Screwing Wall Street

I watched coincidentally the same evening as this turkey a video "Inside Amy Fisher" which launched the non-career of another momentary celebrity turned porn artiste. Veronica Vain offers even less as a potential Adult Entertainment performer who previously interned on Wall St. in NYC.

With both Manuel Ferrara and Kayden Kross directing her (and co-starring too), Vain lives up to her stage name by appearing in all four of the feature's sex vignettes. She undresses and humps with routine skills, and has no distinctive visual hook or personality to "sell" as a showbiz entity. Lousy script (credited to Kayden) doesn't help.

As usual with contemporary porno losers, it's pegged as a "parody", a category where poor videos go to die. In this case, the only parody occurs late in the show when Vain recites Gordon Gecko's famous "Greed is good" speech from the classic Oliver Stone film, and it falls entirely flat in a porn context.

Elsewhere she's merely a double-dealing schemer, not likely to qualify for a remake of Mankiewicz' "All About Eve" but merely exploiting the masters of the world she encounters in the brokerage game. Her evil boss played by guest star Stoya assigns her to get inside info on an escort service type Adult website for the purposes of illegal stock manipulation. Confusing me at least, the website is included in the video's title as an IPO, but it is already being traded during the time-frame of the story, not being initially launched. Making matters worse, the end credits state that the film was "sponsored by Arrangement Finders", as if this poor excuse for porn were merely a product plug for a real-live hookup website which to my surprise actually exists.

Vain screws Stoya by hooking up with the enemy she's supposed to bamboozle, haughty Street magnate Manuel Ferrara, who like many other lead actors here impresses with rat-at-tat delivery of jargon and commands, attempting to pretend this is a real movie -not Howard Hawks, but fast-talking at any rate. She literally screws both of them, accounting for two of the show's sex scenes.

The double-crossing isn't very interesting, nor is anything else here, as we are treated to sub-Stone venality, and oddly enough less arousing sexuality (in context) than even Scorsese's soft-core porn "The Wolf of Wall Street". Let's put it this way - with the big end-of-2015 film being "The Big Short" it is rather depressing to see a topic (stock manipulation) that is potentially engrossing and even exciting dramatic material presented with such dullness as Kayden & Manuel have done. The frequent flashbacks and a stupid sequence starring Mick Blue as a corporate lawyer are quite extraneous and poor filmmaking. In fact the Mick Blue vignette turns out to be one of those nauseating "only a dream" sequences.

There are plenty of cameos by Adult talent, all wasted.
