The pairing of Dorcel and Ricky Greenwood is a porn match made in heaven. Dorcel has been turning out real erotica steeped in story lines, plots and geared to couples for more thant 40 years. Ricky Greenwood is a multi, multi award winning director who knows exactly how to blend sex scenes with a good story line in seamless fashion. So, with these two major factions coming together you have one very exceptional production top to bottom all buoyed by a very large, accomplished and talented cast of characters including the return of Riley Reid. It is no wonder this film is up for a number of awards from AVN and XMA, including Best Feature Film.

The main story thread revolves around Tommy Pistol, who is a grungy strip club owner. He has been lucky time after time, but now he is up against time. Seems like the powerful guy who holds the debt, Clayton (Isiah Maxwell) has given Tommy a couple of hours to come up with the $150k or else there is going to be one hell of a payback. Once again Tommy is behind the eight ball and this time has nowhere to turn, so what can he do?

He gets Riley to make a big play for a very rich customer and to try and get his money to invest in the club and get him off the hook. But Clayton is sending two of his goons to the club to get  the 150k or else there will be hell to pay. Now Tommy hopes Riley can come through. She gets a couple of the dancers, Jayden Cole and Gizelle Blanco, to go with her and put on a show for this rich guy and they deliver big time and Tommy thinks he’s in the clear. But another twist comes along as another group of guys make an offer to buy the club. Derrick (Derrick Pierce) and his two associates, Ryan Driller and Lucky Fate, have a very interesting offer for the club. He’s tempted, but still thinks Riley sealed the deal. Tommy sends another of his girls, Anna Claire Clouds, to entertain these new guys and this is one hot, steamy scene.

The next thing we know and find out, is this new group headed by Derrick that wants to buy the club is actually working for Riley. Seems she has been wanting to buy the club for sometime and change it up to something less sleazy and outdated. Now Tommy really feels pressured about coming up with the money seeing how Riley double crossed him. He is running out of ideas on what to do to save the club and his own life. What goes on from this point offers a few more twists and turns before it all ends with Tommy making a desperation move. How does this finally all work out? We’ll leave that for you to see in this complex story. But it all gets played out very well.

A master of storytelling, an award winning director, a very talented and solid cast, great settings, looks and sounds, steamy sex scenes all blend into a “must see” multi award nominated vision. If you are looking for a very entertaining couples movie then be sure that “Strip” from Dorcel is on your list, you will not be disappointed.
