Man Action is solid meat-and-potatoes porn from director Chris Ward - well known among kink aficionados - and although it doesn't quite have the erotic kick of his past flicks, it does boast a sexy cast of prime studs. Technical production is fine, although the bedrooms and other sets are quite familiar.
The video opens with most of the cast sitting at an outdoor cafe in the Castro, chatting and goofing on each other. The first scene pairs off hunky Robert Black with Buck Phillips. Both guys are pros who know how to perform for the camera, and it's enjoyable, if nothing new.
Hunkalicious Marcus Iron and Mark Evrett are featured in scene two and offer up the best sex in the video. Although Iron could get a rise out of a marble statue, he and Evrett share a crackling chemistry; their blow jobs demonstrate how good oral can (and should) be, as too often it gets the short end of the stick in porn flicks. And of course, Iron's gentle demeanor drops away when he plows a bottom as hungry as Evrett. Good stuff.
The final two scenes are anchored by Tuck Johnson, one of my favorite current performers. 2001 was a banner year for Johnson, and his work here is no exception. Johnson performs with an erotic intensity that I admire, and he seems comfortable in any sexual situation. He and Sam Dixon are paired off for a sweetly romantic encounter, but I prefer his fantastically piggy side, which comes out in the final three-way with Iron and Bryce Pierce. Johnson delivers a fantastic suck job to Iron and buries his face in Iron's delectable ass for some grade-A rimming.
Although Man Action is less polished than Falcon fans have come to expect, and the faces are all familiar, any opportunity to catch Marcus Iron and Tuck Johnson munching on each other, with Bryce Pierce in the middle, is fine in my book.
