Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

tomsview It just goes to show what innovative filmmakers can do with a few well-chosen locations, an old country house, three good actors and a clever script."Restraint" works with simple ingredients, a guy and girl on the run from the law end up in an isolated house in the country. They take prisoner the strange occupant of the house and hold him to ransom. But all is not as it seems and as the story unfolds, we find ourselves watching a film that Hitchcock or Polanski may not have disowned.Teresa Palmer and Travis Fimmel play the two fugitives, Dale and Ron. Impulsive Ron is the type of guy who always brings trouble to himself and those around him. His girlfriend Dale has experienced the rougher side of life, but when they take prisoner the wealthy, but disturbed Andrew, played by Stephen Moyer, she responds to a chance at a classier, more sophisticated way of life. In order to get their hands on a large sum of money, Ron allows Andrew to coach Dale to play a role. As Andrew becomes Henry Higgins to Dale's Eliza Doolittle, Ron's jealousy rises to a dangerous level. It's another brilliant touch in a story that constantly shifts things around.Each of the three stars brings something to the party, but by the end, Teresa Palmer burns up the screen. Aussie thrillers rarely hold back on the nudity and sex scenes and "Restraint" is no exception; Teresa Palmer's understated approach gives impact to a number of hot scenes with both men. Almost a decade later, her disarming style gives power to her performance in another psychological thriller with a twist, "Berlin Syndrome". Despite restraint in the budget, "Restraint" is a polished production. David Denneen started out directing commercials and that ability to quickly capture mood and action shows in "Restraint". Great photography and a good score add to its quality. "Restraint" is a winner all the way and the ambiguous ending doesn't defuse what has gone before.

andyshldn I have been very impressed with the amount of quality movies coming out of Australia in the past 5 years. This movie holds true to the current pattern of Strong acting, keen direction and quality stories.This particular movie has been done before with the hot girl and 2 men fighting over a position of power over her. I was impressed on how the movie built momentum towards a interesting conclusion.The violence and sex were extremely well acted and served a purpose in establishing the nature of the 3 central characters. I think the director followed the formula to a tee and it paid off.I would highly recommend this film to fans of suspense and drama who don't mind a bit of the rough stuff.

chapsmack Well I must confess the only reason I picked this movie out was to see Stephen Moyer presented himself out of True Blood. Never heard of the movie before that. Oh, and the cover girl looked good...All in all, it's not that bad of a watch. Considering the number of characters in the entire movie it was certainly well made and keeps you engrossed till the end. Of course during the entire movie I was thinking I didn't realize Kristen Stewart was that hot until I realized later that it wasn't her, it was Teresa Palmer and she's smokin' if you get my drift. If not for Moyer and Fimmel, see this movie for Palmer, she certainly deserves more than a look! I'd give a 10/10 for her, but considering the meek storyline, I'll drop it by 4 notches.

movieman_kev Ron and Dale are lovers/fugitives on the run who decide to take reclusive shut-in Andrew hostage when their plan to make a run for the border goes south. Quick thinking, but jealous Ron comes up with a new plan to get some of Andrews money. But fate has other things in store for the unlikely threesome. I found this to be a pretty atmospheric little thriller. A bit claustrophobic, but in a good way. It's also very well acted by the three leads and aside from a few pitfalls and an ending that's easily enough to deduce, I enjoyed the film Eye Candy: Teresa Palmer provides the T&A quotient My Grade: B Lionsgate DVD Extras: An 8 minute, 15 second making-of featurette; an alternate ending; interviews with David Denneen, Anna Fawcett, Travis Fimmel, Teresa Palmer & Stephen Moyer; trailer for this film; and trailers for Bangkok Dangerous, the Spirit, Kitchen Privilages, Dracula's Guest, & Raising Jeffrey Dahmer
