TBL-087 - NTR: Left Alone with a Fake Friend

For an NTR film, the pacing is way too rushed. I wish they had planned the development more carefully. However, the scene where she calls out the other guy's name while climaxing was good. Also, the ending where the guy suggests meeting again is a nice touch, so maybe they should make a sequel based on that... If they do, I hope they focus on a tighter story, immersion, and realism.

It seems to be based on a source material, but this is my opinion as someone who hasn't seen it. First, the buildup to the NTR is way too long, and the video starting with the husband's email is confusing because it turns out the NTR guy is the one filming it—it's inconsistent and hard to follow. The play itself, like the feeling of being slowly broken down and the intense thrusting after teasing, was very good. However, you can't hear the voices. You have no idea what the wife is refusing or what she's nodding to; it's fatal. The thrill of NTR is completely lost. Maybe it's because they stuck to a fixed 'hidden camera' style throughout, but there are so many amateur mistakes—people walking in the background, dropping things, and even random zooming—that I doubt a professional made this. If they had a decent technician, it could have been a much better production.

I'm a huge fan of the original work, and despite having a bad feeling, I bought it—but it completely failed to capture the atmosphere or the eroticism of the original. The camera angles were awkward, and it lacked the vibe of the novel entirely; even as a standalone piece, there's nothing to see. The mid-point scene where the massage turns into foreplay felt devoid of any sense of 'moral corruption' from the actress, so I couldn't tell what she was trying to portray. The original scene is about slowly breaking someone down over time, so forcing it into a standard AV-style foreplay session just didn't work. I usually like Prestige, but after this, I'll be watching from the sidelines for a while.

The plot involves tricking a wife into being NTR'd by a man recruited online, posing as a friend. The 'friend' starts with a massage and gradually moves to sex, ending with the husband returning and having sex with her. The original story is 'Ore-kun, A-san, and B-chan.' There's 40 minutes of the two men planning and the three of them eating before the massage even starts. While such scenes are necessary for NTR, this is way too long. With only 120 minutes total and the final sex scene with the husband lasting only 10 minutes (effectively only one sex scene), it's poorly paced. They should have made it 150 minutes to properly film the final scene or include an epilogue. The core NTR sex is also generic (despite some nods to the original). It's just a standard massage-to-sex video. Fans of the original will be disappointed, and newcomers will be confused. The actress moans too much (like a typical AV). I wish she had acted more realistically. Given this, I hope they do a better job with the next one, 'Tatsuya and Misaki'.
