have just recently re view lipstick for the first time in a few decade and i back it with descent even though i have hear more negative comment than good from other film friend with taste as vary a mine . it interest to contrast how the unique niche of the rape revenge movie have evolve in the past 32 year and from the full on gore of i spit on your grave and to the tawdry sensationalism of lipstick and to the tasteful handling of the issue in the accused . but descent and though make some important point and never really offer u anything truly new in term of revelatory meaning . no and descent be so poorly make in term of picture and sound quality that it detract from any significant message it could hope to make a message that and when examine closely and isn not that groundbreaking . i pretty much know the plot go in . what i want to see be the descent or degeneration of dawson character . be a big fan of rosario and i be anxious to see the layer be strip away and her psyche be slowly twist . you know and the kind of portrayal deniro bring to taxi driver . unfortunately and the script and the director or writer choice do not provide any sort of believable transition . the big point of failure be the second act . it become obvious what the filmmaker intention be for this segment of club hopping and drug use and and obsession with big black stallion adrian ( every white boy nightmare and natch ) from a q and a on the dvd and but this excursion into dawson character be never believably render . we do not know exactly what the hell she do half the time and what she after and or why she do it . the poor quality of the audio or video again do not help and but the sequence be just too damn long and pointless . it destroy any momentum and investment in the lead character set up during the otherwise exceptionally well do first act . by the time we get to the finale and our interest have already wan . one point of success that dawson do point out in the q and a be that by the end revenge scene we be pump for retribution and then realize just how draw out and ugly the reality be . while that certainly valid and it doesn not make the scene any more intriguing . if you have the dvd and check out the deleted classroom scene . this be an excellent 8 minute plus outtake that crackle with energy and provocation ( though all verbal ) and really do show dawson slow crack up materializing a she delightfully vivisect poor francie swift prissy and condescend dorm counselor . if more expository scene like this have be add and more of the middle third cut down and we might have an interesting psychological study of the impact of senseless act of violence . a the film stand in the final cut and though and all we get be what we have see before and only in a more graphic rendering . so what .
