Compulsion (Elegant Angel) Review

Selena Silver "Pick of the Week" #29

The Inside View with Selena Silver - April 13, 2004

The Inside View is published once weekly by porn actress Selena Silver.  Each week, Selena brings you an inside look at a movie good enough to be  deemed a Selena Silver "Pick of the Week" with the goal of adding the perspective of someone who has worked with the studio, director, or stars of the movie. 

"COMPULSION"

a Axel Braun Film from Elegant Angel

 Front Cover

Let me tell you one thing about Axel Braun: he writes GREAT scripts and shoots beautiful movies that somehow still get that hard sexual edge.  Compulsion is a truly great movie. It is a feature film - it is not as hardcore as most of the gonzo movies I review except for the last scene (know that up front). This is one that you could play with your girlfriend/wife (you would probably get incredible sex during and/or after!), but... it isn't as soft and/or useless as some adult feature films. Compulsion will get you off because it has some very gripping psychological pulls during some of the sex scenes that enable that fantasy to take you places that you won't get from the hardest gonzo flick.  Compulsion is compelling...

I first met Axel in Patrick Collin's office at Elegant Angel.  I have worked for him a couple of times and think the world of him - this man has incredible talent and vision.  What will make him stand out as a feature director is that he really uses his PhD in Psychology (yes, an adult filmmaker with a PhD!) to write great scripts. (Axel won the AVN award for Best Screenplay with Compulsion).  I read his script for his Private feature "Cadillac Highway" (unreleased as of this date) and it was as good as writing as Compulsion.  Isn't that a common complaint about adult feature films?  Make no mistake about it- Compulsion is a film.  It was shot on film with a high budget- and for once... we have an adult feature film that looks like a film we can be satisfied with.

From the eerie Belladonna vocals, the standout soundtrack (the best I have ever heard in an adult film), the BEAUTIFUL cinematography,  the TOP-NOTCH editing, the grandness of the movie (planes, Ferraris, car races in the desert), the tight and fascinating script, the sexual tease, the psychological pull of the sex, the standout last scene (that one is going to get you)... Compulsion is a run away winner. 

On a personal note - I was supposed to be in this movie.  Axel Braun cast me for it and then due to some other things I was unable to do it.  I have never seen a movie after it has come out and wished that I was in it as bad as I wish I was in this movie.

For those of you who don't normally watch feature films...stop reading this review.  Watch the Compulsion Trailer.  (Yes, that really is Belladonna singing lead vocals on the theme song "Compulsion")  Then come back and finish reading this review.  A prediction... you will probably want to watch this movie.  A promise... it was worth it for me.

Big Charlie is an old school mob boss played superbly by Patrick Collins.  His only son Niki (Kurt Lockwood) is a typical spoiled brat into hot women, rough sex and small time crime.  His father is desperate to see his son become a lawyer and live a straight life - "don't be me", he tells him.

Niki is opening a nightclub and has a hard time making it home to see his father; Big Charlie wants Niki to come home because he has remarried.  Niki doesn't take the news very well... But, when his nightclub partner double crosses him and frames him for murder, he has to turn to Dad to bail him out. He comes home and meets his father's new bride.   Big Charlie's new wife Mya (played by Ashley Long) is a sex kitten half his age.  Niki's initial resentment turns to temptation as he courts his step-mother.  But, there is something about her he doesn't know...

The movie moves through the plot of the lust and the eventual succumbing to the forbidden temptation very well (the building sexual tension is very well developed and held off until just the right moment)... and as a result we get a scene from Kurt Lockwood and Ashley Long that wins "Best Couple Sex Scene" at the AVN Awards.  Mixed in with the main plot of a mobster's son falling for his father's wife is the subplot of the partner that double crossed Niki and set him up.  We get an outstanding cameo from Axel Braun in the scene where Niki gets his revenge.

When at last news reaches Big Charlie of his son's betrayal he has to decide what to do about it...  Patrick Collins really played the role of Big Charlie to perfection.  He is a very tough and hard man who really loves his son very much.  He decides to show his son his wife's secret... if his son can take it and still love her - his son can have her...

