How to order

In the dead of winter, an Eastern European army platoon takes over a country cottage while recruits endure a rigorous outdoor training exercise identified in subtitles as "orienteering." This involves breakneck dashes through snow-mottled woods, and plenty of yelling. At the opening, when two young soldiers (Adam Gervay and Rick Bauer) disgrace themselves by getting lost, the whole platoon is punished. They're put through an afternoon of calisthenics led by a drill sergeant (Roberto Giorgio), who barks such commands as "Well, my sons, crouching!," "Do it hard, boys!," and "Down with your ass! Down with your ass!"

In periods between running and yelling and crouching and crawling, members of the unit bond, shoot the breeze, eat wieners, sip Heinekens in manly fashion, drop their pants, slobber over one another's fat, uncut dicks, and fuck. Adam Gervay, as a soulful, dewy-eyed lad who was raised in an orphanage, draws indulgent notice from superiors; he may be klutzy, but he wants to learn a soldier's ways. "I think he wants to show it," someone says. And so he does, in the final scene, when he reports to Giorgio for a dressing-down and ends up undressed.

The five sex scenes­ three threesomes, two twosomes­ occupy most of 143 minutes. (Bang of Brothers runs half an hour longer than the box would have you believe.) These models' sexual shenanigans are unexpectedly lively and shimmer with lust. Roberto Giorgio, who often appears in videos cranked out by Hungarian porn hack Csaba Borbély (he was the Sultan's wayward boyfriend in Lovers of Arabia), appears in three sex episodes and several bits requiring acting skills, and, under the direction of Tom Bradford, turns in his best work to date. Could "Tom Bradford" be a pseudonym Borbély uses when he decides to buckle down and direct?
