Watch Restraint For Free

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Blistering performances.

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

...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.

One of the reviews said this: "What is the definition of a gullible idiot? A: Anybody who buys the patronizingly glowing reviews posted above! In case you aren't aware, it has now become standard practice for individuals with a vested interest in low budget movies to talk them up on sites like this in the hope that the public will pay money to watch them at the cinema or on DVD.Ask yourself this: why would these people need to generate favorable publicity for a movie when a good movie will generate its own favorable publicity through word of mouth? The answer is obvious. " This is a movie review site. Why wouldn't you review a movie you like? Technically, the internet is the new word of mouth, same as texting.If you want a good film that is different than the Hollywood rip-offs, remakes,and abominations, look this one up. It's a good thriller.

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
