The Intruder’s interesting premise and fascinating performance by antagonist Dennis Quaid as a homeowner reluctant to sell elevates the film beyond your standard home invasion fare.
Sounds like a pretty good movie. Good actors, I really like Dennis Quaid. I hope Carrie does very well in her first acting role, hopefully she won’t do as bad as Britney! LOL.
Seriously…
Whatever happened to musicians being musicians and actors being actors. How can a person take a musician/actor seriously when they cant make up thier mind on what carreer path they want to do.
You could argue that its just the artists way of exploring thier artistic abilitys or inabilitys in multiple forms. Being a musician myself im finding more and more that most these artist arent really artists at all. There just looking for may ways to be a cash cow by taking on multiple arts that they may not actually be talented in but get the shot because of their name or popularity.
What a lame industry. Give real aspiring actors/actresses a chance.
