I had been looking forward to this movie after reading that Tammi Ann was in the cast and after seeing some previews in Triple XXX mag #5. Tammi Ann is in it, but the movie as a whole is far below my expectations of a Private production. The plot is a ripoff of _Deliverance_, not in itself a bad idea, but poorly executed. The scripting seems worse than usual, almost half an hour goes bye with minimal plot development and no sex, and there is only one brief anal scene, unusual for Private! Quick scene rundown: Four girls get ready for a rafting vacation. Laura Palmer has sex with the curly-haired guy from Private. Okay, but nothing special. Jon Dough is a misogynist crossbow hunter leading three others on a weekend hunting trip. His brother happens upon Tammi Ann masturbating on a by the stream. He attempts to rape her, but before he begins, Melissa Hill shoots him. Big complaint here -- no sex scene with Tammi Ann, after nice masturbation scene. Private certainly did not shy away from rape scenes in Tower I,II,III, so what's the problem here? Not even a blowjob. Jon Dough steals the women's gear while they frolic nude in the stream, so they raft down the river, and Anita Hill and Melissa Hill surprise Yves Baillat on sentry duty and doubleteam him while the others take his gear. One of Jon Dough's henchmen defects and pledges his help to the girls. In gratitude, they all fuck him. More accurately, they do him two at a time while the other two do each other. Anita Hill and Laura Palmer let themselves be taken prisoner and fucked by Jon Dough and the other two crossbow hunters. Melissa Hill and Tammi Ann surprise them and the four women steal his gear. Predictable denouement the next day when Jon Dough has to go back to town. Melissa Hill wonders how she will ever get past the horror of it all. Rather quickly, it seems, as she and the others engage the townspeople in an evening orgy. Tammi Ann has a brief anal sequence, with no insertion shot. I haven't described the sex scenes in any detail because they were so unremarkable. Pretty well filmed, as one expects from Private. Reasonably energetic performances from all four women, especially Tammi Ann, as one has come to expect. But no anal, no remarkable facials, no real noteworthy scenes. Special penalty for Jon Dough pretending to be a buff Vietnam Vet psycho-outdoorsman, when he is visibly the least muscular of any of the males, or any of the usual Private actors, for that matter. a tentative 1/2 star for the many scenes of the four women splashing around in the water nude. If it weren't for the production values, one might think this was just another blase American film. Rent this only if there is nothing else you want to see.
