Performer-turned-director Roland Dane has assembled an international cast as studded as a priceless necklace for "The Family Jewels." They shine and sparkle individually, but the crown jewels, the diamonds encrusted in platinum, are the performers in the final scene (a scene that makes all of these jewel puns forgivable).

Things get started with a masked man stealing jewels from an unlocked drawer. Attila Hun and Gabor Hunter try to stop him, but he knocks them out and absconds with the plunder. Attila, looking appropriately sad-sack with his massive bodybuilder frame, puppy-dog eyes and clefted chin, is very upset, since he was trusted with them, and a business deal could go sour if he doesn't get them back. The police won't get there for an hour, so reedy goateed Gabor suggests they forget their troubles in sex. Attila starts by licking around Gabor's chest with his big lapping tongue and then gets treated to the same from his partner. Gabor soon enough settles on Attila's thick stumpy cock, and the camera swoops around Attila's gloriously vascular body. Gabor's suck is hungry, and then Attila bends Gabor over to lick his nearly-shaved ass. Attila perfectly positions his face so he can get in his laps and the camera can still see it all. Attila slides two fingers into Gabor with ease and pokes around until he's primed, and then lurches at Gabor with the always-difficult sideways-fuck. They achieve a nice rhythm as Gabor smoothly takes Attila, before Attila gets into an easier stance and pokes around Gabor's ass with just the cockhead, teasing his partner. Attila, always the performer to watch in any scene, gets bent in half so that Gabor can return the sound fucking. Attila's meaty ass is more than willing to take all of Gabor. Gabor has a strong cum-shot and then Attila cums all over Gabor's foot.

Dom Camillo, the thief, takes the hot rocks to black-market pawner Giovanni Floretto. Director Dane does some very interesting things with this scene, including turning the order of the sex acts completely upside down, but starting with casting two sumptuously interesting men in it. Dom is an exceedingly handsome man with a big friendly face and wrinkled forehead, with a solid body covered in hair that in color and trim reminds one of American porn star Chris Steele's chest. Giovanni is a smooth Hungarian pretty-boy, runway gorgeous. Anyway, Giovanni doesn't offer much for the jewels, but Dom agrees to take the deal when Giovanni offers a little more along with the cash. Dom starts off the scene by fingering Giovanni's shaved muscular ass, every bit as good looking as his chiseled face. Dom goes right into fucking Giovanni, plugging away nicely, with an intense look on his face, driving in at Giovanni's admittedly tight ass. Next, Giovanni takes it missionary, which allows us to see more of his body. Dom's slow pacing gives way to Giovanni's absolute firepower ride when he mounts Dom to stuff the whole cock in his ass. After all that fucking comes the oral, and it reveals a truly unique cock, perhaps the reason Roland waited until the end to show it to us. Even when Giovanni is fully hard, his foreskin still covers his cockhead. It's insanely hot. Dom blows him, allowing us to take in this foreskin, and then Giovanni sucks on Dom with a slower more methodical approach. Dom cums on Giovanni's neck and then Giovanni blows, his foreskin STILL fully intact, the cum drops fighting to get out. The whole scene has a unique feel to it, something a little different.

Attila admits to his friend Rafael Carreras that he lost the jewels, some of which are family heirlooms of Rafael's clan. Rafael doesn't blame Attila, but wants them back. The whole scene is conducted in English (surprising for one star from Spain and the other form Hungary). Dom heads off to a bar where he finds his friends Adam Longo, a thin blond, and Peter Bizanci, a hunky brunet with a touch of hair right under his lower lip. They drink a ton of shots together, and then Dom goes home. However, Adam and Peter are entranced by the super sexy bartender, Peter Balogh, a dreamy man with a strong nose and a yummy little scar right under one of his eyes. After some flirting, he grabs and kisses Adam, and then all three end up nude and kissing. Adam stands up and allows the Peters to first work his chest and then, well, his own peter, which is massively long. Peter Bizanci has a circulating head motion that makes it very alluring, and Peter Balogh is able to do the deeper suck. They alternate for a while before Peter Balogh gets on the table so he can take Adam solo, allowing Peter Bizanci to blow his dark cock, again with that grand head motion. With Peter Balogh tirelessly sucking Adam, Adam takes the opportunity to burrow a few fingers into Peter Bizanci's ass. The Peters switch places so Adam can then work on Peter Balogh's butt. With both Peters sticking their asses out to receive Adam's huge cock, Adam decides which to plug first. He decides on Peter Balogh, who will be the more receptive of the two, though Adam has a wonderful energy that keeps the alternating fucks going very smoothly. After Adam has had his way with each man, there's a sinfully sexy man-in-the-middle fuck with Adam thrusting into Peter Bizanci doing Peter Balogh. Peter Bizanci is the hero of this section, topping and bottoming with equal flare, the camera capturing this in a series of wonderful angles. Adam then fucks Peter Balogh, Peter Bizanci standing over the bottom to be jacked off. Peter Bizanci cums on Peter Balogh's neck and chest, Peter Balogh has a good shot to his navel and Adam finishes on his bottom's crotch.

