Featured review
Serious effort, but deficient
Bree Mills and Craven Moorehead try to elevate their popular Pure Taboo series with this pair of intense dramas that resemble one-act plays, only with the usual endless XXX payoff. As usual, story development is a weak link.
First up is a vignette titled "Balance of Power", a confrontation between political office holder Angela White and a creepy blackmailer played by new bald stud in Chatsworth, Jac Wild.
He's been getting payments from her to hide her embezzling activity, and drops in her office to demand sex this time. Angela complies and that's about it, the scene's non-ending quite a letdown.
Clearly Mills & Craven think the set-up plus hot sex is enough for their web subscribers and from a business model point-of-view they're probably right. But given the fine acting by both players it's a shame that they went nowhere with this premise except to XXX territory. And making matters worse, the segment climaxes with a very fake money shot (cut away to a close-up of AW's bountiful breasts covered in spunk), as apparently Zac wasn't able to deliver.
Supporting vignette is a bit better, a two-hander starring Whitney Wright as a college newspaper reporter landing an exclusive interview with a notorious alleged murderer played by Michael Vegas. He grants her an audience believing she will sympathetically finally disseminate his point-of-view re: his innocence.
Acting is quite good and the scene is both suspenseful and riveting, with a good twist concerning the reporter's motivation. It has a nice final shot adding some ambiguity to the story, but except for the twist doesn't develop the story fully.
Titled "Face to Face", this Vegas/Wright vignette would make an interesting (if further developed and explicit sex excised) mainstream vehicle for an actor like Christian Slater, paired with some young promising actress. Slater could easily inject the personality and idiosyncrasy lacking in Vegas's earnest but one-note performance.
