Down

Movie • 2002 • Action  

Report
After the elevators at a New York City skyscraper begin inexplicably malfunctioning, putting its passengers at risk, mechanic Mark Newman (James Marshall) and reporter Jennifer Evans (Naomi Watts) begin separate investigations. Newman gets resistance from superiors at his company, which manufactured the elevator, while additional elevator incidents cause several gruesome deaths. The police get involved and suspect that terrorists are responsible, but a far stranger explanation looms.

Skip from 26:05 to 27:15 to miss the entire scene.

Also, skip 34:12 through 34:25

The dog’s body is graphically shown later.

A woman accuses a man of rape to try and get out of being thrown out. The rape never happens or anything close, she's just trying to get the security guards to put her down.

Yes but not a major character. You see a woman (presumably the mother) holding desperately to her child's hand in a scene where the elevator floor opens up. Both do not make it.
