A Descent in the Ratings

I found this movie to be a slow burner in some ways - and not the good way either. It was so slow i had to fast forward to speed it up! As far as genre goes it had nothing of anything really. Suspense? Bore Thriller? Bore Drama? Bore. I found myself fast forwarding long minutes of dark clubs scenes with the usual crappy music playing and stoned out junkies drinking and soft porn dancing. The dialogue was terrible written by novice writers, that was clear and never once did i feel engaged as a viewer. And again, the music was such downer, just a turn off. Dawson is a beautiful woman with great acting chops, but there was no way she could save this mess. Is it normal for a rape/revenge movie to put you to sleep? I'll give it a 3 just for RD and that's it i can't think of anything else this movie had that would give the paying viewer any excitement at all. Bought this movie at a $2 bargin bin - i got ripped.
