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

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.

Restraint is just another example of the amazing actors and film makers in Australia. There are a lot of "geeze I did NOT expect that to happen" moments right from the beginning and every character is finely cast so you are completely invested in the story. It is about a young couple on the run from the law for some serious crimes when they take a rich man who is a shut in as hostage. Between these 3 there is brilliant character development, these actors are fantastic, and for a story that is used a lot, they make it fresh and build tension between each other well. Of course there is a nice little twist at the end which does not disappoint. Fab movie if you want a quiet evening watching a good thriller drama.

I bought the movie and I have to say that I was very impressed with the filming of this movie. It's not a mindless boring movie. It gives you just enough and makes you think and wonder.Shame on you all who think this isn't worth buying. I think the acting was wonderfully done. I think they picked the right people to play the parts. I see great things happening in the future for these actors, you wait and see!!!!Check out the alternate ending and the interviews on the DVD VERY COOL!!!!I look forward to seeing more from these actors!
