On the Downlow is an all-sex film with four stylish scenes and not a word of scripted dialog (or anything else) that would connote straight guys getting it on with each other on the sly.
    The film opens on a busy city street at night, awash in neon and electric light, and the sounds of traffic and sirens overlap the first scene, even after the camera has cut away to the expansive set where Jason Crew is sucking Donovan. They're on a large mattress on the floor, surrounded by panels of lights — a one-ring porn circus. Donovan is tattooed, crewcut and furry-chested, with an interesting, life-sized, stylized spinal column tattooed down his back.
    The klieg lights at times make you feel you are going snow-blind — all you see is glare. Sometimes the effect adds an interesting three-dimensionality; sometimes it's downright annoying. But it does not hamper the activity on the floor, where Jason and Donovan suck, rim and fuck their well-lighted brains out. Jason tops, and he works hard at it.
    Handsome, long-haired Luca Alexander is paired with Marcos Pirelli in the next scene. The set has been modified and the lighting is more subdued, but it's still a one-ring sex circus. At the beginning of the scene, all the music and street sounds are suspended so that you have only the sounds of Luca getting his throat stuffed to listen to. Then the guys trade roles and you get to listen to Marcos getting his tonsils stroked. There's no rimming here, just a well-shot fuck with Luca getting his pretty buns plowed.
    The next scene is two-in-one. Luca is sucking Donovan on a simple elevated stage made of bare two-by-fours. Down in the circus ring, Jason Crew is reclining on a couch, getting sucked by Daniel Flynt. Trent Atkins is standing alongside the couch, getting his cock yanked by Crew. When the action on the platform turns to Donovan fucking Luca, Jason takes over fucking Trent on the sofa. When Luca and Donovan hop down from the scaffolding, it officially becomes an orgy. Donovan takes a turn fucking Trent and everyone squirts.
    Cover model Brant Moore is paired with Jayden Holloway — this makes at least the third time they've filmed a scene together — for the closer. Each of them gives his oral cavity a good stretch, and they add some hot kissing to the mix of sucking, rimming and fucking, employing a couple of intricate positions, too.
    The best thing about On the Downlow is its fresh faces. Donovan is the kind of guy-next door you'd like to kick back with over a beer or two and see what develops. And voluptuous Luca Alexander could have stepped right out of an Aztec history mural.
    The DVD has a star index (fetish menus), slide show, trailers, Web info.
