Movie Review: Code Of Honor (2013, Digital Playground)

Reviewed by John Beutler

Often, over the years, in peering behind the green door, so to speak, at the countless barrage of 'copycat' offerings that make up a good part of 'cinema de erotica'...specifically, those based upon...uh, well...let's face it, folks...outright copied from higher profile concept films, or the latest motion picture blockbusters, one might haplessly fall victim to a good number of such, which...despite the incorporative melding of expected eroticism and sexual spice...just don't seem to work, conceptually. However, on occasion, a cleverly conceived and downright erotically sexy coupling of high-concept-inspired, blatantly over-the-lines traced, rendering of such attributed adult entertainment DOES shimmer through; such is the case, with the (...conventional, and...well, not so conventional) blazing guns of 2013's outrageous 'search and rescue' sex epic, "Code of Honor"...

A French drug-dealing moll, Manuel, is living the high life, amidst a coastal cottage, replent with big guns, a mountain of cash, and a poolside bevy of buxom beautiful babes. After a smoking hot, heated bedroom tussle with two of the gals, Manuel is abruptly besieged by two armed, albeit bikini-clad, undercover agents, masquerading as part of his sexy poolside entourage. Out of desperation, and with guns-a'blazin', Manuel blasts his way out of the cottage, and makes a fast getaway, taking one of the beautiful undercover operatives with him as hostage, and leaving the other...the leader of this covert mission...holding the bag, to explain to her superior, why the operation went sour...


After a most lashing and heated debriefing, our fearless leader...who in fact, proves to be THE leader of a secret underground covert group of special operatives...calls together her old team, in an effort to rescue the captive associate, and put an end to Manuel's reign of corruption. Naturally, each of the team's sexy undercover operatives...each living secret lives, until such time that they are called upon...are singularly skilled in combat tactics...explosives, guns, flight and sniper expertise, etc...as well as being quite well adept in certain supplemental undercover...or rather, under-the-covers attributes. Once together, they covertly fly in for the rescue, laying siege upon Manuel's secret jungle hideaway...with guns, blasting away. Will they save their fellow cohort in time?? And what of Manuel?? How exactly will he answer for his crimes?? How indeed...

Clocking in at...WOW...was that actually 2 1/2 hours..."Code of Honor"...clearly an erotically charged, alternate-gender-rendering knock-off of "The Expendables"...is a surprisingly engaging and well-produced, albeit elatingly exhausting piece of adult entertainment...and well, let's face it...it's downright white-hot, flame-molten sexy, too. From the opening, multi-player sex volley (...where the guy, amusingly enough, almost pulls off a 'wink-wink' Sly Stallone accent...with merely grunts and groans), to a s-s-s-s-searing, deliciously disciplinary encounter with one of the undercover operatives, at the library (...encouraging that more books be kept overtime, and brought in for late dues...and such subsequent punishment), and culminating in a six-on-one orgy, which has to be seen, to be believed...the intimately performed love-making is quite intimately passionate, exciting and oh-so fiery. In fact, there are moments in these varied scenes, which are so erotically convincing and passionate...it almost seems that, at any moment, the ohhhhh-sooooo vocally sincere, sweat drenched participants are going to spontaneously combust, right then and there...but then, what a way to go, right??

The overall production value of this well armed, well aimed and heavily arousing excursion, is genuinely superior to most productions of it's kind...measurably campy, but not TOO campy, and just the right balance of hyper-charged sex, drama and action; in engaging this exceptionally produced film, one might be very easily reminded of the classic, international soft-core sex-romp actioners, once produced by cult filmmaker Andy Sidaris...albeit, with a much more tantalizing preponderance of skin and spice. Although this viewer is more privy of the golden age of the '70's, as far as classic adult entertainment, and the ensuing star power therein...and thusly, relatively unfamiliar with the all-star cast of "Code of Honor", which reputedly includes many of today's superstars of adult films, like Selena Rose, Kayden Kross, Jesse Jane, Bibi Jones, Tommy Gunn, Riley Steele, Tasha Reign and Brooklyn Lee...I have to readily admit, this amusingly name-registered roster of talent definitely bears further watching, in whatever else they perform in...and as far as director Robby 'D'...well, in engaging this recent production of his, it most assuredly warrants this viewer's immediate and further examination of his past work. A magnificent and erotically satisfying piece of work...Most Definitely Recommended...
