John Travis, the man who gave the gay "milieu" the out-sized Jeff Stryker in the all time bestselling POWERTOOL, delivers another essay on the macho mystique, this time set within the fantasy-inducing confines of the military. None too original perhaps but still a hugely popular fetish, handled with appropriate eye for detail (a truly "make or break" factor with specialized aficionados) by a filmmaker and studio class act Studio 2000 with a fine track record for respecting their target audience, with solid Ross Cannon photography the standout technical aspect.
Two Czech soldiers (Pavel Novotny and Ales Hanak) on a mission to learn from the strategies of the US Army quickly become the objects of desire for privates and officers alike. The concise script an unfortunate mainstay in today's homo porn quickly gets what little cleverness it possesses out of the way with the misunderstanding between gruff Sergeant Chris Steele (who made his knockout debut as Travis' UNCLE JACK and showed an unexpected softer side in the same director's TRUST ME) and the love gods from the East, whose "double entendres" in their native tongue are duly translated through subtitles and in a rather more cleaned-up version by an unflappable interpreter played by Czech director Jan Novak who incidentally worked with both Novotny and Hanak on GOOD & BAD.
Once the premise is set up, the sex fortunately never lets up. Steele devours Pavel as only he can with the Czech cutie "bottoming" for the first time in his career. Nick Savage (from Travis' PERFECT STRANGER) and Michael Brandon turn a battle of wills into a hot grope in the back of a van. Hirsute hunk Thomas Lloyd, the unforgettable star of Wash West's ANIMUS, provides the steamiest encounter with blonde bunk buddy Steve Harper (also in John Rutherford's Falcon classic FLASHPOINT) with Steele joining in the festivities for a truly killer threesome. For contrast, dreamy-looking Corporal Geoff Ashton - who starred in Peter Romero's appropriately titled DREAMWORLD - consoles himself romantically with the angelic Ales whose ephemeral good looks assured him a short stay at George Duroy's Bel Ami company, home of the prettiest boys from behind the former Iron Curtain.
