The Intruder

I'm being generous with a 5/10 only for Dennis Quaid. He's a damn good actor and fit as a fiddle. But his performance couldn't save the film when the Meagan's character is very dumb right from the writer's desk looks like. Ambiance is also ruined by her daftness which makes the hip hop tunes during the sex scenes more laughable. Can't black actors have intercourse without a rom com suited song LOL. Some people can sit through this (fans of Michael and Meagan ) and fans of acting will be very disappointed by the end.

The intruder is your typical thriller centred around characters that are exposed to a mentally unstable individual who slowly but surely is out to get them. What really saves this movie is Dennis Quaid's performance, his character seems to have conviction and even though he plays the antagonist, he carries the movie from start to finish.

The protagonists are a mixed bag of stereotypical characters, Meagan Good's character seems to be completely oblivious to Quaid's character's ulterior motives even though they are clear as daylight, and her husband played by Michael Ealy is indecisive and even shady in some aspects, only to go against his own character development at the end of the movie.

Thus it becomes increasingly difficult to root for the supposed protagonists and you kind of begin to side with Quaid's character because he looks like he actually has fun with his on-screen performance.

It is a very predictable and formulaic genre-piece which doesn't have the needed twist in it to separate itself from the flock. The only "twist" if one could call it that, is seeing veteran actor Dennis Quaid take on a role that we rarely ever see him in, and he does a very competent job carrying this movie the whole way through.

The Intruder, thought it was a great movie. One of the better Horror/Psychological On Netflix. Normally we watch horror but this was a nice change

Dennis Quaid was great! Portrayed a crazy man and was very believable.

A little bit of character back story for Scott and Annie was a nice touch and added some depth.

Was more of a 7.5 than a 7

Some old story a lovely young couple buy a house from a guy who didn't want to sell and he shows up all the time and can't quite hide the crazies for long enough.

You could tell from the start poor old Mike was going to cop it one way or another. And that is all.

Of course this was not supposed to be a masterpiece. Yes it's predictable but it had its moments. It's a silly fun movie which keeps you on your seat. I had a good time and 2 extra stars just for Dennis quaid. He gave a crazy fun performance which made me and other audience feel uncomfortable at certain times. Especially the shower scene in bathroom, that's just pure gold. It's so uncomfortable that you'll just laugh. Overall its a fun movie to watch with your friends in a weekend.

It started off being promising . Then it became a cliche and very predictable . Then end scene was very clumsy and it seemed as though the director just wanted to get the movie over with . Maybe he didn't want to go over budget .

Some scenes were just plonked in and didn't flow in the movie . And didn't need to be in there ! It was like to fulfil the cliche 'this and that ' had to be in the movie , so they dumped it in!

Dennis Quad's acting was great at the beginning , even in the middle part he was good , but then suddenly he started overacting . Why? It's much creepier when an actor is silent and works with his eyes and slow movements, instead of overplaying the role. Quad looked ridiculous in the final scene

The final 5 seconds at the end was good.
