You don't have to be into wearing camouflage pants to enjoy this flick. You don't even have to want to go to war with Iraq. Nope, all you really have to be into is hot sex between men who are heart-stoppingly good-looking. And if you are into camouflage and buzz-cuts, well, so much the better. Director Hervé Handsome has created a military bonanza with "Commandos," which has beautiful videography, well-paced editing, and the main event, the sex, is incredibly hot.
In the first scene, young stud Patrick Kacer is patrolling a rooftop with a fellow soldier, sinewy stud Michael Sarlo. Kacer puts down his rifle for a hot make-out session with Sarlo, which leads to erections buried under the camo. Sarlo hauls Kacer's uncut meat, sucking it noisily as it protrudes through the young hunk's fly. In no time, Kacer's camos are down around his ankles and Sarlo licks the soldier's sweaty balls. The amazing thing about this scene is that as it continues, and that means Kacer bending Sarlo over and slamming his dick deep into Sarlo's asshole, they remain on the rooftop in full view of several buildings. Watching Kacer's big, thick cock disappear into the older stud's hole is a major turn-on. When the studs change positions, and Sarlo sits on the young stud's cock, it is also apparent that the two are so into the action, they haven't had time to take off their pants and boots, Sarlo has to free one of his legs so that he can straddle Kacer. There is an incredible shot of penetration when the guys change position again, and Kacer slides into Sarlo's hole as they lie side by side. They then stand, and Kacer fucks Sarlo from behind until Sarlo can hold off no longer (he's been jerking his cock the whole time) and shoots his load all over some camouflage cargo netting. Then Sarlo and Kacer share a tender kiss before Kacer unloads all over Sarlo's shoulder.
Imagine being commander of a squadron of young, virile soldiers, and having your pick of them for after-hours fun. That privilege belongs to leader Zoltan Sapka, who uses it to full advantage, even if his selection methods are questionable.
His lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you look at it) choice for playmate is hot Fred Fele, who gets butted in the belly with Sapka's rifle, marked for later plundering. Fele falls to his knees, gagging, but in no time he's gagging on cock, with Sapka face-fucking him for all he's worth. A fellow soldier, hunky Luis Badog, joins the action, getting his turn with Fele's mouth. Badog and Sapka both have gorgeous upper bodies, well muscled pecs capped off with tasty looking nipples, but the edge has to go to Sapka, whose peaks stand out as he slides his dick into Fele's ready ass from behind. Fele orally services Badog, who perches on a Jeep to give Fele easy access to his cock. Then Fele sits on Sapka's dick as Badog sucks his cock. Badog then fucks Fele doggy-style while Fele sucks Sapka. Sapka is again fucking Fele in the finale, with Badog's dick dangling into his mouth from above. Fele shoots his load, which lands on his lower belly, then as the sounds of a plane flying overhead (a fighter jet, perhaps?) drown out the moans and groans, Sapka spurts, adding his cum to Fele's sweaty torso. Finally, grunting mightily, Badog loses it, his cum landing on Fele.
In another guard duty scene, where nothing much seems to be happening (apparently guard duty involves a lot of downtime), hunky Daniel Magam stokes the fires in some oil drums. He then stokes a different kind of fire in his two compadrés, the café-au-lait-skinned Blake Vacakol and cute and boyish Brandon Babos. Magam manhandles Babos through his uniform, waking the stud up, as Vacakol arises from his own nap. Vacakol joins in the action, kissing Magam passionately and helping the hunk get undressed. Then the three get heated up by kissing and caressing each other's bodies. Babos sucks Vacakol's huge uncut dick while Magam rims his very hairy hole. Then Magam fucks Babos, whose hole is so wet and shiny with lube and spit that it gleams. Then Babos sits on Magam, who pistons him from below as Vacakol feeds his dark meat to the young stud. Handsome includes lots of close-up shots of Babos' well-trained hole getting plowed in both scenes. Then Babos and Magam fall into a 69, with Babos on top, and Vacakol fucks Babos from behind while Babos greedily sucks Magam's dick. In the finale, both Magam and Vacakol blow huge loads all over Babos' back, then Babos stands and delivers an eruptive load that flies out of his dick, and the other two studs stroke his body and lick his nipples, and the fire continues to crackle away in the background.
