Hannah Harper is an investigative journalist who throws herself into her research. So when she decides to tackle the world of street prostitution, will she lose herself in the story?
Further, is she getting too old for this? Does she need one last score before she goes legit, opening a little place down in Mexico? Does she still have a few friends on the force? Is she part of a crack team of misfits?
Hookers is a well-thought-out piece of pornography from a director who thinks he’s going to Hell anyway but can’t help but sweat a little blood over what in someone else’s hands might be a run of the mill porno.
Typing while wearing a caamisole (it’s freeing), Harper explains how from her first encounter with a street prostitute, asking Penny Flame about the basics of servicing a john, Harper felt she might lose control.
In a funny opening scene that sort of plows over Flame’s stoner-girl rantings, Flame takes on a customer in an alley. We suspend disbelief for a while as Flame does everything possible for a hundred bucks. Flame provides her fellow with what people in the service industry call a GFE.
But what of Harper? Well, “the article was a huge success. Every time someone reminded me of it I found myself getting wet.” Cue masturbation scene.
See? Power of the printed word, folks.
Next time out, Harper explores the world of massage parlors. She is apprenticed to Cassie Young, who services Billy Glide in a clean, well-lit room. Like in the previous scene, Harper flees as the couple get it on. Can she not handle the truth that massage parlors are but thin facades on brothels?
Harper then finds an escort online who specializes in girl/girl shows. From there, despite already having enough material for another article, she goes to a private sex party.
“I wanted to learn why men feel more comfortable being dirty with prostitutes than with their wives or girlfriends,” she explains, sad that the men are more interested in fellow blonde Harmony than Harper. “They seemed to like her direct approach,” Harper says.
When Harper finally finds a man who will be attracted to her for her body and ignore her mind, finally the voiceovers stop, but she had to supplant Hailey Young to do it.
What is DCypher trying to tell us?
“Sooner or later we all need to embrace our inner whore.”
I will be suing DCypher for appropriating my worldview.
