Control #4

There are several good things about Control 4 - beautiful women, a scene that is directed and edited extraordinarily well, sexy uses of silence, and decently hot sex bookending flashes of very hot sex. Do not, however, look for much in the way of "control" play. Or, more to the point, control play above and beyond what you would find in any other porn flick. Sure, there are collars and cuffs, some leash walking and harsh words, but overall these are simply trappings and I don't believe for a moment that anyone is exerting dominance. It's a shame because the first Control film had one of the best B&D scenes I've ever seen in mainstream (i.e. non-specialty) porn and I'd hoped Robby D. would continue and expand that trend. This doesn't mean the performances are bunk. There are several worthwhile scenes, and the bumpers with Jaime Lynn have a sexy simplicity. But for a movie called "Control" I expected more…control.

Scene 1: [Brianna Beach], [Chris Charming]

Brianna, a wide-smiling and tanned blonde with a pert butt and small breasts, spends a long time stripping and teasing the camera in silence, giving us a tour of her taut body. As a reward she's given the large cock of Chris Charming to suck, which she does admirably, using both hands to make up for being born with a mouth that isn't nine inches deep. After many minutes Brianna opts for doggy-style to get the meat inside her. She encourages him with dirty talk and moaning (though, just a quick tip, gasping "I feel like I'm giving birth" isn't the most erotic line to spill during sex). Brianna is energetic, giving a believable performance as she buries the shaft in cowgirl. It's a nice view too, both forward and reverse. The theme for this scene is that his big cock is too much for her. Brianna sells it well without making it about pain. Not bad, but here's where I start to ask, where's the "Control?"

Scene 2: [Jaime Lynn]

Oh here it is. Jaime Lynn, who has a spectacular rack, is wandering blindfolded as the cameraman's hand brushes and gropes her here and there. It's a neat piece, especially when she's put on her knees and holds her mouth open in a cock-sucking "O."

Scene 3: [Sasha Grey], Jerry, [Scott Nails]

Sasha's a brunette with a collar and a metal mask on as she tag-sucks her cock-jocks. Spit flows and cheek-popping abounds as the pale, petite, pixie-faced peach enthusiastically plies her trade. It's sexy, despite the drool goatee. They spear her at both ends and she cheers them on with contrived dirty talk. Sasha has a Jenna Haze quality, a small girl who you'd suspect was mousy and twee but is instead patently nasty. I like it! The guys swap her around and she's fully engaged in it all. The anal proves that as she takes it all in doggy and her pretty face is sexily disheveled. Her squealing "fuck yeahs!" get a bit grating but considering that each cock is about the size of one of her legs it's not surprising. They wreck her ass singly (with ATM for good measure) before the D.P. starts. It ends predictably, more dirty talk and swallowing. Cute girl, nasty girl.

Scene 4: [Jamie Lynn]

Jaime's back in a trashy outfit and high collar, showing off her ass and pussy and her Angelina Jolie looks. She spends most of her time massaging those large breasts (wouldn't you?) or leaning against the wall, all in silence. It's still sexy even though the rapid-tongue-movement exercises are overdone.

Scene 5: [Mindy Main], Sascha, [Chris Charming]

Mindy is a pretty, short-haired brunette who puts up with the director's rapid-fire chatter. Her breasts are large and fake (with incredibly long nipples) but only one part of a hot, curvy body. She's a stripper and grinds like a pro, teasing her boys as they direct her to pose and crawl with commands and a crop. They put her in a spreader bar that connects at a collar and at her wrists, fingering her pussy and making her ride their fingers. OK, that's cool, though I'd like the camera to show more long shots. Her patter is professional stripper talk, breathy and sexy but with an edge of calculated performance in her voice that rings false. Her blow-jobs are OK but she and the guys aren't clicking. She's forcing it and the boys aren't trying to work with her. They've just sticking to the script instead of adapting to her needs (which doesn’t constitute "control" as much as it does "being a prick"). The stilted chemistry ruins the action for the most part, which is a shame as I suspect Mindy would be a good performer given the right partner. There are some good moments, like the mish with BJ and the doggy with her bucking back, but overall Mindy isn't in her comfort zone - the guys are just inattentive Euro-brutes, and we pay the price.

Scene 6: [Jamie Lynn]

It's her again, in a schoolgirl outfit this time, smoking and looking sultry. The breasts (which really should have their own name or geographical designation) come out of her shirt for a bit of play. It's a short piece, leading into…

Scene 7: [Whitney Stevens], [James Deen]

The other set of continental breasts in this video. Bigger than Jamie's and very well formed, Whitney herself is almost an afterthought to her rack. She's 19 and looking a bit nervous at first but shows off a hot set of curves, firm and lovely. Her cock-jock collars and cuffs her, taking advantage of it to make her crawl and hum his rod. The fucking is better than the sucking. We get great views of the mish. It's straight forward sex (with a leash for color), and enjoyable with this hot girl. Laying her flat to beg for more cock (and get it) is a fine bit as well. As soon as the tits were visible it was obvious how this was going to finish, with a pop shot right between them.

Scene 8: [Jaime Lynn]

Still in her pseudo-schoolgirl outfit for more breast viewing. Jaime spends a long time licking a Lucite paddle before switching to a red-and-white striped outfit and again teases us with her ass and chest. It's a bit dull after a time but I find myself fascinated. Less remarkable tits would make for less interesting footage.

Scene 9: [Shay Jordan], [Scott Nails]

Shay has an exotic face and a middling body. Medium ass, medium tits, overall a good package. Scott is cuffed and watching her tease. This scene has actual directorial and editing acumen. The cuts are purposeful and skilled, moving the action along. Different angles and depth of shot make for compelling footage as he goes down on her and she returns the favor. They swap around in the standard positions, giving a decent show. But it's clearly standard action. The cuffs hit the carpet before anyone's naked and there they stay.

DVD Special Features: What have we got here? Come shot recap (which I'll never understand), a photo gallery and slide show, six trailers that you may have trouble finding as the menu seems to be f'ed up (though that may just be my machine).   Collapse.
