Casual Encounters (2016) Review

Casual Encounters (2016) Poster

Today we are going modern. We don’t usually do that, so we decided that today was a good day to go back a couple of years for a movie that was released by Wicked Pictures and starts Jessica Drake. Drake plays a woman that wants to have casual encounters, and that’s really the crux of the movie. With that in mind, we are going to venture into a world of casual sex, with this high budget picture. The movie we are reviewing today is called, “Casual Encounters”, which was released in 2016 from Wicked Pictures. The movie stars Jessica Drake, Derrick Pierce, Marcus London, Romi Rain, Eric Masterson, Steven St. Croix, Mr. Pete, and Olivia Austin. It’s a film, more than just a porno, and it shows from the start.

The movie begins with Jessica Drake looking online for dates, and seems to find someone to email. The two then plan on meeting at a bar, and end up talking. This is all filmed with stellar lighting, amazing camera work, and shows more of a “movie” vibe than a porno. If you like high end productions, this one takes the cake, it’s well lit, it has some stellar angles, and it’s regular in terms of movies. It’s not at all gritty, with the sole downside for me being the music, which is a bad EDM production. The movie shows Drake and Derrick Pierce going to a bar and conversing, and that’s really all you see for the first 10 minutes to start the movie. As the movie progresses, the two start to kiss in the corner of a bar, and then signal to go to the back, where the action will no doubt start.

The movie goes to the bathroom, and that’s where we are treated to seeing Jessica Drake and Derrick Pierce having sex. They are just going at it, and it seems to be a natural progression, from kissing to sex. Drake has a red top, long black boots, and a black skirt. She’s a tall woman for the adult film world, has long blonde hair, and medium sized breasts, that may be augmented, but I can’t tell in this scene. Derrick Pierce isn’t a big guy, but he gets hard and lasts. The sex scene starts with Derrick performing oral on Jessica Drake, then the two go into counter sex, with only Pierce going full nude here. As far as the sex goes, it’s ok, a few positions here and there, and Drake trying to moan and look like she’s into it at first, only to finally get into it around the 17 minute mark. Derrick Pierce looks like he’s just concentrating, and while this is very much a sensual scene, it’s a little robotic in nature. If you watch it, you’ll note that it’s mostly business, even when Pierce seems to go in a little harder. After a good amount of back and forth, Pierce cums on Drake, and that’s it. Visually this is well lit, the bathroom is clean, the director does well with the camera, and the performers are ok, but Pierce is noticeably not large, and Drake seems less than enthused for a bit of this movie. The ending was ok, she sucks Pierce off a little, while EDM starts again, and I personally hate the soundtrack.

The movie fades to Derrick reading an email and seeing that Jessica Drake wants another round. He says that he will instruct her, and she is sent on a quest to find a dude to blow.

Drake meets up with a man named Marcus London, or rather that’s the actor’s name. London is a built, ripped guy, and Drake gets on her knees immediately, to start to suck him off. Her skills here are lacking. Drake visually does well, and it’s not a terrible sequence, but it’s definitely visually striking rather than something she seems to be really into. There are moments where she seems to be interested, but London has to just egg her on to continue at times. As far as a blow job scene is concerned, it’s not half bad, and at the 25 minute mark, really starts to take off, as though Drake starts to enjoy herself for a moment, and forgets she’s on film. The two move into the passenger seat of a car, as they are in a parking lot, and they start to have sex, and it’s reverse cowgirl with a condom on. It’s nothing fancy here, just your average sex scene if you ask me. Drake looks bored a bit, and London seems to know it, so he gets her up and asks her to suck him off again, and she obliges, until he finishes. There’s no music here, but the film quality is great here, yet again, giving you great angles, good lighting, and ambient noise as well. London finishes on Drake’s face and that’s it.

We are taken back to Drake’s apartment, and she is just looking off into the distance, seeing what’s around, and nothing more. She then texts Derrick and he says to come over, and he’s in a room having sex with another woman.

