In Double Cross, Christian Taylor plays a blond, baby-faced sociopath (named Angel, naturally) fresh out of prison, who takes over a criminal gang, masterminds a robbery, and leaves his cohorts holding the bag (after a big orgy scene, of course). The meat of the story has Taylor putting the screws to his former prison punk (Tommy Lord), who has ambitions of playing top now that he's out. Angel puts him firmly back in his place, not only stealing Lord's boyfriend but sending Lord out to service a mean ex-con (Lex Kyler) in the video's hottest scene. Lord's quivering submissiveness is completely convincing, especially when Angel telephones him in the middle of his humiliation to gloat. Director Jim Steel establishes a nasty, menacing tone early on and delivers all the way to the end. Cast: Christian Taylor, Anthony Cox, Jack Ryan, Dave Nelson, Lex Kyler, Tuck Johnson, Tommy Lord, Ben Damon
