The Intruder

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.

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.

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.

Scott (Michael Ealy) and Annie (Meagan Good) are an upwardly mobile couple in San Francisco. She is excited to buy a lavish home in the country from Charlie Peck (Dennis Quaid). To Scott's frustration, Charlie keeps hanging around and befriending his wife. He starts to suspect that Charlie is unstable with ulterior motives.

Dennis Quaid plays the character very much on the nose. He is never that far away from creepy. It would be better to have less of that since he is supposed to be skilled at keeping appearances. Also the movie could play a bit more "is he or isn't he crazy". It's undeniable from the start and that takes away any chance of a mystery. It becomes nothing more than waiting for him to go fully berserk. That is a little value but mostly it's a tiresome waiting game. There is no real tension to this thriller.

Extremely predictable I have no idea why the good reviews or I mean glowing reviews?!!? I mean it's watchable but if you've ever watched movies before u know every single thing that's going to happen. I felt this from the first 5 minutes of this movie, but saw Dennis Quaid & thought ok maybe itll surprise me...nope. Idk I guess I'm not mad I rented it for 1.75 lol.
