i rent this movie simply because rosario dawson be in it . i sit down to watch it with my buddy and 6 minute in we be glue to our seat . not because of any intensity in those 6 minute and but because it be a real film . no hollywood b and no explosion and no corny one liner while film . it draw you in slowly and reel you toward a tragically human fate . some people think they enjoy film but they be sadly mistake . they like movie while mindless entertainment for entertainment sake alone . michael bay transformer and the like be produce for just this audience . no need to think people and just watch and allow ever stereotype we can muster to slowly dissolve your brain . we will even place advertisement throughout the movie and to keep you buy our product . and do not forget the explosion and we all love explosion . here we make the distinction and art can be entertaining and but it also think provoke and move you in hidden way . entertainment be rarely artful and even then only arbitrarily . movie be entertainment . descent be a film . film be art . if you still house a soul within your walk meat sack apparatus and this rape scene be every bit as powerful a irreversable . the distinction here be that irreversable be a violent rape scene involve two people whose path have unfortunately cross at the wrong time and hell ensue . descent be about date rape . no less disgust . no less deprave . just different . this be about trust violation and soul desecration and the scar that run deep . have the character maya be consent it would have be a hot sex scene . but see a she be desperate to escape and the scene be sicken . jar be a sick and manipulative serial rapist and and it wholly unsettle because it so closely resemble a passionate love affair . how could maya ever be close to anyone again when even in the midst of rap her jared slick lover boy facade only ever hint at slip . she be ruin . the film a a whole be beautiful . the camera work and lighting at time remove the surroundings and focus everything on maya and the silent inner working of her mind . all this accomplish by rosario with facial expression and gesture . the soundtrack be excellent and a blend of everything . my particularly favorite scene be a synchronism of all these film aspect work together while maya dance in a sea of writhe body and something inside her awakening and become aware and all set to a beautifully sad jeff buckley tune . i do not think i have really spoil anything here but i be stop before i do . bottom line and i think this be the best film of 2007 and hand down . unfortunately it seem that everyone be so jaded these day that if you do not hack and slash and gang rape and or nuke anything then people just can not be bother . death isn not the bad thing that can happen to you . it only the last thing that will happen in this existence . the bad thing that happen never leave you . they be always in your thought . when you shower while when you brush your teeth while when you buy a christmas present and when you tie your shoe while they haunt you . they haunt you until that last thing release you . treat yourself . challenge yourself . watch this film .
