DVD Review: Red Light District’s “Gang Bang 5”

A few months ago we ventured inside the mind of Brian Surewood, as accessed via the cover photography of Red Light District's "Gang Bang 5". Well, we've finally received a copy of the movie, and now it's high time we talked about Sasha Grey.

Review by Gram Ponante

This two-disc movie, containing two individually-packaged DVDs of first Naomi, then Sasha Grey being gangbanged, is of tremendous value to people who like to watch women getting gangbanged.

It's difficult sometimes to figure out what to watch for. Both women are porntastically receptive, and this is a movie that does not get off on a woman being surprised or cajoled into being septuple-teamed. In fact, both Naomi and Grey appear game and enthusiastic (though only one seems to really mean it).

Director Strong gets all the right angles and doesn't worry about shot composure any more than what is necessary to see all the right parts at the right time, a commitment to simplicity that other gonzo directors should take heed of. Naomi and Grey are each the star of her own disc, and each appears in sequences increasing in gangyness until she is almost lost in a forest of packages.

Naomi is whippet thin with an ass that Brian Surewood seeks to frame and put in a museum. Throughout the movie, people just can't believe her ass. It is astounding. But Naomi is a little too camera friendly, and her porn mugging would shame Fred Willard. By the end of the DVD, the pasted-on whoreishness has started to unravel, and - who can blame her? - she looks genuinely uncomfortable.

Grey on the other hand seems like the real thing. While dialogue isn't the point here, there was an exchange that spoke volumes.

VOICE IN THE CROWD: Whore.
GREY: Don't you call me a whore you fucking motherfucker! This is my fucking cock! (SHE slaps a fellow's dick out of his own hand.)
VOICE IN THE CROWD: Shut up.

In the end (and everywhere else), both women are used most harshly. It seems Grey had the upper hand throughout but that Naomi just endured it. In that way the discs, despite both following the same formula, are very different.
