With the War on Terror still in full swing, there's been talk about the dwindling number of new recruits for the armed services. Our troops abroad are being utilized to the max, many doing multiple tours with hardly a break in between, and small numbers of new recruits being trained. Maybe the current regime should follow the example set in Army Strongarm.
With their recruit numbers slipping, recruiters Trent Atkins, Logan Robbins and Elijah are told to strongarm citizens into joining the military or they'll be reassigned. The three brainstorm and come up with a clever plan, and whoever enlists the fewest new recruits by the end of the day has to buy beer. The plan is simple, almost military pimping if you will: a fun fuck in exchange for a signature and service to your country, in more than one way.
Army Strongarm is the first title from Dink Flamingo's Dirty Bird Pictures, part of his Pink Bird Media. Flamingo is right up there with Dirk Yates when it comes to filming the best in amateur military men having sex with other men. His Active Duty films boast great production values and men who, despite being in front of a camera with another man, are insatiable and eager.
Although he's one of the producers, this is not one of Dink's best films. Nor is it one of the best from award-winning director Mike Donner or co-producer Steve Jerome.
Maybe it is because it's the first film of this new division, but the film didn't meet my expectations. There's a certain stiffness in some of the models. When Trent Atkins gets a lift from Mark Hansford, the look in their eyes says the scene is going to be grand, but Hansford's performance isn't as eager as it is over-the-top, and Atkins has this look on his face in certain parts that says he thinks he could do better. In the middle of the scene, Atkins starts fucking Hansford with a black dildo, then a purple jelly double-headed one, which takes the scene in a distracting direction that has little heat.
Later Logan Robbins meets Hans Ebson, and while the two are delicious eye-candy, Robbins seems nervous and stiff, and not in the good way. He looks tense while fucking Ebson, as if he's putting too much thought into it. Then Ebson takes over and fucks Robbins, to end it on a higher note.
Ebson later meets up at the recruiting office with Elijah, who is a shining star in Flamingo's stable. Elijah isn't as vocal or uninhibited as he has been in his other films as he sucks Ebson's fat uncut rod. He wakes by the second half of the scene as Ebson rims and fucks his hungry hole, barking "Give it to me sir! Give it to me!" He then surprisingly turns the table and pounds Ebson's inviting hole, grunting and panting, while smacking Ebson's ass.
Atkins, Robbins and Elijah have saved their best for the last scene, as they demonstrate the skills they used to get their enlistments to skyrocket. It's too bad they kept their sexual overdrives locked away, because here is a fierce, fervent and heated three-way. The positions are creative, but the camera angles could be better, and it ends with a fantastic fucking where Robbins fucks Elijah while he fucks Atkins, and they shoot their biggest loads of the film.