There’s a hotel bed, and Romi Rain is in bed with Pierce, having sex. Romi Rain is a voluptuous woman with tan skin, a large tattoo on her body, long black hair, and large breasts. She moans a great deal as Pierce goes in and out of her, and the two are nearly all naked. The two have sex the way you would with an escort, hurried, lacking passion, and just going through the motions. Drake watches and just sits in the corner as the two continue their involvement, which has no sound, other than the moans and the movement of the bed which squeaks. As far as this sex scene is concerned, it’s way better than the previous drake ones, as the two exchange positions, moan a great deal, and is quite good. Even the ending is good with Pierce cumming on Romi Rain. Romi Rain upstages Drake if you ask me, and it’s a good scene with some passion, which is lacking in the other scenes up to this point. At the 52 minute mark, Pierce cums in her mouth, and that’s the end of this sequence.

We go back to Drake texting Pierce, and wants to know what else is next. It’s here that we are taken to a new option. This time around, Pierce drives Drake to a circle of cars in the middle of nowhere. It’s here that she starts to suck off a bunch of guys, while blind folded. This scene features Jessica Drake, Eric Masterson, Mr. Pete, and Steven St. Croix, and it’s mostly a blind folded blow job sequence with the guys keeping their clothes on for the most part, and cars lights shining onto them. It’s straight forward, until around the 1 hour and 5 minute mark when St. Croix starts to have sex with Drake, while she’s still blindfolded. At around the one hour and 9 minute mark, you’re going to get a double penetration moment, with Drake getting pounded and hoked, blind folded, with another guy getting blown at the same time. This is the most interesting of visuals, and it’s really the most hardcore of the sequences that Drake has been in, that I have seen her in, thus far. It truly seems like she gets into the scene, and the director lets the action play on, relatively easy going with Drake actually looking like she’s into the sex. It’s a fascinating push forward, in an otherwise sterile film. All of the guys take turns, and eventually cum on Drake, before Pierce gets out of a car and starts to approach her. Drake takes off her blind fold and starts to blow Pierce while a couple watches in a car.

The scene ends without a money shot, and we are taken to a bathroom in which we see Jessica Drake, just taking a shower. She is in there and taking a shower, soaking up the cleanliness, and that’s it. A nude Jessica Drake starts to masturbate in the shower, and that’s it. If you like solo masturbation scenes, then you may like Drake’s scene here, where you see her completely nude, and notice that she does in fact have breast implants. Visually it’s simple, but the director stays above the waist for a lot of it, making this an odd choice if you ask me. There’s a bit of focus on the masturbation around the one hour and 20 minute mark, but it’s more of an artistic send off than a hardcore sex scene if you ask me. Drake does get herself off though, which is sexy, and finely tuned if you ask me.

The scene fades, and we are taken to a mundane task where Drake is texting Pierce and we are along for the rid. It’s a simple look at Drake with minimal make up and just in regular clothing. I personally like her this way, but that’s just my two cents. She texts Pierce and the two setup a date for later.

At the next meeting, we see Pierce hanging out and waiting for Drake. This next scene features Jessica Drake, Olivia Austin, and Derrick Pierce. We are given a little bit of a story here, as Drake drops a photograph on her. We start to see that Drake has been trying to blackmail this guy for some time, and has been working an angle the whole time, eventually getting her revenge at the end. She then enters the room with the dude’s wife, and there’s some explaining that needs to get done, right? Nope! This is a porno, and we are taken into a whole new world of sex as there’s a threesome. This time around Olivia Austin gets most of the action, and she’s a tall blonde woman with large breasts. Her and drake could be sisters in this. Jessica Drake, Olivia Austin, and Derrick Pierce have sex on a white couch, and it’s visually good, just a bit dry if you ask me. There’s no passion again, and it’s robotic in nature. However, as far as a modern porno is concerned, it has all the elements that you would expect, so I guess in a way it’s not terrible? I can’t complain too much, it’s two hot blondes getting railed on a white couch, simple and plain. Pierce cums on Austin’s face and that’s the end, another movie done.

I give “Casual Encounters” a 3 out of 5. While I am a fan of Jessica Drake’s work at times, visually, I didn’t find this one to be that great. She is a great looking woman, don’t get me wrong, but the sex just didn’t feel passionate at all. She is a stunning woman though, and I’d love to interview her, and maybe clear up some of my criticisms of the sex. Otherwise, it’s a random porno that I probably won’t remember.

Now, if you’re a fan of modern porno, and like the premise of casual encounters, and love Jessica Drake, then by all means, this is a blu ray and DVD you want to get. It’s well made, it looks great, and it will definitely impress a lot of people. It’s a good looking movie, and you can buy it by clicking HERE.
