A Bring Out the GIMP (Girls in Merciless Peril) Movie Review


Red Swallow

Reviewed by Wheelhouse


Red Swallow by Infernal Restraints

The video is an X rated version of the spy movie Red Sparrow with Alice taking on the Jennifer Lawrence role. The video, which is in two parts, concerns itself with Alice injuring herself at ballet and being recruited into the Russian secret service as in the movie, but unlike the movie that is where the video stops. She is then tortured as part of her training.

The movie had a short torture scene of JLaw which had great potential but was way too short and with an appalling lack of nudity. Red Sparrow remedies that.

Part One of Red Sparrow deals for the most part with how Alice gets injured and begins her training. Although there is some good stuff in the second half of the video, there is a recap in Part Two and you can decide for yourself, it will not be reviewed here.

Part Two is divided into five scenes of torture. The first has Alice bound in a strappado position facing a whipping post with her ankles shackled to the post, a really nice bondage position giving her just enough leeway to squirm helplessly under a whipping. She is naked save for a pair of knee-high fetish ballet boots and transparent pantyhose.

Alice is quite pretty with a slim toned body and nicely shaped breasts which might be on the small side for some but fit her body nicely. This segment starts off with her weeping in pain from her severe bondage until she is struck with the first lash. In the initial whipping, you don't see her adversary for a time but this is not a drawback as attention is focused on Alice who is soon sobbing loudly and then screaming and begging. This is a good point to say that the strongest asset in the video is Alice's reaction to her torture, physically and vocally. Can't praise her enough.

Next, the tormentor cuts through her pantyhose and goes to work on her buttocks, drawing the same wonderful cries and pleadings from Alice. The segment ends with her sobbing and begging for release alone in the darkness.

Scene two opens with Alice lying on her back on the floor encased head to toe in leather. Her arms are bound behind her back and her ankles chained together. All that one can see of her is the bottom of her blonde hair sticking out from the bottom of her full head covering. She lies quietly for about 45 seconds before a short extremely loud blast of music/sound fed into earphones sets her to writing. This pattern is repeated over and over with the short cacophony of sound blasted at her at irregular intervals so she will never know when to expect it, starts her struggling and moaning each time. This is really not my cup of tea so I was surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did. Again I have to credit the wonderful muffled sounds and words coming out of her tightly masked face.

The third scene shows us Alice bound arms overhead, naked but for those fetish boots. She is gagged by a bar tied in place around her head. She is in obvious discomfort. In a scene taken from Red Sparrow (but where JLaw is clothed and bound in a chair) she is beaten with a truncheon, the blows cushioned somewhat by a slab of cloth, I imagine to inflict pain but limit damage to the victim.

In scene four we see Alice suspended inside a barrel, a prop Infernal Restraints uses with some regularity. She hanging horizontally about five feet off the floor, her body encased in the metal drum. All that can be seen of her is her head and face sticking out of one end and her bare feet, butt, and pussy exposed outside the other. The rest of her body is scrunched down inside the barrel. Again not a posture I would favor but Alice carries her whipping off nicely. Just wished he would have paid a little more attention to the exposed soles of her feet.

The last scene shows Alice bound to a chair in the same position as JLaw in the much-circulated shot from Red Sparrow. She is, of course, naked though. After a few moments water begins pouring down on her and then we have the intermittent loud music, all in imitation of the movie. The major interest here is Alice's position in the chair with her arms pulled up and out over her head and her torso doubled over by straps that flatten her breasts to the top of her thighs. Well done. Makes one wish Infernal Restraints had produced Red Sparrow.

The last few minutes of the video show Alice demonstrating she is now compliant and will do as she is ordered, and the ever-present interview with the naked girl. The latter is short and well worth watching. I think I am in love.

Weak points:

(1) Part one is mostly a waste as far as good GIMP material is concerned. On the plus side is it is well done for a porn flick and gives some structure to part two. No need to ever watch it more than once.
(2) Although I found Alice delicious she isn't JLaw.

Strong points:

(1) Alice. The major asset. Cute as a button and suffers really stirringly.
(2) Generally well thought out and produced. Having a story structure really helps.

I give Red Swallow Part Two a solid A. One of my all-time favorites. I think the main reason for that besides Alice and generally fine production values and photography is the non-consensual context of the story. I can't argue for example that many of the girls on WoP aren't better looking and don't scream and struggle better than Alice but the context is at heart consensual. In Red Swallow, her choice to stop does not mean she has given up some money but that she will be executed.


My Grade: A
