My only surprise in watching Wicked's flat and uninteresting drama "Making Amends" is that star Randy Spears didn't win any awards for his lousy performance. Yes, Adult Industry awards have been traditionally reserved for high-profile talent doing poor work.
He plays a thoroughly unlikeable character: grumpy, cheating on his bombshell wife (contract star Mikayla) with a couple of mistresses, and unhelpful to any of his clients. So he gets into a car accident while driving sleepily at night, and much of the second half of the film is presented as sort of a "dying flash" while the viewer awaits, bored out of his or her gourd, the outcome.
Uncredited script is tired and very poorly developed, as we watch not only the inevitable quota of sex scenes, including extraneous ones not properly set up in the story, but the supposed transformation of Randy's character. Kirsten Price as Randy's secretary comes closest to having an actual role to play, while fellow contract stars Alektra Blue and Brad Armstrong add only their XXX prowess to the proceedings.
Direction by cameraman Francois Clousot is lousy, especially the frequent light flashes to signify Randy's chronic headaches following the crash, almost prompting a real headache for yours truly. With Brad in the cast and fellow superstar director at Wicked Pictures, one Jonathan Morgan as editor one wonders why this junker was relegated to Clousot to clunk up.
