Rosario Dawson is a ground-breaking producer and brilliant for taking on such a tough subject matter. The cinematography could have been better but... fter the production ended up having two directors of photography, this look of the film speaks volumes about why having a great crew can be so powerful in delivering a quality project. Dawson is a very intelligent actor and had a mediocre script to deal with in my opinion. I hope people go and see this film on DVD because one has to stay and watch the movie to the end to fully appreciate the true nature of the revenge in this film. I think this film will be a sleeper hit on DVD and those reviewers who walked out missed a very powerful film since the ending surely makes up for any lack of dialog as complained by by some of the other reviewers. Get the DVD and sit back and be shocked. Full Review

It's been a while since we saw a demagogic feminist exploitation revenge drama, and Descent, while top-heavy with ''agenda,'' is shrewdly done.Full Review

It's a lot like a '70s exploitation movie, with its determination to seduce and shock the viewer with alternating currents of electrical stimulus, and its weird combination of arty arch-decadence and neo-Victorian moralizing.Full Review

Hard to watch but essential to see, Descent is at once realistic and rhetorical, and driven throughout by righteous anger that comes from an honest place.Full Review

Though a clearly gifted new filmmaker, Lugacy doesn't get a handle on the combustible material, and she gets scalded in the process.Full Review
