Divine

Legendary director Brad Armstrong presents a stunning visual erotica experience featuring some of the brightest talents in the industry.

Brad Armstrong is well-known for his prowess as a writer, but one could argue he is equally as well-known for his ability to present sex in a visually stimulating format. Here, he crafts an all-sex movie that relies on setting, wardrobe and music to create a mood as much as it does the actual sex between the performers.

This movie is essentially a showcase for industry icon Jessica Drake (in the last three years) and the imagery and sensuality are positively electrifying. Jessica is, in my opinion, a generational performer who elevates any production she’s a part of. She drips sensuality and has the ability to stoke the audience’s libido whether she’s playing a character or speaking solely through body language.

Jessica Drake, Small Hands and Will Havoc:

The film opens with a thumping hip-hop song (a genre that Armstrong uses with surprising frequency) that introduces Drake, Hands and Havoc. The first thing I noticed about this scene is how awesome the lighting is. It’s dark enough to make the performers feel like they’re villains, but all the colors (especially the cherry red of the sick ass Lamborghini in the background) pop off the screen vividly creating a brilliant contrast.

The gentlemen are clothed in matching shiny gray suits, black sunglasses and are clearly some kind of unsavory organizational muscle. Carrying a silver unmarked briefcase, pistols and an ornate knife that looks like it came right out of the movie Cobra, these guys look exactly like high-priced thugs sent to collect or deliver some kind of unscrupulous payment.

As for Drake, she sports a black corset with thick straps across her chest and ornately designed black mesh stockings. The way she looks at the camera, the way the wind rustles her hair slightly, the way she slides to the side just enough to allow a bright lens flare to illuminate her from behind before sliding back in front of the light to block it? It’s all really incredible to look at.

Once the sex starts, Drake is immediately excited and subtly takes control while still allowing the guys to ravish her. At one point, while Havoc is licking her pussy, he pauses to pull her panties to the side for easier access and she grabs his head and shoves his face back into her pussy aggressively as if to say, “Nobody told you to stop.” One of the best things about the scene is the way Hands whispers into her ear throughout. He tells her what to do, asks her if she’s enjoying herself, and demands she beg for more.

It’s really something to watch them pass the “top” baton back and forth as the scene progresses. Drake also takes quite the throat-slamming from both guys and she loves every second of it. When we get to the DP, the guys literally fuck Drake into an orgasm that collapses her into a quivering mass of ecstasy. The spectacle of Hands’ and Havoc’s tatted bodies wrapped around Drake’s is really awesome.

Avi Love and Codey Steele:

This scene is a honeymoon fantasy told from the bride’s point of view. Unlike the first scene which was dark and sleek with an air of grit, this one is bright and feels much more romantic. The color white is prevalent here as Avi is presented in lacy white lingerie and her sheer white veil, while Steele rocks a sharp white suit with black accents. A wall of white roses gives the room a professional photoshoot feel, eliciting a sense of familiarity that many married couples will likely identify with.

Avi teases the camera and her beau simultaneously which was a brilliant idea. With Codey sitting in the background staring intently at Avi during her entire dance, and Avi herself alternating between looking at the audience and looking at her new husband, the scene breaks the fourth wall and immerses the audience in the action without breaking the illusion of a newly married couple. The sex is full of passion. Avi and Codey kiss a ton and it fits their story perfectly. The look on Avi’s face throughout is fantastic as well. She can’t stop smiling and it makes her feel just like anyone with a wedding night fantasy probably imagines the night to be.

That’s the tea here folks, this scene is more than a simple “wedding night” sex scene, this is a visual representation of those lurid fantasies people have about wedding night sex. Romantic, intimate, but also deliciously and privately dirty. Avi gives an enthusiastic blowjob that feels “new” to the couple because of the way they look at each other during. It’s great character work through action rather than dialogue. There’s also a pretty cool shot of Avi riding Codey in reverse cowgirl that’s captured through the decorative footboard of the bed that deserves mention. Then, Avi slides Codey’s cock up her ass and just lets him tear it up. Yowie wowie, it is good stuff!

Jessica Drake and Seth Gamble:

What a unique and ambitious scene this is! In porn, the audience often wants a penetrative payoff. We love seeing dicks in holes. But here, Armstrong bucks that trend and instead gives the audience the visual version of a fantasy that so many of us have experienced in our minds. Jessica is a cabbie (harkening back to the days before ride shares, where getting nasty with an anonymous cab driver felt seedy, dangerous and exciting) who teases a well-dressed Seth Gamble as she parades around her garage in yellow lingerie.

Let me stop for a moment and commend whoever is responsible for the color palette in this scene. Drake’s yellow garb looks fantastic against her skin and matches the yellow cab, while Gamble’s yellow tie and pocket square match Drake’s outfit perfectly. Add to that the soft yellow light in the background and this scene becomes a visual treat before anyone even gets naked. I also really like both songs used. Great mood setters.

The sex itself is not what you’d expect. It’s really more of a JOI peepshow scene but its disguised perfectly inside a “Red Shoe Diaries”-like fantasy. Drake masturbates in the front seat while Gamble follows suit in the back as she instructs him on what to do. Watching Drake pleasure herself is great and Seth looks understandably mesmerized. The best part of the scene was Drake peeling her panties off and hanging them on the rear view mirror for Seth to look at while he jacked off, then casually passing them to him so he could inhale her sex. Holy hot!

