Featured review
Very boring, out-of-ideas porn
Jacky St. James' meteoric rise as a porn auteur seems to have peaked and entered its phase of steep decline, as evidenced by "Restraint". No, I won't be coughing up or wasting time on its instant followup with digit 2 added - the cupboard is already bare.
What Ms. St. James has done is half-heartedly directed another 4 vignettes virtually identical in content and casting with her dozens of other previous videos, and simply added a blindfold here, a pair of handcuffs there to pass the result off as fresh. It's so close to generic gonzo that I've lost interest.
Two of the vignettes operate on virtually the same premise: Presley Hart and Ryan McLane try to spice up their relationship on their third anniversary by using a blindfold. After some dumb slapstick action, Ashlyn Molloy agrees to the same with partner Logan Pierce, and handcuffs are briefly thrown into the mix. Ho- hum.
Chad White goes one step further with Dahlia Sky, namedropping full sensory deprivation, but the result is interchangeable with the other couples' sex. Odd man out is Xander Corvus who is pure chauvinist pig in his more violent encounter with lover Sara Luvv. Luvv claims in the Behind the Scenes short subject to have squirted in ecstasy but I didn't see any evidence of this.
A gimmick is a gimmick, and that's all this not-even-role-playing amounts to. Riding the gravy train, Jacky's version of BDSM lite this time is so flat it even makes the Hollywood shaggy-dog blockbuster "50 Shades" look good by comparison.
