All these changes, along with the fact that he only had to sell his house because he needed money, took shape in the form of an intruder.

Michael Ealy as Scott and Meagan Good as Annie do not have much to do in the movie other than catalyzing Quaid’s character. In this way, Quaid manages to switch between these two natures of his character very subtly and with ease. Yet, his portrayal of Charlie as a nice guy is also compelling. Moreover, from the very beginning, we realize, thanks to his expressions, that he has secrets in him. There’s more to him than meets the eye.ĭennis Quaid does a good job as Charlie.

His obsession with his house seemed to move him in a way that didn’t match with the movie’s ending. Much more could have been done with the character of Charlie. Despite being repetitive at times in its scary quotient, the movie doesn’t bore. The Intruder does manage to establish itself as a thriller.
