Restraint Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
M MALIK restraint 2008 is a terrible film all those positive reviews are fake the story,acting is no different then any C grade film releasing direct on internet.this was shot around 2005 and got delayed after viewing this i said to myself why did i bother watching this trash film it should have never been released the only reason i saw this was Teresa Palmer boobs yes that is the only good thing this film offers she is naked for a few moments and looks stunning on bed & shower scene besides her this film is junk.i have my opinion of this film i am not a critic i have to warn others that please do not waste your money & cash on this trash.the plot is about a criminal man and a woman on the run from law who take a rich man hostage in his own manor.there is a lot of Cringe worthy acting display can be seen here the male lead bad guy sucked he was totally overacting,the story is usual we have all seen before predictable with same old twists its all about money & stealing in these types of films IMDb is full of movies like these Hollywood in 80s & 90s did it before still a lot of films do it even in mainstream cinema those soft core porn films of Shannon Tweed are examples still whole world copies them its done get moving it is same plot repeated its been decades this must be stopped.these filmmakers try to shove down nonsense like this down our throats promoting the idea that murder & cheating is right.Restraint 2008 is a garbage film it has nothing to see not a single good moment here & do not fall for the sexy poster please its boring waste of time and money my rating is 2/10:Skip It
captaincameron Well, he'd be scratching at the lid of his coffin. But otherwise, he could have put together this film--it has a slightly faster pace than his films, but otherwise...simply amazing. I always click the "spoilers" button as I don't want to get blacklisted if I let something slip, but I try not to. The story is simple enough: criminal couple from the wrong side of the tracks wind up taking a wealthy hostage--then things happen. The three leads are extremely believable in their roles. The camera work and lighting/shadows deserve an award in and of themselves. The ending--a bit unexpected, but if you watch the movie through, there is really no other way to tie this movie together. Add to this that one of the leads was Teresa Palmer. As they said on The Big Bang Theory, everything is better with Bluetooth, the same is true for Teresa Palmer. Everything is better with Teresa Palmer. Except Warm Bodies. I love zombie films, good and bad, but even she couldn't save that train wreck.
MrGKB ...and certainly not as well as the femme fatale's clothing fits her, but this is still a decent little thriller that delivers handsomely on a relatively small budget, despite an Act Three resolution that doesn't quite live up to the build. David Denneen guides an excellent cast through his feature-length debut with remarkable assurance and style; where has this guy been the past decade? Said cast does him and the unfortunately flawed script proud: newcomer, Travis "The Big Valley" Fimmel, authoritatively conjurers a young Brad Pitt, Teresa "I Am Number Four" Palmer can't help but make one think of a young Nicole Kidman, and Steven "True Blood" Moyer proves he can ably sink his teeth into a role without fangs. Denneen couldn't have asked for better.The plot is drawn from the same well as films like "Kalifornia," "Natural Born Killers," and progenitors like "Badlands." Crazed young couple on the lam, home invasion, cat and mouse monkey business, and the inevitable comeuppance of the perps, with minor variations to keep it interesting. It's pretty tightly written until the unlikely third act, as if scripter Dave "Garage Days" Warner ran out of juice and fell back on stock Hollywood resolution. Still, "Restraint" earns enough welcome to mostly make up for the fizzled finale. I stumbled across it at the library, and familiarity with two of the three leads was enough to pique my interest. I was not displeased.
bryan_stott The film starts as it means to go on, straight into the story with very little character background and very little messing around, the pacing is carefully measured and it moves along perfectly The lead male(reminds me of Brad Pitt) is excellent in the role, as are all the characters actually, and considering its mainly the same 3 people on screen the whole time in a small space it is done very wellThe plot centres around a young couple who are on the run, they take the owner of an estate hostage and then a psychological battle beginsNever saw any of these actors before but would look forward to seeing them again!really enjoyed the flick the only issue i had was i thought the very end was a little weak, overall a very good watch and i highly recommend it as a film that you probably wont hear much about but it is excellent all the same
