It's blockbuster season in the adult film world as studios prepare their big budget movies for release in hopes of winning the coveted AVN award for best film, and Wicked's Fallen will be serious competition with its superb sex scenes, strong storyline and high cinematic quality.
Jessica Drake is our fallen angel, performing in nearly every scene, doing anals and frequently fingering her own anus while sucking and fucking her way into our hearts as the angel who's been stripped of her wings by the Big Boss Upstairs. When she allows her human ward, Jenna Haze, to kick the bucket on her watch, Jessica's punishment is to live among us mortals. We watch as our fallen angel plunges deeper into the dark, seedy underworld, partaking in voyeurism, leading an orgy, paying for a sex booth girl, blowing a cabby, fucking a corrupt cop, fucking her tattoo artist, and eventually finding her salvation in hunky Brad Armstrong.
Fallen is reminiscent of City of Angels (Warner Bros. Pictures, 1998) in some of its key plot elements and in the love story that ensues. The movie itself is over 2.5 hours long, with three more discs of content, including special features, bonus features and a sampler disc. The packaging is impressive and alluring (pictured), with silky white feathers just inside the main box. Those feathers will be put to good use. Read on for my full review and some large teaser images.
Fallen starts out with a montage of Catholic-symbolic imagery and clips of our angel, Jessica Drake, but we almost immediately cut to Jenna Haze and Brad Armstrong getting it on mortal-style. The couple kisses and moves through various positions with Jenna Haze being quite vocal. I enjoyed this scene, but it's not my favorite, as the movie is just warming up. I've said this before and I'll say it again: Is there a big budget porn flick out this year that doesn't include the talented Ms. Haze?
I don't want to give too much of the plot away, as it merits your viewing, but I will say that the next sex scene, an orgy, definitely changed my opinion of Jessica Drake as just another feature girl. The orgy consists of Jada Fire, Lana Croft, Michelle McLarren, Ryder Skye, Brad Armstrong, Derrick Pierce, Barry Scott, Eric Masterson, Sean Stylez, and of course, Jessica Drake. Everyone switches partners and positions as each mini-group engages in various sex acts from one-on-one fucking and sucking to threesomes and anals. Jessica Drake and Lana Croft are both double-penetrated and Michelle McLarren takes some intense b/g doggy-style anal. But what really impressed me occurs at the end of the orgy. Jessica moves from sex group to sex group as the men finish: She cum-swaps with each of the five women! This was intense to watch as even I couldn't believe she was really taking in all that cum. This may be a bit much for couples.
Just as I'm thinking our fallen angel can't top the nasty sex factor from her orgy scene, I'm proven wrong in the follow-up sex scene. Randy Spears is the cynical cop who mistakes our fallen angel for a street walker. In this scene, Jessica Drake takes his massive, black police baton up her ass as Spears finger fucks her pussy. She's on the trunk of his police car yelling out obscenities while getting her ass reamed by a full-sized nightstick! There's intercourse between her and Spears as well and the scene ends with Spear's cock getting expertly deepthroated into total bliss. Spears shoots an impressive thick and creamy load all over Jessica's eager face. The chemistry between the pair is high.
Jessica finds herself still restless, wandering on fire escapes. Soon, she's outside the apartment of her favorite high-end prostitute, Jennifer Dark. Jessica looks through the window as Dark entertains two gentlemen callers, Marcus London and Tommy Gunn. If you love beautiful, dirty-talking women, this is the ultimate potty-mouth sex scene. I rarely hear anyone talk dirty as convincingly as Jennifer Dark. She enthusiastically exclaims to Tommy Gunn as he fingers her pussy:
Do it faster, motherfucker!
Meanwhile, as she blows Marcus London, she murmurs between sucks, in a matter-of-fact tone:
Sure got a lot of those fucking veins in here.
Dark knows what she wants and she isn't afraid to ask for it as she orders Gunn to:
Slap that ass while you fuck that pussy!
Her comments sound natural and kinky in the heat of the moment, and there sure are plenty of them. In addition to the dirty talk, I find it hot when London raises Dark's teacup ass way up in the air as Gunn fucks her pussy. Dark takes a couple double penetrations in the two main positions - face down and face up. Dark does a nice job polishing off both dicks after they cum on her chest. Jennifer Dark is the most photogenic gal in the film with the hottest sex scene. Few porn stars can match her authentic vigor.
