Beaten By A Billionaire stars Lexi Belle and Misty Stone as Demon Hawk and Angel Hawk: Two superheroines sent on a mission to find billionaire and weapons dealer Randall Blake, and apprehend him so he stops funding all the super-villains of the world. Our heroines think this'll be an easy tasks, but soon find that the billionaire has super powers of his own! This coupled with the many weapons and gadgets at his disposal means that the girls may be in for the fight of their lives, and will not come out unscathed, but could our heroines run free of the many horrors that lie in Randall's mind? Let's find out!
And the first thing I liked about this film is its deep mythology, that (if like me you're in tune with Superheroine World's previous releases) is not only a welcoming sign, but also if you aren't too savvy with their films, this brief intro will so perfectly and swiftly tell you everything you need to know, and most importantly why the main villain is so vital to every villain to come before and after him. This not only raises interest for us, but also the stakes for our heroines, and we're rooting for them without even meeting them yet.
Which brings me to the heroines themselves, and both Lexi Belle and Misty Stone do a fantastic job at further establishing these heroines as not only ones of ungodly beauty, but of fiery attitudes and stern, assertive personalities, oozing confidence and cock-suredness from the first frame in which they appear on our screen, holding their hips proudly, in the sexiest and most effeminate way possible.
Another thing that I love about our heroines is their costumes, both visually mirroring each other, with Misty's being a white suit with black features and Lexi's being the opposite, (one could also argue that this is a subliminal nod to the fact that the group itself is bi-racial). I also not only love the simple yet pleasing to the eye style of these costumes, but also the tight fitting fabric, complimenting the petite yet often curvaceous shapes of both actresses. Especially Lexi's which is made of constricting, wet-look faux leather and is mesmerizingly shiny, clinging to her buxom chest like a second skin. Whilst also having a HUGE midriff so to give us a peak at Lexi's incredibly toned belly.
And as far as the pace is concerned, this film moves at an alarming rate once our simple and quick exposition is out of the way, and this is just how I like my heroine films; we're thrown straight into the action, then it isn't long before things take an aggressively sexual turn. With this some films could take this rip roaring pace (a lot like my previous film I reviewed), and then use it to skip on important factors like character development and story progression. Yet, this film makes sure to have all those exhilarating features intact, but with the added attention to lore, relationships and struggles within our heroines.
The close bond between both our heroines is highlighted in an absolutely genius moment where Demon Hawk sees Angel Hawk (Misty Stone) off-screen being beaten within an inch of her life, and without ever seeing it, we just have to judge by the look on Lexi's face, and it is a look of both deep worry and helplessness for her friend. This is something that even in the most developed of heroine protagonists we seldom see, let alone see done so artfully, we owe this moment mostly to Lexi's fantastic acting capabilities.
The fighting itself is incredibly well choreographed, each actor (especially our villain played by Tommy Pistol) puts absolutely everything into these scenes, and each one shows agility and pure talent during these complex yet ever so easy to follow fights. Another small touch that I absolutely adored was the cutting of the music as soon as our villain grabbed Demon Hawk's (Lexi's) crotch, showing a sudden shift in tone and direction for both our antagonist and the film.
The soundtrack itself is very quick paced, nicely produced and has an almost oriental vibe, working perfectly with the martial arts styles used mostly by our villain, but also the type of fighting involved in general is one you'd see in a great, old martial arts film.
The direction, much like the fighting is both slick and incredibly professional, using a frenzied, hand-held style that is assured and steady. While perfectly keeping the pace, it doesn't ever disorientate or un-engage though, not even a little bit. It also keeps a masterful attention to detail throughout even the most hectic of moments, amplifying both the action and the sex equally.
Then as the film becomes even more sexually driven, which is something that never lets up, or gives you time to think before moving into more overwhelmingly titillating new plateaus with each sequence. We get the pinnacle of both girls acting abilities as they're groped, spank and beaten mercilessly, squealing and moaning to such pitches that the sounds become true ear candy, and I could literally listen forever, making both girls master provocateurs in this way.
Another sequence that creeps right up on us is one of genius peril (now knowing how deep our heroines friendship lies). Lexi is spanked on top of Misty, so she has to endure the feeling of her friend being spanked on top of her (by default gyrating incandescently on top of her). Then Randall (Tommy) pulls Lexi down even further, and makes her do the unthinkable, peeling Misty's outfit aside and forcing Lexi's face into her pussy. This has now got to be one of my all-time favourite heroine sequences, it has so much potential to it, and has been ingeniously conceived. The performances of both girls shine once again, as Lexi screams in disgust, muffled by her friends pussy, while Misty cries "Help!" at the top of her voice in protest.
I would say that a lot of this (while helped incredibly by both the direction and performances) is chocked up to the writing, which is beyond fantastic, the writers are able to foresee the best possible situation, to give the best peril and obstacles for our heroines, then they meet every bit of potential that these situations could bring, and then some.
Although one gripe I have is that I'd most definitely protest against the use of the prosthetic during the blowjob scene, while again the scenario is played out with pure mastery, and ends on the most beautifully twisted note, it is very, very obvious that a prosthetic is being used and I would've either preferred the real thing or an obscuring of the act more-so, so that we can just assume she's giving him the real thing and we cannot see for sure to know. But this is only a small scene and an even smaller gripe.
We then move onto the last sex scene, which further develops on themes hinted at near the beginning of the film, most specifically Demon Hawk's feeling of helplessness towards Angel Hawk when she really needs it, again the pleating look that Lexi gives during this most pivotal and important moment for her as a character, and a most arduous humiliation for her friend is the most gorgeously bitter note to end the film on.
So overall, this is film is a masterpiece to me; it has all the right ingredients and they all come into play when it's most important. Our leads couldn't be more perfectly cast; each one is fit for the emotional toll needed for the situations and relationships dealt within the film, and this film features a dynamic between two characters that I've never seen so well done in a heroine film before. This emotional resonance mixed with the titillating scenarios, brutal sexuality and elegant fights/direction makes this a win/win for all heroine fans and peril fans anywhere who'd want a small dose of erotic genius to boost their day. So, with that being said I'd most definitely recommend this film.
