Sinners' Dinner

Dick Bush and his favorite protagonist Danny D go a bit arthouse in this ambitious approach to a 4-handed drama, not emerging with "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" but rather a complicated sex and violence fantasy.

Divided into two parts by backer Digital Playground for website use, it's simply a dinner party for two couples. But Danny D and Sienna Day have lustful as well as murderous thoughts, deftly edited into the otherwise serene chit-chat around the table.

In another more tolerant world director Dick Bush might have emerged as a stylish action movie director in the vein of a Walter Hill or even John Woo, but his expertise in this arena means that the violent but brief scenes interjected are far more realistic and effective than suggestions of violence in porn these days - as he seems not to fear censorship that limits his peers in this area.

But of course it is the XXX content that dominates here, as Danny D f*cks his wife Alessandra Jane or seemingly in fantasy humps MILF Sienna Day, latter married to a nonentity played by "Relfy". No sex here for poor Relfy, as Danny customarily hogs the ladies for himself.

Fans will notice that Mr. D is looking quite anorexic these days, approximating a 90-pound weakling cliche, but still carrying a huge cock. At one point DD's typically copious cum shot all over Sienna's face is repeated in all its drippy glory a second time in slow motion by Bush -more grindhouse than arthouse in technique.

I'm fairly certain that fans would prefer a no-edit, boring documentary approach to a sex scene as that is what gonzo filmmakers deliver, but Bush dares to be different here, an experiment unlikely to be repeated, as the time frame and line between fantasy and reality in "Sinners' Dinner" is rather hard to follow.