Can he take it?  Does he get her?  I told you it was compelling...

First a solo scene...

The movie opens with Ashley Long performing a solo striptease for her new husband Patrick Collins.  The music is right, the setting and lighting is right, Patrick's dialogue is actually very sexy, and Ashley Long is hot as hell...We learn her dirty secret during this solo tease that will have you stiff and hard or wet and ready before we even get to the sex.

SCENE ONE A:

Finally Kurt cums on Avy's plentiful bosom.  The three of them stand and kiss before exiting the bar.

SCENE ONE B:

SCENE TWO:

SCENE THREE:

This is one of Katrina Kraven's early scenes in the biz.  Katrina's smoking hot as always  Katrina's wearing a nose ring, black leather wrist cuff, black and white animal print top, black skirt, and heels.

SCENE FOUR:

SCENE SIX:

This is a brilliant psychological scene that will play out very well in many couple sexual fantasies... the woman forced "against her will" to service many men while her man is tied and forced to watch.  I know many people who get off on that.  This was executed so, so well.

Kurt Lockwood is tied to a cross with a gun at his head.  Patrick Collins leaves his goons to force Kurt to watch Ashley pay the price for his temptation. 

Ashley's locked in a metal cage suspended off the ground.  She is naked with makeup smeared across her face.  Mickey, Jake and Denis (Pat's men) circle the cage prodding and grabbing her.  They pull out their cocks and force her to suck them through the bars.  Mickey makes her lick his ass as he taunts Kurt - "look at your little whore with her tongue in my ass!"

They take her out of the cage and proceed to fuck her on a gynological  chair.  Two hold her down as they take turns.    Ashley screams and cries as they enter her ass again and again.  A very graphic scene.  Denis and Mickey take Ashley between them in a lengthy DP. 

They each take turns in her ass having her lick their cocks clean.  Mickey licks the side of her face as she's fucked - little actions like that really make this scene.

Ashley does a superb job in this scene.  See, she is a girl who WANTS to be forced to be a slut.  We know that from the opening of the movie.  She is reluctant to let that side go in front of Kurt, but knows that if she is too be herself he needs to know.  In this scene she balances her total desire to be fucked (lunging for the cocks to suck) with her need to be forced (fighting sometimes against the men and some crying and screaming).  There are some great shots of the drama that Kurt goes through during the scene and some pleading eyes from Ashley to Kurt... love me anyway.. this is who I am.

Finally they all cum on her face as she kneels on the floor, forcing her to suck them clean.  They taunt Kurt - "she's a nasty little whore; remember that when you kiss her now" as they force him at gunpoint to see her take their cum all over her face.  A bag is put over Kurt's head and they tell him "last look"...the scene ends.

This is a truly dark scene with GREAT performances by Mickey G and Ashley Long.  Jack Spade told me he found this scene extremely hard to do as Ashley made it so real.  After watching it... I can totally see why.  This is truly an awesome and visually spectacular scene.  Do I have to say it?  Buy the movie JUST to see this scene.

Back to the story...

I won't tell you how the story ends. I will tell you there is a very dramatic confrontation between father and son and a stirring final meeting between the stepmother and son. The movie closes with a great voiceover a cinematically gripping picture.

Great fucking movie...

• Behind the Scenes
• Bonus Scene
• Trailers

Ashley Long really shines in this movie - her body and looks were perfect; her performances gripping.  Sex scene four which one Best Couples Sex Scene from AVN was an outstanding scene, but the "Cage Scene" was the best scene of the movie.   Her three solos were simply put... sexy as hell.  Ava Vincent, Aria, and Katrina Kraven really delivered as well.  Patrick Collins, Mickey G., and Mr. Bigg all rocked their roles as actors.  Kurt Lockwood did a very good job as the male lead.

That is why Axel Braun's "COMPULSION" from Elegant Angel
is the Selena Silver "Pick of the Week" for April 13, 2004.