Up next is a romantic tryst between our fallen angel and director Brad Armstrong. The scene starts out with dancing and kissing. Armstrong looks delicious in his suit and glasses. Jessica is wearing a sexy, black dress. They start off in a jazz club with a live singer and end up in his private bedroom. Jessica tastes herself and fingers her ass a lot during the sex. She does anal in reverse cowgirl with a lovely pussy spread, and finishes with anal in missionary. Armstrong pulls out and cums on her pussy lips. He then takes some cum on his finger, fingers her ass with it, and has Jessica lick his fingers clean. Yummy.
We learn Jessica enjoys faring, which is apparently riding on top of a taxi cab. Yes, on top, not inside. In exchange for some complimentary faring, Jessica blows "cabby" Herschel Savage. I like that in addition to Jessica's sprinkled dirty talk, Herschel Savage returns with some of his own. It's nice to hear the guy say nasty things back to the girl. This is rare since men are typically treated as little more than hard-dicked props. By having scenes like this where the males engage more vocally with their female partners, the movie earns a female-friendly feel that your wife or girlfriend will appreciate, but with high raincoat factor sex. In other words, the best of both worlds.
Our depraved, little fallen angel also enjoys visiting sex booth girls. Out of a selection of delectable gals including Alektra Blue, Jenaveve Jolie, Hunter Brice and Angie Savage, Jessica chooses Angie for her angel wings tattoo and innocent eyes. Coincidentally, Angie's character is named "Gabrielle", which Jessica appreciates. Angie Savage looks a lot like a younger, cleaned up version of Courtney Love. The resemblance is so uncanny, as I watch the scene unfold, I can't help thinking how Love would perform in bed sober. There's a ton of tease between the two women, but eventually Angie winds up in doggy-style with a small silver vibe up her ass, and a large blue vibe thrust into her pussy. This scene is mostly done in doggy-style to show off Angie's angel wings tattoo and hot ass. This works for me. Jessica also takes a bigger vibrator into her ass, which she cleans off afterward.
Next, we're treated to a flashback sex scene, in which Jessica Drake is a winged angel. She and fellow angel, Shyla Stylez, do a threesome with the archangel Michael, played by superstud, Niko. The eye candy is intense as these three angels get it on in a Gothic, stone chapel of sorts, with large gates and awe-inspiring decor. This scene is beautifully choreographed as the two female angels service Niko, and each other. Jessica fingers her ass a lot in this scene too. She just loves sticking her finger up there. The girls clean off Niko's dick nicely after each has her way with him. Finally, the ending facial includes some cum-kissing between our angels. I appreciate Niko's cut body, but Shyla seems a little off her game here.
The final sex scene in Fallen has a long romantic build-up that includes a road trip through the desert, biking to a scenic rock, and a private plane ride with pilots Drake and Armstrong. All this is interspersed with conversation between our main characters. If this is not for you, then cut to the action, but I appreciate the scenery and decent acting. The sex takes place outdoors in the evening, by a real campfire. The soft, red glow from the fire and the desert backdrop make for a beautiful setting. We start off with some cunnilingus, which doesn't last too long. Armstrong kisses Jessica as he fingers her pussy and she tastes herself on his fingers. What a romantic little start. He continues to finger Jessica as she goes down on him. I like that he doesn't just sit there getting his blowjob, but continues to keep her excited. They make love in spoon position, then Armstrong creatively uses a rolled up sleeping bag to lift Jessica's ass up in doggy. The scene ends with a facial and clean-off oral.
Yet, the film doesn't end here. There is an actual closure to the storyline, which I won't spoil. Overall, this is a well-made adult film that has both intense sex scenes and a compelling plot. An attractive female and male cast, great sets and costumes, solid acting and Francois Clousot's camera work and art direction add something special to Wicked's latest film. Jennifer Dark looks like a supermodel and performs like a sex-starved nympho. Her energy is so intense, even Tommy Gunn and Marcus London have trouble keeping up! Our star, Jessica Drake, who has the most difficult role in the film, comes through beautifully. I fully expect Fallen to receive several AVN nods.
