FORMAT: BLU-RAY (REWATCH)
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
(As posted on March 18th, 2016)
I’m a huge Jamie Gillis fan. In fact, my next book (which hopefully will be out by the summer) will feature an entire chapter devoted to the man. Gillis delivered some truly stellar performances in a slew of XXX movies over the years, and he’s always fun to watch, no matter the quality of the film. In Corruption, he gives a good performance, but the flick is so muddled that he never is really given much to work with.
Gillis plays a businessman who closes some sort of deal. His brother is a lowlife who he has to make a temporary alliance with to make sure the deal goes through. He then leads Gillis into a place that has a series of red doors, each of which feature a bunch of people performing sex acts just behind them.
I really couldn’t make head or tails of what was going on in the movie. It’s particularly frustrating and disappointing given the fact that it was directed by none other than Roger Watkins of The Last House on Dead End Street fame. Although he does toss in a few moments of random weirdness (like the guy in the mime make-up), none of it really makes much sense.
Not that you necessarily need a porno to make sense. If the sex scenes were any good, I probably wouldn’t have minded the fact that Watkins’ plotting sometimes borders on schizophrenic. Although Gillis gets a good scene with Vanessa Del Rio, many of the other sex scenes just come up short. The cinematography looks great too, but in the end, Corruption winds up being too arty to really work as erotica and not sexy enough to function as a straight XXX flick.
AKA: Corruption in Bed.