In the next scene, two more studs are experiencing ennui, and decide to take the opportunity to get to know each other intimately. Bulky stud Tyler Savas is sitting on a windowsill when muscular buddy Luke Vador gets a taste of his dick. Vador grabs onto Savas' pec as he sucks his buddy. Then Savas kisses Vador before going down on his knees and savoring Vador's uncut piece. Savas braces himself against the windowsill while Vador slam-fucks him from behind. Then, in complete view of anyone who might be walking by, Savas reclines on the wide sill and Vador fucks him missionary-style. The studs are in the side-by-side position on the floor, Savas getting fucked by Vador, when Savas cums, shooting a stream of white stuff that lands on his belly while Vador is still buried deep in his ass. Then Vador pulls out, stands, and squats over Savas as Savas licks his balls while he strokes to orgasm.
In the last scene, Luke Jarkal, who easily has the most buff chest of any other guy in the video, Thierry Golyo, Gabriel Galad and Luis Landzsa are cleaning their rifles, while one whistles "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." It seems like a non sequitur, but maybe it's some kind of military signal for "Let's get naked and fuck," since that is what happens next. The four quickly split up in side-by-side blowjobs, and then they trade partners and sample what's on the other side. Golyo drops his pants as he sucks Galad, and Landzsa rims and finger-fucks the young stud. Galad, meanwhile, tries his best to swallow Jarkal's cock whole. Landzsa then fucks the hole he has prepared so well with his fingers and tongue, and the action gets hotter. Then Golyo stands and sits on Galad's cock, and Landzsa takes turns sucking Golyo and Jarkal. Golyo takes on Jarkal next, opening up for the stud's big dick from behind, and from the sounds he makes, it obviously feels wonderful. Meanwhile, Landzsa sucks Galad. Then the four get into an amazing position, with Landzsa and Golyo 69-ing while Jarkal takes Golyo from behind and Galad fucks Golyo's mouth. The finale is a major release of cum from all four studs, particularly from Galad, who cums buckets.

A VHS + DVD Review by Martin Cox
Once again, Eastern-European director Herve Handsome has zeroed in on a situation where a group of testosterone-charged, super-macho, apparently straight men find themselves without women but have no trouble whatsoever in making do with the male flesh at hand. This time, it's the military again - a group of recruits on maneuvers, playing war games (or is it a real war?) in a battle-devastated series of locations that suggest Bosnia or the like. The production is called Commandos , and although it covers a lot of familiar territory that this director has traveled before, there are enough exciting new recruits on hand to make it seem more fresh than it actually is.
Unfortunately, the weakest scene in the production is the first, a duet between a callow inductee (the very slim Patrick Kacer) and a savvy veteran (the balding Michael Sarlo). Kacer, obviously a newcomer to filmmaking (and to male/male sex, we suspect), is a tense little piece of trade determined to do his best, and in spite of his uneasiness, he manages to get hard and get off.
The scene is set on a rooftop where he is standing sentry duty while his buddy Sarlo takes some down time. When it is time to change shifts, they both act on their simmering desires. Tentative touching leads to groping, kissing, stripping out of their cammies and, eventually, Sarlo going down on the kid. The older man clearly knows what to do with a cock, and he sets about his tasks with considerable skill. Kacer mostly watches in frozen amazement but does not reciprocate. In time, he fucks his fellow dogface in three positions with all the obedience of a dutiful foot soldier. You can almost hear the novice performer asking himself, "Am I really doing this?"
