Plot: When a husband and a wife move to a small town, a new home invasion leaves the wife traumatized and suspicious that those around her might not be who they seem.
My Movie Review: The movie is a fun watch to be sure as a home invasion movie of sorts, it has a number of thrilling moments, and lead actors Freida Pinto and Logan Marshall-Green arc such fine performances shine even Intrusion is frustratingly derivative and predictable to watch! Intrusion is a fairly minimalist movie about this couple who has just moved to a new small town the guy who's an architect just built the entire house and the secrets they harbor and their attempts to make the relationship work despite things that threat few uninspired suspense tale! Although thoroughly formulaic, Intrusion is a tightly paced thriller about domestic bliss thrown into turmoil that is executed with play an upscale couple under a mystery film that's so lazy and to a point of mediocre its easy to figure out who's the chief villain long before the movie is over! It could have been insightful or it could have been trashy, but instead it's painfully undertaking, a vapid mélange of dozens of movies that came before it suffers from predictable plot, but that doesn't necessarily mean you won't have a decent time with it honestly like more than I should! Plot twist: Henry kidnapped the missing girl before Meera can help girl escape, Henry corners her in the basement. He insists he has a sickness just like Meera's cancer, that it's not his fault, and that she ought to treat him with a compassion' turns out Henry confesses he's a sociopath!
Critic Reviews: Despite fine work from Freida Pinto as the curious wife in peril, the derivative Netflix film only frustrates. While there are quality jump scares and Marshall-Green gives it his all, Intrusion fails to deliver on much of its promise, stumbling when it should be sprinting. Call it Scenes from a Marriage in a Netflix Thriller, but then again those are generous qualifiers. The scenes from this marriage run flat, the thrills even more so. As yet more content, it's an agreeable option, the simple a-to-b-to-c plot proving involving enough for us to not exactly care what happens but at least see how unpleasant it all gets. There's an incredibly interesting story lurking somewhere beneath "Intrusion," about the way mistrust and paranoia can slowly chip away at a marriage. The film, however, eschews this tale in favor of something a little more rote, and a little bit trashier. If "Intrusion" has one redeeming feature, it's Marshall-Green, whose performance as the husband with a dark secret has a crackling, tightly controlled intensity far more nuanced and persuasive than anything else in the film. Intrusion passes off lack of ambition as ambition itself. Intrusion doesn't have much in the way of thrills, chills, or big mystery. Its secrets are predictable to where the viewer is always multiple steps ahead of the narrative. This is familiar, shopworn story but Pinto works it as best she can, Logan he too:)
