Dale: [as he avoids looking at her body] Grow up, Andy. So what's she like, this chick, huh? Does she talk like you?
Andrew: [softly] I suppose so.
Dale: You can look at me, Andy. Mm. You've never been to a strip club?
Andrew: No, I haven't.
Dale: So, how long has she been away?
Andrew: Six months.
Dale: You don't worry she's got her legs wrapped around some other guy by now?

Featured review
Housebound...
Ron (Travis Fimmel) and Dale (Teresa Palmer) are on the run from the law. Ron is a wee bit psychopathically homicidal, having already killed one man while having another stashed in the boot (trunk) of their car. Ron's your basic timebomb. Teresa is along for the ride.
The deadly duo happen upon a secluded mansion that happens to be the abode of Andrew (Stephen Moyer), a prisoner of sorts, paralyzed by his crippling agoraphobia. The real drama begins when these three meet. Ron grows increasingly agitated while Andrew comes up with a plan that just might keep him alive.
RESTRAINT is a refreshingly tricky thriller with loads of suspense, mystery, and some humor sprinkled throughout. The ending is surprising and satisfying.
For anyone interested, Ms. Palmer is indeed occasionally naked in this film. The fact that she's hot enough to boil mercury only adds to the overall enjoyment...
