Synopsis:
A plotless all sex gonzo film starring Europe's biggest star, Rocco Siffredi.

Video/Audio:
Rocco's Initiations 4 is presented in the full screen aspect ratio, 1.33:1, which appears to be the original aspect ratio for the film. This presentation of the film boasts a beautiful picture with a crisp image that contains no artifacts, blemishes or glitches. There should definitely be no complaints about the video quality exhibited here.

The available audio track is an English 2.0 Stereo track, which is not nearly as good as the video quality. The biggest problem with the audio track is the default volume is turned down real low so the viewer has to crank their audio system rather high to hear what is being said. There is also a low constant hiss throughout the audio track which can be distracting. No other language tracks and no subtitle options are available.

Chapters/Time Code:
There are eighteen chapters available from the main menu for Rocco's Initiations 4 and 48 within the film itself. They are identified by a scene name or by the stars in the scene, a video clip from the scene and the chapter group in the film. Evil Angel takes the award again for ease of navigation through the film and the viewer being able to find any portion of the scene they are looking for. There is a time code for the feature film, so time searching is available.

Special Features:
Evil Angel has added quite a few extras on the disc, of which several have to do with the feature film. Of the extras, the one that probably holds the most value to the viewer is the extra footage, which is 21 minutes of footage cut from the film. Included is an extension of Tiffany's POV blowjob scene from the film, which is really nice. The fetish menu allows the viewer to go straight to select fetishes, feet, blowjobs, anal sex, double penetration, cum facials and ass to mouth/rimming, within the film. The photo gallery contains 37 pictures from the film that you flip though. The biography is a text feature that gives an in depth bio on Rocco Siffredi. Cast List by Scene breaks down all the scenes in the film and tells the viewer which cast members appear in each one. This extra is especially useful for anyone looking for their favorite star. There are Evil Angel filmographies for Lenka, Sandy Saint, Petra, Silvia Lancome, Tiffany, Bamby, Stacy, Vivia, Alissa, and Mercedes. The only completely unrelated extra is the list of URL's to various Evil Angel/Rocco Siffredi websites.

Review:
This film is a raincoater's delight. Nice looking euro babes are involved in hot hard sex with decent looking European males with no plot to get in your way. The production levels in the film are high for a gonzo film. The locations that are used look nice. The helicopter that is featured on the cover of the box does appear in the film and is even flown briefly.

The camera work looks good here and shouldn't disappoint. There are several beautifully shot POV blowjob scenes that are just excellent. The camera work on the non-POV scenes looks good as well. There is a decent amount of full body shots mixed in with the close-up genitalia shots. The scenes include multiple partners and the film is edited to show them all without destroying the heat from the scenes.

The cast looks good. The women are all hot and the men are far above average looking. The cast seems to be enjoying themselves at all times in the film. The sex is on the harder, nastier side, but there is no disrespect toward the women in the film. The sex scenes themselves are long, so viewers who hate short sex scenes will have nothing to complain about on that angle. The sexual themes in the film are oral, anal and vaginal sex with toys, female masturbation, DP, A2M, anal fingering, lesbianism and anilingus. For viewers who care about such things, there are no condoms used in the film.

The Money Shot:
A decent gonzo film with great video production levels but rather poor audio production levels should please fans of nastier sex who hate a plot getting in the middle of their erotica. Viewers who like a plot and tamer sex will probably want to pass on this one. Although this film has harder sex, it might be a perfectly acceptable choice for couples as many women friends of mine seem to like Rocco Siffredi and don't mind the harder sex when he is involved.