By contrast, the second scene practically burns up the pavement of an open road where it occurs. On and around a Jeep, an officer (veteran Zoltan Sapka) works over a tall, lanky brunet (Fred Fele) while his buddy, an eager, musclebound recruit (Luis Badog), watches and then joins in. Since Sapka is an overused, familiar face, the scene belongs to the other two. Fele is a dashing power bottom, kissing, sucking both the others and effortlessly giving up his chiseled butt to them. He is a voracious service man whose cocksucking is captured in some of the best videography of the film, and he takes it up the ass with more enthusiasm than most of the play-for-pay Eastern Europeans.
Badog, who reminds us of his fellow Hungarian, Jonathan Collins, is slow to join in, but once he does, he finds the action more to his satisfaction than he suspected, or so it seems. He kisses with passion and wraps Fele's cock in his fist and mouth as if determined to bring him off. Then he crawls into the saddle and gives it his all. (You might want to freeze frame the fleeting glimpses of Badog's own enticing pucker. Alas, here it is not put to use.) A trio of copious money shots conclude the scene.
The third vignette is the high point of the production, a roiling threesome in a deserted building kept warm by bonfires in a couple of oil drums. Dark-haired, super-butch Daniel Magam is standing guard duty as pretty-boy Brandon Babos and mocha-skinned Blake Vacakol sleep. Magam first stokes the fires in the oil drums, then tends to the blaze within. He fondles Babos, who quickly awakens and eagerly reciprocates in a friendly bout of heavy kissing and petting that is palpably believable. Soon, Vacakol awakens and joins them. All seem to be enjoying the foreplay so much that no one is in any hurry to strip down, but eventually they do, and Babos, grinning happily, gulps down one and then the other. Magam's sights, though, are on Babos's cute little bubblebutt, and he dives in to swab its hairy hole with inspired tongue action.
The three fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, especially when Babos and Magam 69 as Vacakol climbs aboard Babos. All three detonate impressive money shots, but you'll want to hit replay for the propulsive geyser of cum Babos fires off. This scene would make a conscientious objector want to enlist - it's that good.
"Ways to Alleviate the Boredom of War" seems to be the threnody of the film, for in the next scene two restless recruits (brunet Tyler Savas and pumped-up Luke Vador) at the window of a war-torn building soon turn to each other to pass the time.
Surprisingly, after a bit of kissing and tit-play, Vador (who has Tough Top written all over him) is the first to go down. Savas has some erection maintenance problems throughout and is not nearly as aggressive an oralist as Vador, but when it comes time for the fucking, he takes it like a man. A good thing, too, for Vador is both a forceful and an inventive fucker who slams into him in four different positions, including one while they are poised on the windowsill. Best of all, Vador straddles Savas' head to have his balls chewed while exploding in a noisy splatter shot.
The concluding segment finds a quartet of the commandos (fair-haired Luis Landzsa, tradey top Luke Jarkal, the ubiquitous Thierry Golyo and the youthful Gabriel Galad, who was so fine in Medic Men) burnishing their rifles. All have other weapons to polish, and Golyo starts things off by groping Jarkal. Soon, he is devouring his barely responsive pal, and Galad has moved over to work on Landzsa.
The permutations of the scene are varied and many - every one but Jarkal gets a taste of everyone else - and Landzsa in particular seems a cock connoisseur. Golyo is his usual, noisy self, and Galad delivers the most propulsive money shot of the scene. (Ah, youth!) The scene flows naturally, and the onscreen transitions from position to position proceed very naturally, so that one can believe he is watching people have real sex instead of glimpsing scenes from a film shoot.
Commandos , then, is a mixed bag. With such notable exceptions as Magum, Fele, Babos and Jarkal, the cast is not as interesting as Handsome usually assembles and the sexual choreography less inventive than usual. The videography, except for the overexposed first scene, is as vibrant as we have come to expect, and the two-hour running time makes for an intermittently arousing evening with military men in heat.
