Crazy Movie.......2007-06-27

This movie is ok for the budget. Some things didn't make sense though. This guy went crazy and it was her fault. In the end she is regretful but he loses everything. They should have had a better actor for the main lawyer although I like him in other things. Robin's lawer has to work on his acting skills. It's cool for something to watch though.

Restraining Order.......2007-06-09

I purchased Restraining Order as a gift for someone. I haven't seen the movie. She was very pleased! She said that the movie was very good and recommended that I watch as soon as I get a chance. I gave you a rating of 5; because I was pleased with the prompt shipment and especially with the fact that she was really pleased with it.

From a DV survivor.......2007-05-23

I think it made a statement. Just because a woman tells you she is being abused does not mean it is true.

Oh what a H.A.M........2007-04-05

The title of this review is not a reference to the actor's performances. It is an acronym for a hot @zz mess. That pretty much sums up the whole film from start to finish. I watched this with my friend and we were on the floor laughing the whole time at this blunder. The bad editing and writing, horrific acting, and awkward camera angles will have you in stitches. In one shot, it looked like they switched from film to video. Don't get me wrong I knew this film was low budget but come on they could have done better. It seemed as if they had a budget of $20.00 and half of that looked like it was spent on the food. And Robin Givens, sweety, are times really this hard? I would have given you the money to pay your master card bill for the month. To sum up, this movie was a hot lava filled mess

I happened across this one by accident. It was laying on top of the tabloids at the checkout counter in Wal-Mart. Guess someone had doubts and decided not to get it...their loss was definitely my gain. Without a second thought, I added it to my order. No regrets. I'm happy I was able to add this one to my collection.

There's deception, mystery and suspense! Makes you ask yourself...what are you willing to sacrifice in order to get what you "think" you want?

A pleasant surprise. Restraining Order is a must see. I highly recommend this film.

Restraining Order with Julia Robert's brother.......2004-05-02

Ah, Eric Roberts, famous brother of actress
Julia Roberts.

Eric Roberts reminds me of alot of Tom Cruise
and Matt Damon or other actors who get
alot of roles based on their looks.
However, unlike Cruise or Damon, Roberts
has failed to take advantage
of this.

He has appeared in a couple of good
films most notably the action film
"Best Of The Best", however, most
work has consisted of low budget and many
times direct to video movies.

However, unlike Julia Roberts, Roberts
does try for the most come across as
sincere and committed in his roles.

"Restraining Order" directed by Lee H. Katzin
, is a film about a Beverly Hills type lawyer,
Robert Woodfield(Roberts)
who makes his money by defending both
good and bad people, mainly bad ones.

One day, he manages to free, a hoodlum
with connection to the mob out, and then
starts the problems for Woodfield, because
it seems that one of Robert's friend
has a debt to pay to this punk.

Woodfield, at first doesn't give this
much thought, but after his friend is killed
Woodfield demands answers from this guy,
but gets none, other than to keep his
nose out of his business.

Woodfield though pursues the situation and
eventually the mob targets him and his
beautiful wife Leight Woodfield
(Tatjana Patitz).

Even though "Restraining Order" is filled
with at times bad action and acting, it has
it's moments.

The plot itself reminds of crooked high priced
lawyers like Johnnie Cochran who defend
such profiled scum as O.J. Simpson, with
the exception that Cochran hasn't been
targeted by mob.

Roberts himself does try to put a little
strength into the character. In the
beginning his character isn't all bad,
(he even stops a robbery in progress),
but in the middle he gets a little
too overhead and then realizes the error
of his ways, but overall Roberts does
an ok job.

There is a pretty good acting job by
Dean Stockwell as Charlie Mason who I
believe is a high profiled D.A. who is
Woodfield's friend, but who may not be
who he says he is.

Like I said "Restraining Order" is filled
at times with bad action and acting, for instance the movie has the lame , laughable,
twists that just has laughing your head
of when you see it.

Like for example there is a point where
Woodfield, has a gun pointed to his head
by one of the mob guns, and just when
you think Woodfield is about to die,
the mob goon's gun is out of bullets!!! LOL

Then a funny fist ensues between the two.

In the end, I'll recommend the movie because
it ain't all bad, and at the very
least "Restraining Order" will give you a
good laugh.

If only Eric Roberts got better roles, maybe
he would become as big as his distant
sister , Julia Roberts.

Oh well.

Eric Roberts is a lawyer?.......2000-08-10

Eric Roberts has always been multi-talented and this movie showcases that. Crime fighter, boxer and all around good friend, Roberts works as a defense lawyer for an organized crime boss (Dean Stockwell). His sucess in the courthouse means trouble for him and his wife (model, Tatjana Patitz). Although the plot is typical, there are several familiar faces in this movie. As always, Roberts plays the part well and overall, the movie was a pleasant suprise.
