love rosario dawson and think she one of the fine actress of the modern era . descent seem to be more about self empowerment than anything else . it the consistent undertone in everything in the film . the dialog be flat and the character seemingly intentionally bland and one side . the only consistency be the representation of self empowerment in the character and rosario journey from self empowerment to loss of empowerment and back again . pitch this a a rape classic isn not appropriate and and that probably why so many people do not enjoy the film . the standard rape audience wouldn not particularly like this film and and maybe that the point . the film ask more question than it answer and and it do confront it target audience and whether they like it or not . there a compelling relationship between the character and the target audience and while the film doesn not slap the audience across the face with self righteous audacity it do engage the viewer for what may or may not be and all the wrong reason . descent be a good film which imho be severely under rat .
