Last Tango (Ultimate) Review

Reviewed by astroknight  on  10/13/2003

Running Time: 78 min.

Production Date: 5 / 25 / 1997

Director: Thomas Paine

Cast: Alexandra Silk, Erika Lockett, Mia Ciccero, Asia Carrera, Alex Sanders, John Decker, Michael J. Cox, and Peter North

Initial Expectations: Thomas Paine has rarely impressed me much, so I don’t have much for hopes here.

Initial Reaction: There’s some hot sex, but it isn’t close to consistent.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody who’s a fan of Alexandra Silk or who’s just curious about her

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who insists on top notch technical aspects and DVDs packed as far as they can be

Audio /Video Quality: This is one of Adam & Eve’s earliest DVDs, and it’s not that hard to tell. Most everything here seems very reminiscent of VHS. The audio is clear, but seems slightly muffled at times. The video has a yellowish tinge to it as well as some slight grain. There’s also a few shadows that interfere.

Music: The music is soft and rests very quietly in the background for most of the movie, but it sounds more like a loud train wreck for the orgy scene.

Menus: The menus are extremely disappointing and let you know just how long ago this DVD was made. The main menu is unanimated and ugly, and the chapter menu lets you choose a scene based on a still photo for each chapter.

The Feature: Alexandra Silk is one heck of a little nympho. It’s even true in this movie. She’s insatiable, fucking the mysterious guy (John Decker) she meets when house hunting, as well as her realtor and the people who come over for dinner. I think there’s to be a bit of a plot beyond that, but I’m really not sure.

Alexandra Silk and John Decker start things out. They’ve never met each other before, but can’t resist each other. John throws Alex to the floor and kisses her passionately while undressing her. He quickly tonguefucks her pussy before sliding his cock into it. Alexandra’s pearl necklace is used for a little added stimulation before she rolls over to take it doggie style. Finally, Alexandra takes John’s joy juice on her great ass.

This is a pretty hot scene! Alexandra and John are both nicely energetic and really seem to be into each other. Alexandra is more vocal than I’m used to from her here, and I’ve gotta say that I liked it! This is a great way to start the movie!

Alexandra Silk darn near attacks Michael J. Cox as soon as she gets home, even though he has dinner ready for her. Michael lifts Alex onto the kitchen sink and eats her holes before vigorously fingering her. Alex returns the favor with some excellent and fairly acrobatic submissive head before Michael spoons her. Michael gives it to her from behind and teases her with anal before slamming her backdoor. Finally, Michael stuccos Alexandra’s ass with his guy goo.

This is another excellent scene! I love the oral portion of the scene, and I really think Michael went above and beyond the call of duty with how much of the scene he did standing on the sink and the stove! If you have to stand on sinks and stoves to do Alexandra Silk, I think the emergency rooms around her are going to get darn busy! She does another great job here, and puts in a vocal and energetic performance once again. With scenes like this, it’s no wonder Alexandra Silk developed an early fan base!

Alexandra Silk takes care of herself when her partner isn’t at the house when he’s supposed to be in the third scene. She starts out taking care of her pussy with her fingers, and then lets one hand work its way back so her fingers can work on her ass also. She takes care of herself as long as she can, and finally leaves looking like she’s as satisfied as she’s going to get with her fingers.

This is a pretty good masturbation scene. Alexandra doesn’t seem to hold anything back, yet it also seems fairly realistic. She also seems to stay in her same wanton character through the scene, which also makes things nice.

Alexandra incites an orgy between herself, Michael J. Cox, Alex Sanders, Mia Ciccero, Ericka Lockett, and Peter North when she finally gets home again. They work their way around the group with a little oral and then a little fucking, with the girls only interacting with each other to help suck off one of the guys. Ericka starts off the finish, taking a nice facial from Alex, before Mia takes Michael’s man milk on her tits. Alexandra doesn’t seem to want to stop, and finally works Peter to his well known ball blast on her face.

This scene did nothing for me. The music change really threw me off, and seemed awful. The camera work did a good job of matching the downward slide, going with a lot of closeups, and having some of them being quite odd. It also didn’t help that I was looking forward to seeing a bit of Mia Ciccero, but most of the action seemed to concentrate on Ericka, who did absolutely nothing for me.

Alexandra Silk takes on realtor Asia Carrera in the penultimate scene. She starts undressing Asia to see what she has on underneath her business suit, and then lets Asia work her way down to eat her pussy. Alexandra reciprocates, and even adds a finger to the mix, before Asia breaks out an ice cube. She holds it in her mouth and runs it across Alex’ body before working it around each set of Alexandra’s lips. They pass it back and forth as they work over each other before finally ending things with a kiss.

This is a very good scene that should have been great. As always, Asia and Alexandra have a great playful spirit about them. They look like they’re having fun from the start, and the ice cube only makes things better. The only thing that really holds it back is the camera work, which once again seems to prefer close-ups than actually showing something decent. I went between bored at what I was seeing and frustrated knowing what I should be seeing with how the girls were into each other, for almost the entire scene.

Finally, John Decker appears by Alexandra Silk when Asia goes to take care of the delivery guy at the door. She mentions leaving, but Alexandra convinces her to stay and join them. Alexandra warms John up while Asia rides his face, and then lets Asia lay back for John to fuck her. Surprisingly, she’s the only one fucked and missionary is the only position before John pops on Asia’s stomach.

This was a good scene for the length of it, but it was still a disappointment. This scene had a heck of a lot more potential than this, and I think it would have worked much better if John would have magically appeared or walked in on Asia and Alexandra in the previous scene than trying to break it into separate scenes. It also feels weird since Alex is the central character of the movie and some of the plot deals with her trying to find John, but they never really get it on again here. This is a clumsy ending, but at least the camera work was a little better.

Last Tango is a confusing movie. Yes, there’s the confusion if you try to figure out what the plot is, but it’s more than that. The sex seemed extremely erratic, which was mostly due to the camera work. It works very well for the first couple scenes, but when the orgy hits it nosedives. It went from well balanced to focusing on a lot of close-ups, and some of them were things like Alexandra’s back. I’ll be the first to admit that Alexandra has an amazing body, but I really haven’t heard of too many people with a back fetish. Backside or front, yet, but not just the back. I was completely into the first couple scenes, and was completely out of it by the middle of the orgy. The music went from soft and supportive to loud and interfering, and at first I thought something went wrong with the recording of it. The last scene also threw things off by having Alexandra be basically a supporting character who didn’t even really help once the fucking started. Last Tango starts strong, but I think somebody was spun one or dropped one time too many on the dance floor.

Extras: None

Themes: Straight, rimming (male > female), spanking, anal, masturbation, group, titty fucking, and lesbian

Condoms Usage: None

Raincoat Factor: High

Overall: Currently, Adam & Eve DVDs can be found online for between $7 and $25, with this line of DVDs often being available for around $10. Aim low here. The movie has some hot sex, but is quite inconsistent. The technical aspects are also lacking and there aren’t any extras.

Note to Adam & Eve: Once again, it’s really nice to see how far you’ve come!
