Rosario Dawson stars in this rape revenge story about a timid college freshman who keeps tabs on her rapist while falling in with a seedy crowd who inspire her method of revenge. Descent is a slow burn that tested my patience, that is until the final fifteen minutes, when the rapist becomes the rapee. And when you think it might be over, it ain’t. I wish the rest of the movie were as provocative and interesting as the final act. I especially would like to have seen more of the relationship between Dawson and a bad-boy character named Adrian (Marcus Patrick). But as uneven as it may be, Descent is hard to shake. With Chad Faust. Directed by Talia Lugacy.
