L'Intrusion

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.

Yes if you have seen a thriller (or two or more), you probably will get where this movie is heading. So there won't be too many surprises story wise, but I like the actors (doing a great job). And even when I knew what this was going to be about, it was well told. Especially with another almost twist before the third act.

So yeah this is quite flawed and predictable for many, but it is well made and edited. It lives off the actors and their charisma mostly - which is at least something I'd argue.

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!!

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.

Just watched this on a Saturday night and for what it is, it's ok. It is not an Oscar winning film but it is a good watch with popcorn and a few jump scares. Seems to be harshly reviewed and although the acting isn't perfect, there are a lot worse films out there. Just give it a go.
