Money

The new "Mr. Wicked", doing double duty as star and director for Wicked Pictures the way Brad Armstrong did for decades, Seth Gamble returns to the glossy all-sex format of his debut helming feature "The Red Room" with this set of four separate vignettes titled "Money". '

It runs a whopping 165 minutes long, each segment delivering the expected half-hour-plus dollop of non-stop XXX content. Attractive visuals and femme styling is applied to the largely pantomime set-up scenes.

A new-look Ivy Wolfe stars in the opening scene titled "Dearly Departed" as a widow who masturbates and then f*cks Seth Gamble. She has fake-looking blonde hair, fake-looking new boobs and a worked-on face, making for an attractive babe. Since director Gamble is working in a glamorous gonzo style reminiscent of Kayden Kross, it's a bit unsettling that Ivy also has near-identical pointy nipples, just like Kayden.

POV-camera technique is used in Vanna Bardot's vignette titled "Speak Easy to Me". She's shown running a bar/lounge, with a couple of uncredited extras there, when Gamble arrives, shows his police badge and procedes to hump her. It's sexy and pointless.

Similarly, we have "Chop Shop", with one hot Kenzie Marie working on fixing up a car, presumably a stolen one. Gamble drives in with a vintage muscle car and watches her masturbate before having sex with her. Just a lengthy cliche, in porn's familiar "sex on the car hood" genre.

Major scene living up to the title Money is "Knock, Knock", in which a pair of babes Anna Claire Clouds and Violet Starr knock on Seth's door, and he lets them come in out of the rain. They steal clothing and a bag full of money out of a bedroom closet, deface a framed photograph of Seth's wife (in-joke has Kenna James' snapshot as the missing character) and then indulge in lesbian sex.

This scene has dialogue, but no credibility in terms of story or characterization, as Seth catches them misbehaving and is angry but instantly succumbs to their offer of a threesome. The need to deliver XXX action, and plenty of it, is on the level of a Brazzers or Reality Kings scene.
