sets the tone early with the James Bond-inspired opening credit sequence and maintains that momentum with terrific cinematography and editing throughout the nearly three-hour picture.
Allan’s headlining star Eva Lovia delivers a glamorous, mysterious and impossibly sexy performance as Eva Sterling. Hand-picked by Allan to be his master spy, Lovia proves to be irresistible as the elite operative attempting to crack a cyber crime with international implications.
It’s up to Eva to retrieve a stolen encrypted thumb drive by any means necessary, so naturally she calls the best—secret Agent Kessler (Mick Blue), a sharp-dressing lady-killer who's as slick in the bedroom as he is chasing criminals.
It turns out this assignment calls for him to track down a beautiful hacker named Ozone, played by none other than blonde stunner Elsa Jean. With Eva and Kessler on the case, it’s only a matter of time before a showdown with the elusive Ozone.
But thankfully for fans, Allan did not forget what we came here for, as he injects generous helpings of hardcore sex into the narrative. For starters, Eva and Kessler have no problem mixing business with pleasure and we see why Miss Lovia and Mr. Blue are two of the most bankable performers in porn today in their sizzling coupling.
The buffet of visuals reaches dramatic levels when Kessler follows Ozone’s lover (Honey Gold) into the LA subway and through the streets of Chinatown. It’s here when we see Allan and his sharp-shooting brother Jeff—who runs the second camera—dazzle with voyeuristic shots of Mick walking down Honey. This movie is beautiful to watch with its bursts of local color that come alive with dreamy footage of the downtown LA cityscape at night.
Meanwhile, the relative porn newcomer Gold is impossible to take your eyes off of when she’s on the screen. It’s no wonder why Allan lets Mick’s character seduce her in another mouth-watering scene.
But let’s not forget about Eva’s girl/girl encounter with her other lover, the gorgeous and underrated, Alex Harper, in front of a roaring fire. It’s hard to not feel the effects of the sensational eye candy on display here as the leggy Harper succumbs to curvy Eva’s charms. That’s not to mention Elsa’s scalding hookup with Honey that begins in the back of a limo. By the time we get to the climactic twist, Allan & Co. have us reeled in and wanting more.
Shot in widescreen to allow the story to breathe, Allan left nothing to chance with the production design, capturing his sex scenes at luxurious locations. He also puts on a master’s class in lighting with his subtle touches—most of the movie takes place in the shadows. We also would be remiss to not point to the original musical score that strikes just the right chord for the tension of the moment.
We would love to see more features like this from Eva, Elsa, Honey and Jay Allan, who proves he is one of adult’s smoothest stylists.
