"80 grand," the fugitive says of his plan in the trailer. The clip follows the story of real-life fugitive Jason Derek Brown (played by Tom Pelphrey) as he plots an elaborate scheme to get himself out of trouble. The official synopsis describes Brown as "a charismatic con man turned party king," who, when his funds run out, must turn to his most intense scheme yet, which lands himself on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list. "The Descent" is a wild tension filled ride.The actor stars as an FBI agent after one of America's most wanted in the intense American Murderer trailer. Shauna Macdonald and Natalie Mendoza are awesome. "The Descent" has to be one of the most gory horror movies with realistic violenceand I am not a big horror fan. The unveiled details involving the cave creatures regarding their possible evolution is a nice touch. Marshall maintains a claustrophobic feel and keeps us on edge. All the performances are strong throughout. MacDonald is powerful and believable in Sarah's emergence as a heroic presence. Mendoza's Juno warrior spirit is consistent and engagingshe is the brash leader. Rather it gets you thinking: "Would I do the same?" Sarah (Macdonald) and Juno (Mendoza) in particular emerge as forces to be reckoned with. Somehow while they are thrashing and being thrashed by the fierce creatures, it is all strangely believablestrangely. The women are authentically terrified, and fight with all their courage and heart amidst their overwhelming fear. No one screams, "Take that you, Mother F-!" Granted Marshall may have intended his story as an empowerment allegory. My bud Robert keenly pointed out that what really works in "The Descent" is that it never evolves into a trite action movie. Marshall masterfully orchestrates the mood and tension. So the women are literally in the fight for their lives.

They are lost without a clue how to get out, and they are being hunted by terrifying fleshing eating creatures. Not surprisingly, the cave exploration goes horribly wrong. The women proceed, and are undeterred by the telltale signs of mysterious animal carcasses. The trip starts out curious enough when Juno (Mendoza) discards her map of the caves. Those along for the ride include Becca (Saskia Mulder), Sam (MyAnna Buring), and Holly (Nora-Jane No one). Juno sees this trip as an opportunity to empower Sarah. Apparently, Juno regrets not being there for Sarah following her personal tragedy and recovery. The 6 women are gearing up for a cave exploration trip headed by Juno (Natalie Mendoza). A year later, Sarah and her close friend Beth (Alex Reid) join up with the gang at a cabin in the Appalachians. Following that trip, Sarah (Shauna MacDonald) suffers a life altering tragedy. The prior thrill-seeking jaunt for the group was a white water rafting trip. Fortunately, director Marshall effectively pretexts the story. As I watched the women one by one crawl through the tiny water filled crevice to enter the caverns somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, I thought, "How are they going to get back? They've got to be nuts!" Well, you just have to go with it. Writer and Director Neil Marshall's "The Descent" crafts and sustains an unrelenting tension throughout, once you get past the suspended disbelief. After watching "The Descent", my bud Robert and I decided that spelunking would now come off both our "To Do" listsfor good.
