Intrusion

An entertaining, easy 90 minute watch with a bit of tension and jeopardy, and not nearly as predictable as I thought it would be from the blurb and the reviews.

The writers could have made the last 20 minutes work much harder, though. Following the 'big reveal' they could have done more interesting or unexpected things with the situation, and it felt like those final scenes should have been much more exciting in terms of both action and interaction between the characters. Instead it was kind of flat and underwhelming - and after all the slow build up seemed to be over in a flash.

All the actors did a good job and I'm surprised Freida Pinto is getting dragged for her performance, which I thought was nicely understated and fitted the character well. Overall it was a decent effort and I particularly liked the colour grade and production design, which contributed a lot to the chilly, slightly off-kilter feel.

Actually Intrusion is ranked third on Netflix. So me and my wife tried to watch it. The critics here are so negative but you have to make your own opinion. Then we saw the thriller and we thought it must not be so bad as written in the reviews.

Finally we spent surprisingly an entertaining evening. It's a solid psycho thriller.

The main actors did a good job. The atmosphere and the landscapes were creepy done. The story was not boring and this is why we give an average of 5.5 out 10.

If I give a score below 5, it means the movie is a bad B movie. I gave this a 5 because it wasn't a B movie. It was a movie that had a good premise/idea, but didn't execute it very well. I lay most of the blame on script. The main guy in it is a good actor but one can only do so much with a script like that. First, they made his wife a dumb dumb. She was suspicious in the beginning when the guy was being the perfect husband and then when there were shady things, she suspicion went away until it was just too obvious something was going on. She found clues WAY to easily and found the secret room WAY too easily. She read the house blue prints as if she were a master architect. She broke into a car and found a an exact key she needed to open a mailbox later and broke into a house and found an envelope she needed. It was just done in a lazy way. This is what happens when streamers need content badly and they'll take anything. If you skip it, you won't miss anything.

I've seen some bad reviews that were gonna stop from watching this movie. But because i didn't wanna spend another 20 minutes looking for another one, i decided to watch it. And god, people are harsh on this one. It's definitely nothing new, predictable and we've watched a lot of movies like this. And yes, Pinta isn't the greatest actress. But it isn't that bad, I've seen much, much worse movies. I feel like reviewers are not fair and they lack argument. It did it's job by entertainning me and that's all i ask from this type of movies.

Movie lacked so much, it had potential but it seemed to disappoint. I don't get why it's the same content over and over again.. no different than other movies in same category. Not much explainations throughout movie, it was bogus!!
