Descent (2007)

Revenge is not always sweet.
This is a sandwich film. There is something on both ends, but the middle is a disappointment. So, what you get is a 15-20 minute film that lasts over a hundred. This is particularly painful as the lighting was atrocious, and the sound was weak.
Maya (the lovely Rosario Dawson) is date-raped and descends into a sort of depressive state that leads to alcohol and drugs. That's the whole middle of the film where she ends up moody and club hopping until she decides to get her life together and go back to graduate school. It is there as a teaching assistant, that she confronts the rapist (Chad Faust) again, and, it appears, that she is going to resume the relationship like nothing ever happened.
Surprise! She has something else in mind. She enlists the aid of Marcus Patrick to get her revenge. The setup is sweet, but the actual revenge borders on pornographic. Just as the rape was brutal, so was the ending.
No, despite two sex scenes, you see nothing of Rosario.

Ben, Ben, Ben...they weren't sex scenes, they were RAPE scenes, to show T&A would kind of take away from the horror of such a traumatic experience.
I was personally a bit too disturbed by the movie, but thought the individual performances were impressive, it made for a realistic movie for me. |
