Ken Ryker. He's gorgeous in that golden all-American masculine manner - muscular, tall, hung, hot to look at. Unfortunately, he is a terrible porn actor who can barely get his cock hard much less fuck in a convincing manner. There is actually a very sweet love story in The Renegade but while Mr Ryker may look the part of a macho biker stud, he doesn't perform adequately to keep up the steam. His partner-in-crime Hal Rockland is adorable as usual and he is much better in his sex scenes.

This is the story of our two men who meet when Hal asks Ken for a ride on Ken's Harley. They soon end up having all kinds of sexual hijinks with other people, but it is only towards the end when Hal tells Ken that he has fallen for Ken. Ken however isn't the kind of guy who will settle down with a man and when Ken finally realizes what he has lost, it is most likely too late for him to get Hal back.

Make no mistake, Mr Ryker is extremely easy on his eyes. His taut buttocks and his muscular tapering back are very nice indeed to look at when he gets dressed after fucking a mechanic that has fixed his bike. The sex scenes where he is involved, however, are very perfunctory where much of the excitement is generated by the overly-forced squeals of the bottom to pretend that Mr Ryker is a much better lover than his lame thwack-thwack-thwack mechanically pumping hips would suggest.

But the biggest disappointment is the fact that Ken Ryker and Hal Rockland never did get it on with each other. Maybe this is during their weird "God is the only person who can get inside my body" phase, I suppose, but the movie has been building up to their supposedly earthshattering sex scene... and all I get is some 69 action? Still, the sight of Mr Ryker humping his cock against Mr Rockland's, the sight of their nicely-honed bodies rubbing against each other, Mr Ryker's taut bubble butt in the air just waiting for a God-approved Holy Cock of the Ghost to roger him thoroughly until he discovers religion - now that's hot indeed. Call me odd but the sight of Ken Ryker thrusting his cock against Hal Rockland's, making Mr Rockland's cock rock hard in the process, as Mr Rockland enthusiastically nibble and suckle at Ken Ryker's shoulder is the hottest scene in this movie for me.

I'd love to see those two go at it until they come and all those creamy juices spill all over their crotches and thighs, but alas, instead those two separate so that they no longer touch each other for the unimaginative "let's whack off until we come with our hands" scene. With two incredibly flaccid dicks in the scene. Is the fluffer on medical leave for tonsillitis or something? Even when the two men come, there is no physical contact between them. Therefore, we have moved from a very sensual erotic full body contact scene to a perfunctionary jack-off scene in the blink of an eye. The director must be a complete idiot to break the heat and the momentum of the scene like this. At least make the two men jack each other off! Have them come at each other's face or better still, into each other's open mouth!

The Renegade is a mixed bag of mixed opportunities, with shockingly inept sex scene dynamics that often cut away from genuinely erotic moments to perfunctionary and formulaic unerotic scenes. Then again, perhaps this movie already missed many opportunities when it allows to over-the-hill gay porn stars to be cast in this movie when they could barely muster a decent erection on camera anymore. This is a strictly for fans movie, which is a pity because the script is actually a romantic love story in its core.

Rating: C-
