Critics Consensus

The Intruder might appeal to fans of shout-at-the-screen cinema, but this thriller's ludicrous plot robs it of suspense -- and undermines Dennis Quaid's suitably over-the-top performance.

It's fun! Is it brilliant or groundbreaking? No.

3/5

The Intruder succeeds in making this scenario less blatantly paranoid and misanthropic than it often appears... It also helps that Quaid, showing remarkable dedication to the role, jumps effortlessly between magnanimous old fool and evil.

Iit's high time Quaid truly embraced the role of a real horror-movie psycho, and the key pleasure of... The Intruder lies in watching the actor bounce among extremes of charm, anxiety, chumminess, and madness.

The Intruder is a passable blend of dated home invasion thrillers and stalker movies.

C-

I think with some editing this movie could have been a decent thriller, but ultimately it failed.

THE INTRUDER is crazy in a way that it really needs to be an unabashedly and whole-heartedly committed to its particular brand of madness.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I thought this was a great movie. Interesting and well-acted movie. I have no idea why some people are rating it poorly.

The beginning scene says it all. A black neighbor knocks on the door and the black guy can't act at all---with that, the movie sucks. They should have gotten a new actor for the part. It continues on with this black guys horrible acting and the more horrible acting by the main character and then black guys white wife---damn this movie sucks. I couldn't make it past the dinner scene and now the rest of you don't have to.
