With a transformative performance from Tommy Pistol and the return to features of AVN Hall of Fame baddie Riley Reid, Ricky Greenwood’s Strip is a winner for Dorcel. 

Pistol, channeling Uncut Gems’ Howard Ratner or maybe The Penguin’s Oswald Cobb, needs $150k to pay off his loan shark debts and keep control over the Lucky Hearts Club, a past-its-prime gentlemen’s lounge whose saving grace is its roster of gorgeous dancers.

Henchmen Charles Dera and Christian Clay show up at the club to collect, forcing him to scramble for the cash. He’s got two hours, and limited options—one of which is to sell to a shadow investor for $200k. He scoffs but agrees if they kick in an extra $50k. They decline, aware of his desperation. When Reid, his long-trusted bottom bitch, encourages him to sell, he knows something is wrong. “You trying to help me looks a lot like you trying to help your fucking self,” he snarls. 

Pistol, sporting a bald cap with a combover and gold-capped teeth, is a man on tilt, all anguish and false hope, and the performance makes you feel every second of it. He’s a piece of shit—robbing his ex (Ameena Green) and her roommate (Scarlett Alexis) after fucking them—but you still root for him to beat the clock and make things right later. Back after a three-year hiatus from studio features, Reid is an absolute treat—nailing her dramatic scenes and delivering a standout all-girl three-way with Gizelle Blanco and Jayden Cole, whose crotch she wears on her face like a feedbag.

Elsewhere, Kenna James and Anna Claire Clouds buy Pistol some time, with James going airtight with three businessmen until they make it rain on her face and chest, and Clouds giving up her asshole to Clay and Dera. Movie heavy Isiah Maxwell and his security detail, Seth Gamble, join dancers Blake Blossom, Clara Mia, Nicole Doshi and Nicole Vaunt on stage for a frenzied all-out orgy.
