| City of Sin (1991) DVD Cover (from later release) |
The opening scene shows a woman running away from a house and the graphics start to introduce who the characters are. They are typed up in a detective style formatting, and it’s quite interesting to see overall. It’s like you’re watching a detective show, and you are introduced to the people that are involved in the story, and it’s kind of neat to see. There’s obvious production value given to this movie, so that’s something worth noting.
The opening scene starts with a man going into a bordello. There’s film grain here, and it’s awesome. I love that this was filmed on 35MM or something. It’s fascinating to see. The movie goes forward and we see a man in a business suit talking about how he had a problem last time he was at the bordello. He starts to take off his clothes, and talks to a brunette haired, thin, pretty lady named Raven.
Raven is tall, thin, has brunette hair, tan, has large natural breasts, and wears a silk robe before taking it off. She starts to lick the business man, and we get some soft jazz music to start this one. Raven and Tom Chapman start to go with oral, and it’s an interesting beginning to the movie, giving you a cinema feel to the release. The camera focuses on an angled view here, so you don’t see anything too hardcore at first, and it’s blocked out nicely, kind of like a made for cable release. In fact, at one point all you see is Tom Chapman’s flaccid penis, instead of anything else, so maybe he couldn’t get it up? I don’t know.
The scene changes a bit, with a hard cut and we are taken to another room in the bordello where TT Boy, Debi Diamond, and Jenna Wells are. Debi Diamond and Jenna Wells are both older looking blonde haired women, and it shows. TT Boy is a stellar performer. We see a threesome starting to erupt. TT Boy, Debi Diamond, and Jenna Wells start to go forward with oral sex, and the movie starts to really get good in terms of the sex. There’s a bit of chemistry found here that is always a pleasure to see in these types of movies. The room is drab, well lit, and the camera focuses on the hardcore action here, more than the previous scenario. There’s a decent amount of chemistry found here, as TT Boy gets sucked off well, and it’s interesting to see a scene with so much chemistry between the performers, as it almost feels like a contest to see who can get off faster, making this scene quite good to start with.
There’s a hard cut, and we are taken back to see Raven and Tom Chapman. Finally, Chapman is hard, and he starts getting a blow job from Raven. The two get into a 69 position and things start to go forward with their room. The room is drab as well, basic, and not too complex. We see Raven pull out a condom, then we get a hard cut to the detective Joey Silvera looking on ready to bust the bordello.
We get a hard cut, and we are taken to TT Boy, Debi Diamond, and Jenna Wells still in a threesome. The blow job sequence here is perhaps one of the best ones that I’ve seen in porn thus far, and that’s saying a lot. I don’t know how TT Boy was able to stay hard, as the women here treated him like a god, licking, sucking, and just showing off at one point before getting into the sex, which doesn’t have a condom here.
There’s a hard cut, and we are back to Raven and Tom Chapman having sex. Raven is in reverse cowgirl to set things up and Chapman has a condom on. The sex is fine, nothing too crazy, with minor moaning, and movement, the two have no major chemistry in comparison to the other scene going on. As far as the sex goes here, it’s generic, and if the goal was to show what it would be like to have sex with an escort, they achieve that, since this is somewhat limited in passion. Chapman does well enough to go through the motions, and Raven is there as a counterpart, with good lighting overall, but the two just lack chemistry, and at the 21 minute mark, Raven stops the sex completely and leaves the room.
The next cut we see Trixie Tyler show up to talk to Tom Chapman. They are in the same room that Raven was in. Trixie Tyler has large augmented breasts, brunette hair, and purple lingerie. She’s got to be in her late 20s here, and she’s mostly shaved. Chapman gets started with oral, and things start to get heated.
There’s a cut and we go to TT Boy cumming on two women, then a hard cut goes and we see Chapman cumming on Trixie Tyler.
But here’s the thing, Joey Silvera and Jeanna Fine see that there’s a bust, and therefore they run out of the bordello while the detectives bust into the home, and they start to read everyone their Maranda rights. They are all getting busted and we see things developing negatively. During this bust, we see the detective talking to the boss saying that they’ve closed down everything. The boss asks them to detain Ashley Freelove, and she’s not there. The story continues and we see more characters around different homes and just talking. We see the head of the police with a vendetta, an ex con, and much more. The head of the police asks for an ex con to do him a favor and bring in Jeanna Fine’s character, and that’s it. There’s a great plot here, and it’s fascinating beyond the sex.
We move along and see Joey Silvera and Jeanna Fine walking into the woods somewhere looking for a hide out. They eventually reach a house, and they just settle in. I must note that this is a young Jeanna Fine, with longer hair, smaller breasts, and different from her latter releases. There’s a cut, and we see a memory found from Fine, where she’s talking to Jon Dough. Dough plays a music box, and the two are on a brown couch talking. She isn’t wearing any makeup, and has a green bra and panties set. The two begin to kiss and we are taken to the next sex scene.
