James Deen's 7 Sins Wrath

Wanting to have his cake and both eat and fuck it, too, James Deen is not content with simply banging the best bitches in the biz. Nope. He also wants to slime-ul-taneously direct those same movies. And while he screws eight women quite well in this, his seventh and final installment of his “7 Sins” series, he leaves much to be desired by way of competent XXX film pud-uction in Wrath.

And here’s how “Wrath” unfolds: In a gray ’n’ barren (but terribly clean and quite spacious, actually) basement somewhere in southern California, Danny Wylde is getting his face bashed in by (who else?) James Deen (shaved head and all), with (as the camera widens) nine naked women watching—and after he’s finished pounding Wylde’s face to a bloody pulp, Jimbo starts to pummel the mouths and muffs of this same nonet of drooling slatterns. But wait! First he spanks and chokes some of ‘em.

Afterwards, he heavily slaps the tits upon several other (un)lucky bimbos. Then not-so-jolly James rather savagely fingers some of their pussies. Is this Monsieur Deen’s, er, uh, ahem, like…WRATH?! Whatever. It’s basically a “reverse gangbang,” with Deen eventually fucking this bunch o’ babes, as opposed to one ho’ getting hammered by a truckload o’ slobs. And all of the girls act as if they’re turned on, anxiously awaiting their turn to get manhandled.

The problem with all of this rough stuff is not that it’s rough (which is great; Deen even knocks a female cranium or two against some swinging overhead lamps); the problem is that we don’t get to SEE it up close and personal. Instead, as he did in his “Gluttony” installment, Deen has one camera constantly revolving around (and around…and around…and AROUND!) the action from simply too far away. Yes, there are some close-ups. Good stuff, too, as the lassies really choke on Jimbo’s joint, and there are some marvelous female tushies to behold. But we don’t get ENOUGH close-ups. And when the camera does zero in on the action, it doesn’t linger at all. It’s just a—blip! blip!—quick glimpse, really.

Also, I wish James identified each piece of ass. It could definitely have been done is some clever, creative way at the start of the movie. As is, the only trollop I recognize is Dani Daniels and her awesome, juicy, big butt of hers. Can’t miss that!

Deen’s “Wrath,” like the other “7 Sins” titles I’ve seen, is literally and figuratively distant, making it far from erotic, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of a hardcore movie. I mean, James my boy, if the porn’s gonna be weird and/or unique, you still gotta make it whackable, dude. Actually, ya gotta give credit to our star/director for his ability to fuck all of these hot tramps and not pop his nut right away. Now THAT’S professionalism.
