Rosario Dawson blasted an ignorant movie fan at a recent screening of her harrowing new rape film after he suggested her character was "really rough" on her attacker.

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 violence is committed on her.

Rosario Dawson has kept a promise to an old drama school friend - by starring in her first film about a date rape victim. Dawson also signed on to produce Talia Lugacy’s hard-hitting movie, Descent, which has become one of the year's must-see independent films.
