[Real to Reel Pictures-Filmco-Sierra Pacific] – Honesty

Honesty is a way of life. It takes courage and willingness for Jason to get what he wants from Jared, but acting on the advice of Chris McKenzie he makes his move and gets his reward. Add to this the steamy exploits of Jasons school friends, newcomer Al Matthews with his tight defined bod and the incredible endowment of Alvin and the super-cute Tex Cox and you have a driving video which smacks of sex as only Honesty can.

Review

(Adult Video News)

Honesty —the first feature in a series to be by the newly formed Reel to Reel Pictures company —has the most tasteful and professional packaging I have seen in a long time. Cover lads Jared Young and Jason Hunter are dressed in period style (sort of 1930s) and leaning against a tree outside an elegant old house. The photo is sepia tinted, beautifully reproduced and wrapped around the box. What with the cover and a simple, urbane title, one can not help but expect something unusual inside —something subtle and elegant.

Instead of evoking that mood, director Lawrence kicks in from the very start with his usual electronic funky sex music. It proceeds to stomp on the fine, woody visuals, and the rest of the tape proceeds form this same erotic paradox —interesting young men and locales captured with good, crisp photography but lacking character.

The theme is only vaguely referenced in a feature of straight-forward sex that keeps looking like it wants to belong to some sort of story. Taken as a whole, it is a real mixed bag, whose noteworthy elements are close to the surface.