The police finally arrive at Attila's. They tell him they have found the jewels because the pawnshop owner tipped them off to Dom's thievery. Attila is thrilled, and how do you think he'll thank the cops? If rascally tiny dark Daniel Halasz and tall blondish Lajos Bekefi are reading him right, it'll be sexual. Attila indeed thanks Daniel with a kiss and then blows the two guys alternately as they kiss above him. Daniel has a perfect compact body, and Lajos a huge chest. In common, they have luscious cocks and who better than hardworking Attila to blow them? He recklessly alternates, even attempting them together at one point, an intense performer who manages to find a different style for each cock. After Daniel has fingered him appropriately, Attila parks himself on Daniel's pecker and rides gleefully as he blows Lajos. Attila is again the outstanding performer of the scene, a divine multi-tasker. After Daniel has had his time fucking, Lajos gets a chance, doing Attila doggy with Daniel's dick available for sucking. Attila's butt is tireless, but it's the wonderful blowjob the camera concentrates on through much of this fucking section. Tossing things thankfully out of order again, the cops suck Attila before standing on each side of him to drip cum all over him.

Rafael Carreras, a striking brunet beauty, has his jewels back. Speaking in English to Russian bombshell Maxim Ivanov in bed, Rafael decides Hungary is too much trouble and as he goes to kiss the somewhat Asiatic-featured Maxim, decides to move his company to Russia. And so starts the absolute best scene. Rafael and Maxim enter into this teasing tongue-lashing competition where they offer their tongues to each other and then pull them away, only to then thrust back at the other. The energy level goes way up and the intensity follows. Rafael licks every inch of Maxim's perfect body, with Maxim pulling him up back to his mouth every now and then. Rafael blows Maxim's upward-curving hook cock, with tons of care and talent, gorgeous Maxim loving the deep-throat and touching Rafael's body wherever he can reach. Rafael flips Maxim over to make the sucking a 69, as Rafael dives into Maxim's hole with his tongue. The touch of roughness here is exactly what makes the scene crackle; they are super-passionate to the point of aggressiveness. Rafael positively tongue-fucks Maxim, who gorges himself on Spanish cock as Rafael face-fucks him. Maxim gets some alone time on Rafael's gigantic dick, lustily forcing himself on it so that he literally pants, his tongue hanging out like a dog, when he takes time to breathe. After more 69, where Maxim almost hits the ultimate deep-throat, Rafael slides his cock missionary into Maxim, and rides him bronco-style, literally galloping in and out, swiveling his hips into Maxim's heavenly butt. Maxim sticks his tongue out, still begging to be kissed, and Rafael only bends down sparing to tease him more. Still inserted, Rafael falls to his side, with Maxim still on his back, and the fuck continues. Don't ask me how Rafael manages it from this position, but, man, oh man, is it hot! As for Maxim, having Rafael's full cock shoved up his ass isn't enough, and he angles for contact, whether having Rafael suck his finger, or a piercing exchanged look, or just anything. The half-sideways position is thrilling, and it leads into Maxim sitting and riding on Rafael's hugeness. Watch Maxim's pained face as he first gets on top of it, but also watch how deeply he takes it. Every darn inch, his face twitching with a "look what I can do" air about it. Rafael does most of the work from underneath, and the growling eye contact between them is almost too intense to watch. Zoned Rafael is non-stop, and Maxim works with him so well. Maxim unloads on Rafael's chest and then Rafael cums. I thought it couldn't get any hotter than these two plugging away at each other, but the sight of them cuddled up and asleep in afterglow is just about as hot.

Kudos to Roland Dane for really understanding what it takes to put together a porn flick like this. Recruiting the best talent several European countries had to offer, he has put together a supremely sexy effort, full of tantalizing camera angles, editing that is timed to perfection, and an outstanding cast. Each scene has sizzle, each model has it. Yes, it works to a fever-pitch in the unquenchable final scene, but its presence elsewhere is used to position each of these little jewels into a fantastic priceless piece.
