      Interesting erotic film with great story

      As the title says, Christy Canyon is the undisputed star of this film but there is more to it. Christy Canyon can actually act, and I'm not talking about her acting when positioned horizontally.

      To top that off, there actually is a plot and a story worth acting in. The plot is somewhat inspired by the mainstream film House of Games and it is a crime movie in its own right - a crime movie with real sex going on so it clearly is pornographic, which makes it what several erotica fans have been longing for: a good film with a good story and sex in it.

      To be honest, reading Peter North, Christy Canyon, TT Boy and Patricia Kennedy in the cast will hardly make you think of anything else than a porn flick, but this one has more to offer. The sex scenes included are great as well, which doesn't come as a surprise considering the lineup and even Joey Silvera's role is more than just more or less unintentionally funny.

      The plot isn't trivial and it needs attention to follow it, so jumping from scene to scene is not recommended, at least if you want to follow the story.

      Recommendation: if you are looking for an erotic film with a real story and real sex, this one is for you, but there is enough for fans of the performers, too and a scene with Peter North and Christy Canyon getting it on with one another is a sure bet. My judgment: Ten briefcases with three million dollar in it (out of ten possible).

      Canyon and Thomas--an unbeatable combo!

      If only all adult films could be like this. But all of them don't star the fabulous Christy Canyon and aren't directed by Paul Thomas. They're the best in the business.

      Christy was recently back from the first of several sabbaticals she took from moviemaking, and at age 24 looks fantastic. She hadn't lost a step as a performer and was a better actress than ever. The story here borrowed ideas from the mainstream movie 'House of Games' and the writer, Carl Esser, actually deserves some recognition. Rick Savage did a pretty good acting job in this flick but I think he was getting a little too old for the sex scene with Christy. On the other hand her turn with Peter North and T.T. Boy is dynamite. There are other attractive women here like Lois Ayers, Patricia Kennedy and Alice Springs, plus Danielle Rogers has a nice scene with the star. But this is Christy's show and it's for her fans.
