Overview: Well, it's award season. That time of year when the studios pull out their heavy hitters to vie for the prize. And there is no bigger hitter this year for Wicked Pictures than Brad Armstrong's highly touted Carnal. Simply put, this is a bona fide masterpiece of visual erotic art. An absolute assault on the senses with it gorgeous costumes, sumptuous sets and blazingly hot sex scenes, all constructed and captured through the eye of the amazing Brad Armstrong. This is his baby, and it's without a doubt one of the most incredible pieces of adult filmmaking I've seen this year.

Scene One: jessica drake, Ryan Driller and Tommy Gunn

We start the first of five scenes with jessica as a snow fairy, looking simply dazzling in her costume with enormous blue wings and just a wisp of blue make-up on her tits. Brad Armstrong's close-ups on her face and body are just so absolutely breath-taking. After a series of erotic posing we see her seducing her guards Ryan and Tommy, dressed in blue Roman gladiator gear. Soon she's lost the wings and costume and Ryan and Tommy caress her beautiful body. Tommy starts kissing between her legs and soon she has them parted for him as he starts eating her pussy.

Ryan plays with her tits as Tommy laps and sucks on her clit. jessica then starts blowing them both, Ryan fingering her pussy as her head goes back and forth on them sucking their cocks. Ryan and Tommy then sandwich her between them, Tommy fucking jessica from behind as Ryan fucks her mouth. After Tommy makes jessica cum on his cock, she and Ryan spoon while she blows Tommy. Ryan stabs jessica with his cock while she sucks and jerks Tommy's cock. With Tommy's cock still in her mouth jessica then starts riding Ryan, Ryan fucking her from underneath to orgasm.

Tommy and Ryan then DP her, Ryan fucking her ass while she rides Tommy with her pussy. While firmly holding jessica's arm behind her Ryan plunges his cock in and out of her ass, giving her multiple orgasms on both of their cocks until they both shoot their loads on jessica's face and in her mouth.

Scene Two: Lily Lane, Karma Rx and Small Hands

In the highly energetic S&M scene on the disc Lily and Karma play two mistresses dressed in gestapo outfits while their slave Small Hands hangs in a suspended cage. The costumes are incredible, black latex uniforms with officers hats. They look very menacing with their whip and crop as they berate Small Hands in his cage, Small Hands himself adorning what looks like black melted wax on his neck, shoulders and arms. After seductively taunting him in the magnificently photographed opening sequence Karma and Lily take turns sucking on Small Hands cock, Lily swinging the cage back and forth while his dick goes in and out of Karma's mouth.

They let him out of his cage and Small Hands eats Lily's pussy. In what's the most verbal scene on the disc Lily barks orders at Small Hands to eat her pussy while Karma and her magnificent tits look on. Karma spits in Lily's mouth while Small Hands laps at her pussy, making her juices flow for his cock. He starts fucking Lily missionary, Small Hands and Karma taking turns rubbing her clit as his cock pistons in and out of her pussy. After giving her multiple orgasms Karma sucks Lily's juices off and bends herself over the table for Small Hands to fuck her from behind. She goes down on Lily's pussy while Small Hands gets her from behind, Karma's incredible ass jiggling with every slam of Small Hands' cock. Karma flips over and Small Hands fucks her missionary while Lily rides her face.

After Karma cums about a dozen times on Small Hands' cock Lily tells them she wants to be fucked in the ass. Karma inserts a vibrator up her ass while she sucks on Small Hands' cock, and then Small Hands sticks his cock in and fucks her ass while she eats Karma's pussy. Lily's assgasms take up the rest of the scene when Small Hands pulls out andwhil shoots his load on her ass, Karma licking his cum off of it and sucking his cock dry.

Scene Three: jessica drake, Angela White, Mercedes Carerra, Brad Armstrong and Eric Masterson

This is the big “steampunk” scene everyone has been talking about. And I'll tell you it's a visual masterpiece in erotica. The players are just absolutely flawless in their wild west costumes, with beautiful sets and a rocking soundtrack. The opening montage sequence is just so stirring as the photography changes from vibrant color to classic sepia, all the while the performers looking so enticingly beautiful as they portray a band of very horny outlaws. As they go into the scene Eric teams up with Mercedes and Brad with jessica. They start rubbing and caressing each other and sucking on their tits while Angela pulls out her gorgeous all naturals. Brad goes over and starts finger fucking her mouth while Eric rubs Mercedes' crotch.

This starts the orgy as Brad fingerbangs Angela while Eric does the same to Mercedes. Mercedes pulls out Eric's cock and sucks it while Angela eats jessica's pussy ballerina style. Brad then fucks Angela and jessica's mouths, stabbing them back and forth with his cock. Mercedes then trades places with jessica, jessica now sucking on Eric while Angela and Mercedes fellate Brad. Angela then starts eating Mercedes' pussy while Eric fingers jessica while she jacks his cock. We then transition to Angela riding Eric's cock while Brad fucks Mercedes doggy style. Angela bounces on Eric's cock while her tits bounce in his face and jessica sucks Mercedes' juices off of Brad's cock. Eric then starts fucking jessica from behind while Brad stabs his cock in and out of Angela's pussy missionary style. Mercedes grabs Angela's tits and and kisses her while Brad Angela's pussy until she cums. Mercedes then sucks her juices off of Brad's cock as he fingerbangs Angela with both hands, first her pussy then her mouth. He fucks her some more to a couple of more orgasms, all the while Eric giving jessica multiple orgasms from behind.

