With the recent announcements by many major porn studios of cutting back on production schedules, holiday stockings could likely be filled with back-to-basics products like this one from South Beach Video. While the "prison" setting is mostly a state of mind - someone's condo perhaps - fans of unshaven daddies and tough-talking trade types will find lots to appreciate.
Officer Drew Larson finds prisoner Mike Vista hiding out in the "prison" laundry room, which looks very similar to the laundry room of an apartment building I used to live in. You can even hear an actual load of laundry during the scene. So HBO's Oz it's not. What matters here is experience - Vista has made more than 40 videos in the past four years. Once the music starts, Vista's beefy and furry prisoner is the one in charge as he sucks on Larson's adequate roddage. Larson has a smooth, shaved tummy but a furry chest, so the "well-groomed" contrast is an interesting visual here. Vista proves he knows how to give and take as Larson works Vista's hole with his tongue, then his rod. Vista is definitely a seasoned performer, complete with dirty dialog, as Larson put his ass through the wringer and they both pop some jizz rockets.
Mark Cummings and David Edge play bored prison guards in the next scene. Dialog ranges along the lines of Edge telling Cummings, "Nice nightstick you have there, sir," with Cummings replying, "I've used it on a few beats." At 9.5" by 7" cut, it is an impressive stick at that. Apparently not impressive enough to keep Edge hard during this scene. But both men have a gritty realness to them, not real in the sense that I believe they are prison guards, just a casual manliness that I admire. There's a great shot of Cummings' dick from below, plowing Edge's beefy ass.
I've seen John Nagel in other South Beach videos before, and he always seems to have those sunglasses on. He's got a great body and can fuck up a storm but really comes across as old school porn trade. Fur fans will relish (worship?) Greg McCord's chest carpet. About halfway through the fuck, Rick Morgan sort of wanders into the scene. Morgan gives the impression that maybe he won some "be a pornstar for a day" contest, as he doesn't seem to mesh with the tone of the other guys in the video. While I have nothing against older actors, it's rare to see sagging "man boobs" in mainstream gay porn. McCord is the most verbal of the bunch and demands what he can from Morgan, who remains clothed, even while fucking McCord. McCord's urgent and vocal "spray" shot ends the scene on a high note!
The movie winds down rather quickly, with slimy bad boy Randy Rodd making the most of Markos Seravano's beer-can thick but mostly limp cock. Like Nagel, Servano keeps his sunglasses on and doesn't really get into the scene, even as he's bouncing his forehead off of Rodd's nicely rippled tummy. Most of the scene plays like a taffy pull at a county fair, but Servano does blow a nice wad on his own hairy chest and tummy. Rodd follows suit with his own cream stream.
