GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Donald Miller Pretty terrible, due to the triteness of the script. Malena Morgan is a nice girl, and if you haven't seen her work, you might think, "But she's a porn star." I like just about everything about her. And she can act. She does a decent job in this boring movie.She would be well cast as "the girl next door" type, because she is. Too bad all of her talents are wasted on, well, whatever this is. . .This doesn't contain any "spoilers," because there isn't anything to spoil -- I mean,it's already spoiled. It arrives pre-spoiled.
PorcelainDoll When I started watching this, the acting seemed even worse than in porn. It was hard to ignore that Christos Vasilopoulos was showing zero emotions during whole movie. However, as I continued to watch, movie became a little more interesting and I really loved the acting of Elle Alexandra. Malena Morgan seemed a little boring and emotionless at the beginning but during the movie she changed for better. Speaking of Kayla Jane - she was quiet intriguing. What I loved the most of the movie was the ending, it was a great plot twist when Victoria finally came to her senses and decided to end it all with Jack. In conclusion, it's pretty average movie but still worth to watch.
Jerghal Directed by Zalman King...who's that you ask? He brought us Two Moon Junction, Wild Orchid, Red Shoe Diaries and assisted Adrian Lyne in making 9,5 weeks. So you get the theme: he's into making erotic films. Pleasure or Pain is his last directorial effort before he croaked (he made it to 69, ain't that fitting). Contrary to his other films this one stars real life pron stars like lava-melting-hot Malena Morgan and also Elle Alexandra, Hayden Hawkens, Kayla Jane and Aubrey Addams. Now you might be thinking this fact would mean that it's a LOT more explicit than say 'Fifty Shades of Grey' but it certainly is not. The sex scenes are pretty short and you hardly see anything like in most other soft-porn movies (to which you could count his previous work I guess). Worst of all is that they aren't very erotic either which should at least be the point of this film but there it falls short. Though she looks gorgeous Malena is not a great actress. Well nobody in this film is. But they're better at other things lucky for them. Overall I found the story pretty boring, slow moving and poorly written as is the dialogue btw. Some credit to the DP who did a fairly good job with the lighting and such but it doesn't matter. This film is hardly worth watching because it is neither a good plot based film nor a good erotic film. Skip it!
quincytheodore There isn't much in the movie aside for erotic scenes and stupid script. Acting is shallow, because let's be honest, these are porn stars. The movie is basically a series of cheap sexual fantasy delivered in monotonous tone. Production value is passable, and the ladies are nice, but for those wanting a psychological thriller or intense drama might have to look elsewhere, after a few ogling here maybe.Story follows the main girl as she retells the story of her encounter with a rich man who has strange appetite. Plenty of monologues are used and they are all delivered with overly sensual tone and corny lines. Sequences are done for the purpose of creating titillating situations, these are mostly misdirected as the characters are inherently too cheesy and the performers can be quite zealous.The movie doesn't attempt to be overly hardcore or theatrically artsy, it simply presents attractive girls prancing about in sexually explicit way.