Eric then fucks jessica's mouth while Mercedes eats her pussy and masturbates herself with a wooden dildo. While that's going on Angela is bouncing on Brad's cock, her tits flying everywhere and cumming over and over. Brad and Eric then DP jessica, Eric fucking her ass from behind while Brad's cock is planted securely up her pussy. Mercedes spanks her ass and makes her cum before climbing up and riding Eric's cock. She rubs that beautiful big clit of hers as she bounces on his cock until she cums while Brad fucks Angela and jessica who are laying on top of each other. This all comes to an end as Eric shoots his jizz in Mercedes mouth and jessica sucks his balls dry and Brad shoots his cum on Angela and jessica's faces.

Scene Four: Ember Snow, Kaylani Lei, Marica Hase, Nyomi Star and Tia Kai

Again, another all out assault in the senses as five of the top Asian stars today engage in a beautiful and very intricate orgy. Now, I sometimes find it difficult to review orgies, especially as action packed as this one, since there's usually so much going on I can't go into as much detail as I'd like. So I'll just tell you that the scene takes place in an ancient Asian country with Nyomi Star as the queen and Kaylani, Marica, Ember and Tia as her warrior servants. There's a lot of pussy licking and dildo fucking as all of the ladies make each other cum over and over.

Highlights include Marica Hase using one end of a set of nun-chucks as a dildo with Kaylani Lei on the other end and Ember anally riding a red strap on worn by Nyomi Star. This is a dream orgy scene for Asian fetishists with a lot of smoldering action going on between the stars so very beautifully shot by Brad Armstrong.

Scene Five: jessica drake, Ana Foxxx, Natassia Dreams and Sean Michaels

Now, if you want to talk about high concept, this is the scene for you. Brad Armstrong takes us to ancient Egypt where queen jessica has a magical genie who can transform into any form and gender. From man (Sean Michaels), to woman (Ana Foxxx), and in between (Natassia Dreams). This is an amazing, wonderfully shot scene with some marvelous editing work from Geddy Lee Roth. He seamlessly transforms the three alternate genies as Brad's camera passes by each pillar. Truly an amazing technical feat. The scene starts with jessica and Sean, the legendary and masterful Sean Michaels caressing jessica's ass and body. They start kissing and as the camera sweeps past a column, Sean has transformed into Natassia Dreams. They sensuously kiss, Natassia still caressing jessica when another sweep transforms her back into Sean. Sean starts playing with her pussy and jessica starts sucking his cock. In an instant he's changed back into Natassia and jessica is now sucking on her cock.

They switch back and forth between Natassia and Sean, jessica giving them both head when Sean starts spooning her from behind. He drives his BBC in and out of her pussy and she cums on his cock when all of a sudden he's changed into Ana with a black strap on, fucking jessica on her side. After jessica cums again on Ana's plastic cock there's another sweep and now Natassia is fucking her with her cock, pounding it in and out of her pussy making her cum again. She changes back to Ana and then back to Sean having multiple orgasms every time. They then go into a doggy style, Sean fucking her first, driving his cock into jessica's pussy from behind before turning into Natassia. Natassia glides her cock in and out of jessica's pussy, jessica going crazy cumming on it and Natassia kissing the back of her neck.

The transitions from Sean to Natassia are seamless as the cuts go back and forth between them, Natassia pounding her cock all the way balls deep in jessica's pussy. They then go missionary, Sean fucking jessica first, and then transforming back into Ana and the black strap-on. jessica has a screaming orgasm on the dildo, and then Ana transforms into Natassia, who bucks and slams her cock in jessica until she cums inside her pussy. One more transformation back into Sean and he slides his legendary cock in and out of jessica's pussy until he cums on her belly.

Final Thoughts: Carnal is a true labor of love from Brad Armstrong. It's amazing to me that he has almost single-handedly created something so beautiful, so perfect in it's execution that you're left bewildered in the end. It's an endless cascade of erotic pleasures so beautifully presented, from the gorgeously seductive opening sequences, to the sumptuous sets and costumes, all designed by the man himself. This is one of the biggest feathers in his cap and he's definitely going to be a shoe-in come award time. I also have to commend the fabulous jessica drake whose performance in her three scenes were nothing short of amazing. And a VERY special shout out to the masterful editing work from Geddy Lee Roth, not only for his beautiful treatments of each scenes opening montages, but for the extraordinary flawless transitions of the players during the fifth scene. Incredible. I have to give Brad Armstrong's flawless masterpiece of eroticism the XCritic Pick! It's an extraordinary accomplishment and one of the most essential adult titles of the year.