Jeanna Fine and Jon Dough start to make out on a brown couch, within the new hideout that we just saw. There’s a large black cat painting, and there’s some good lighting here, and the two juxtapositioned with the light, as things start to heat up. This is a slow moving sex scene, and it features minimal make up, minimalism throughout the set, and the camera work. The sex is slow, almost as though they are trying to say that the two are making love, and it works well. Dough uses a condom here, and the two go through a couple of positions. IT’s a workable sex scene, with a little bit of chemistry, but there’s something missing, and I don’t know what it is. This doesn’t seem like it’s from 1991 as you see the back and forth motion of the sex, you start to think that you’re in the 1970s, as the sound design is really bad, with a terrible soundtrack. Jeanna Fine with no makeup, and going through the motions is odd too, especially at the 43 minute mark when Dough is going to cum, and well, it’s just as mechanical as things can get if you ask me. The two barely break a sweat for this scene, and Fine sounds like she’s been smoking for 30 years. She does have a sexy body, though, but that’s about it, a lackluster scene if you ask me.
We are taken back to the current timeline, and we see Jeanna Fine light up a cigarette and just reminisce a little.
The next sequence shows Jon Dough and Deidre Holland in a random home. There’s a blue couch and the two start to talk about different things before she asks him to stay the night. Deidre Holland is a blonde-haired woman with medium sized natural breasts, and is not shaved at all. She starts to blow Dough, and the scene gets kicked off. The music here is a jazz version of “Black Magic Woman” which is just an odd choice, and the two start to have sex on a couch. As far as the sex is concerned, it’s adequate, nothing of consequence, and nothing too exciting. Dough and Holland seem to have little chemistry, but are able to get through the scene with the same kind of gusto you would for your average romp, without getting too excited. There are some nice shots of the two together, kissing, but it just lacks that certain element that you got with the opening sequence earlier. There’s no condom here, and eventually after some time, Dough cums on the backside of Holland, and that’s it. Fade to black, and we go to another section of the movie.
We see Jon Dough show up to the house, and meets with Joey Silvera. Then we see him talking to Jeanna Fine. The two start talking about the past, and start to hug and kiss, as they reminisce about old times. The story continues, and we get more backdrop into the past, and the current state of things, with the police, and their professions, etc. After some time we are taken back to the bordello, and we see a few things going down.
There’s a sex scene that features a redheaded woman named Flame, and Joey Silvera. Flame is short, pasty white, has short hair, and of course you know Silvera. The two start to make out on a random couch in a bordello, and we see the two starting to have sex. Meanwhile we see a phone call take place, and find out that Dough doesn’t want to give up the girl. Meanwhile, we are back to the white couch and Silvera goes straight for the sex, and it’s a fast moving scene, without any passion, just raw sex, with a terrible soundtrack. After a few minutes of doggy style, Silvera cums and that’s the end of the sequence, nothing too crazy.
The movie divulges into a plot driven thing, and we are taken to the random blue couch we saw earlier in the movie. This time around we see Diedre Holland and Jeanna Fine talking together. They are simply together talking and that leads to the two kissing. The two start to kiss, and then start to get deeper into the throws of passion, until they start to have sex. The sex is fine, fingers, tongues, oral, and lots of moaning from Holland, more than Fine. Fine gives a lot here, and doesn’t seem to get the same in return, although the two get into several positions and just seem to enjoy the process, albeit a short one.
The scene ends, and we are taken to a random living room where our main villain talks to Ona Z. This is an older brunette, that has a beautiful face. The villain is played by a guy named Johnny Nineteen. The two start to argue, and that brings about a lot of passion and actually good acting. The acting here is superb for the scene, and as a stand alone entry point, it’s solid. Nineteen is a District Attorney and wants to get the bordello women into jail. The two discuss things and then turns into sex. Ona Z and Johnny Nineteen have sex on the random blue couch. It’s a slow moving sex scene, with little to no real passion. In fact, it’s slow, and doesn’t last that long, with Nineteen cumming way early and that’s it. It’s laughable how little he lasts here, and the camera barely shows anything other than the motions of a cable sex scene.
The movie ends and we see that the District Attorney was part of a larger corruption scandal, and then we see Jon Dough and Fine in a park just making out, because they are back together. That’s the end of that, and the movie credits start to roll.
I give “City of Sin” a 3 out of 5
The movie started out very well, as the TT Boy scene really took things to a good spot, but over the course of the movie, the quality dwindled, and we started to get boring elements and mechanical sex. I didn’t like that, and well it really dragged down the purpose of the movie, right? Well, other than that, the movie does have a great story line, and one that makes this appear to be a classic from the 1980s where you would only see it in movie theaters. It’s shot on film grain, and it’s really good overall, but alas, the sex drags it down.
