Before the end of 2001, Rosario Dawson managed to appear in three more movies: Sidewalks of New York, Trigger Happy and Chelsea Walls, an Ethan Hawke production. Rosario Dawson was also in Love In the Time of Money to multi-million dollar blockbusters like Men in Black II and The Adventures of Pluto Nash, the gangster flick Ash Wednesday and Spike Lee's The 25th Hour.
