In "Descent," acclaimed actress Rosario Dawson plays the most controversial character of her career: a promising college student who becomes bent on seeking revenge after a shocking act of sexual violence is committed against her.

Movie Review
Grade: B+
For starters, Descent is not The Descent, the kick-ass horror movie about demon creatures who eat a bunch of women in caves. Descent (no "the") is Rosario Dawson's latest edgy film, and it's one f**ked up film. [Note: Smart people will figure out the spoilers in this review, but I can't go this whole review with talking about the messed up stuff that happens.]