I also really like how Armstrong opts not to shy away from showing Gamble stroking his cock. This scene could have easily just focused on Drake the whole time, but Brad deserves credit for making sure those who want to see the handsome Gamble enjoy arriving at the finish line, get to do so. Showcasing both performers only enhances this fantasy.

Honey Gold, Jessie Lee, Vicki Chase, Brad Armstrong and Jay Smooth:

Yay lighting! This scene opens with an appropriately mysterious-sounding song as the gorgeous ladies bask in the shadowy confines of their domain (which features some awesome clocks on the back wall). Each wear intricate black eye masks and matching black lingerie. Jessie in a black bodice, lacy panties and stockings, Chase in a sheer black bra and leather corset with a black ribbon in her hair, and Gold in a one-eyed mask with hints of turquoise, a bralette with matching black lace boy short panties and a lace garter belt accompanied by sheer black stockings.

The way the shadows dance over their bodies is perfect and transports the audience immediately to a place that could be any manner of sex den. This could be a sex party, a brothel or both; the mood set by the sights and sounds allow the audience the freedom to see it however they want. Armstrong and Smooth appear after a lengthy tease dressed in gray and black suits respectively, both sporting masks of their own and the orgy is officially on.

Holy cow Jessie Lee can deepthroat! Jay Smooth is a rather long man and Jessie just slides his shaft down her throat effortlessly! Honey and Vicki do a wonderful job themselves oiling up Brad’s cock as well. I gotta say, starting all three ladies with cowgirl was great! The images of three succulent asses grinding and gyrating simultaneously was fantastic. In fact, all three ladies do some really strong hip work here and the sight of them doing it in unison was awesome. Vicki Chase has a spectacular ass, my goodness! The big shocker of the scene comes in the form of Honey fucking herself with a champagne bottle while Smooth slams Chase in the ass and Armstrong takes Jessie in doggie.

Jessica Drake and Sean Michaels:

This scene marks the second time Drake and Michaels have been paired together and it’s another winner. This scene is clearly a Valentine’s Day fantasy with Drake dressed in a red corset vest, black garter belt with sheer black stockings, black lace seamless panties and a red and black matching bra. She really does look divine as the movie’s title suggests. Watching her slink around on the bed like a temptress while she seductively eats chocolates in front of the onlooking Michaels is super arousing.

He is shirtless and wearing silk lounge pants and the look on his face tells a story on its own. The action takes place on a red bed with a large jeweled red leather headboard and a soft red blanket to match the black and red sheets and pillows. Sean Michaels is obviously known for his long penis and Drake gamely takes it all the way to the back of her throat multiple times during the blowjob and 69.

You can visibly see her body heave as she nearly chokes on him time and time again and each time she goes back with a renewed hunger. I especially liked watching Drake ride Michaels because she let him take the lead. She gives him all the control by holding herself still and letting him decide how deep to fuck her. That’s a pretty intimate level of trust. Later in spoon and doggie, Drake takes him balls deep and even does that thing I love where she fingers her ass while getting fucked from behind.

Jessica Drake and Chanel Santini:

I saw this scene described as “pretty in pink” by another reviewer and I must say I agree. The opening tease features both ladies adorned in pink undergarments and surrounded by pink tree blossoms in a brightly lit room. The song choice is bright and fun and fitting as the ladies are playful and grinning ear to ear. The mood changes once they start to caress and rub each other. Jessica’s ass is filled with a jeweled buttplug as she sucks on Chanel’s cock hungrily and you can tell that she’s loving every minute of it.

Chanel gets caught up in the excitement pretty quickly as well, thrusting into Drake’s mouth rhythmically and rolling her head back in pleasure while she does so. Chanel’s curves are dynamite by the way. The visual highlight of the scene is watching Chanel force Drake head to pelvis while Drake’s legs are spread, allowing the audience a clear view of the butt plug. Whew! When Chanel finally starts fucking Drake it takes mere moments for her to send Jessica into the stratosphere of ecstasy. The chemistry and sexual capital between these two was off the charts bell to bell as they simply surrendered to their lust for each other and went for it.

Watching Jessica dive into Chanel’s ass and rim the hell out of her while stroking her from behind was incredibly erotic. Is that the first time I’ve ever seen Drake rim someone? I’ve been watching her for a long time and I feel like this might be the first time I’ve seen her do it. And then Jessica did a thing during the 69 (blink and you’ll miss it) where she sucked Chanel’s cock (no hands) and actually pushed it into her mouth with I think just her tongue and cheek muscles? I don’t know what I was looking at but holy cow was it impressive!

This film is visually stunning, scalding sexually and it offers believable versions of popular fantasies. The wardrobe is spectacular and accentuates the mood of each scene perfectly. When Brad Armstrong puts his mind to creating something, few in the industry can match him. The boldest and most unique scene is the JOI cab scene due to the subverted expectations, but the most intense scene is the pretty in pink encounter. I watched this movie on Wicked.com, so I was unable to view the extra features.
