Production quality is high throughout this Steve Scott-directed classic gay porn video that balances narrative and sexual play. Al Parker is featured in this dramatic and super-butch story of convicts on the lam.

An abusive guard (Jack Wrangler, who overacts orgasm but is well cast as the villain) makes inmates suck his cock while he points his rifle at them as he gets off. Parker and his straight pal (Will Seagers) lie in their cell and decide to escape before "it's their turn," while Wrangler is getting head from R.W. Stone.

The next day, outdoors doing road work, Al and Will make their break while, again, Wrangler is getting his meat chewed, this time by Sam Benson. What makes this film work is the character development the two men go through, still locked in their chains, and the evolving relationship of respect they acquire as Seagers tries to understand Parker's sexual preference.

The escaped duo ends up in a desolate cabin inhabited by rough-looking Duff Paxton. With Parker and Seagers still bound together, Al and Duff suck dick 69 style that night, with Seagers pretending to be resting and merely enduring the homosexual act.

Seagers can't seem to take the sexual issues and hits Parker the next day, breaking himself free and traveling out on his own, only to get caught in a bear trap in the woods. Parker finds and frees him, with Seagers beginning to understand his "odd" buddy. Parker then relates a story of being debased in a prison shower while he was in the army, as the action switches to flashbacks.

Here, he is gang-used by Dan Noble and Rob Stevens. He also tells of an affair with a ranch hand, real-life lover Steve Taylor, in which he humps him with his balls. Camerawork is especially good in the lyrical barn segment as photography captures Al's dripping wet blowjob for Taylor.

Parker finally shows Seagers what it's all about by giving him a memorable blow job, complete with Seagers's well-acted restraint mixed with enjoyment. The photography is near perfect and the harmonica and guitar music is a welcome change from the typical disco beats heard in other films.

A decidedly masculine production that's is both a classic gay porn movie and an ode to gay male sexuality.

"Movingly acted by both Parker and Seagers, the final coming together of the two principals is studded with loaded glances, powerful pauses, and honest responses that appropriately cap the film. And for once, it is appropriate not to tell the viewer how the film ends, except to say that its conclusion fuses both the dramatic and erotic to provide a double-barreled impact."-- Manshots, May 1990
