Ride or Die – Digital Playground – Director – Jakodema – Cast – Mia Malkova, Selena Rose, Riley Reid, Lola Foxx, Adria Fox, Toni Ribas, Derrick Pierce, Marco Bandaras, Karlo Karrera, Ike Deizel and Steven St. Croix
A decent film nicely carried out by most of the cast in a pretty fast paced action movie that features fast cars, fast women, sex and nice storyline and plot. It centers around very sexy Mia Malkova playing a CIA agent who goes undercover to find a group of girls known as the Grip Gang. These dastardly dames have robbed a government armored truck of some top secret microchips and info.
Mia was a big time street racer, but after her father got killed racing she gave it all up. Now her CIA boss, Steven St. Croix, wants her to go undercover with some help from Ike Diezel to find this female group of thugs. She is reluctant to get behind the wheel again, but with some threats from her boss that could mean jail time, she has no choice. She infiltrates the group, loaded with marked cash and a fast and fancy car. She needs to get close to Mr. Smith, lazily played by Derrick Pierce, to find out everything that will bring these girls down.
Mr. Smith and his racing cronies laugh her off, but once they get into a street race, Mia is the one laughing as she beats them all on a very tough race through the streets of L.A. Of course Smith is now convinced that Mia can race and gets to show off his sexual skills with her. There are a couple of little twists along the way, but in the end, with a wild, furious nighttime race over the bridge, down side streets and more it is mission accomplished for Mia. Once her job is done she basically tells the CIA to shove it and takes off into another new world.
The two race scenes in the film were extremely well done and choreographed while the camera work on them was mainstream quality. The story line had a few holes and loose ends, but overall it was a good concept. Though he was just in one scene at the beginning of the film, the total professionalism of Steven St. Croix (recent Best Actor award winner at AVN) gave a big lift to this production. Mia Malkova displayed some good acting chops in her role, but as we said earlier, Derrick Pierce almost sleepwalked through his role and has been much better in previous roles. The sex scenes were nothing out of the ordinary but most had a lot of steam and sizzle to them. Overall, if you like fast cars, road action, sex, along with the very sexy Mia Malkova, then give “Ride or Die” a look.
AAN Rating – 3.5 out of 5
