Talking to the characters, screaming out loud, and laughing even louder. Trouble is, they fall so gloriously into these pits that it turns a probable disaster into one wild thrill ride. Questionable character arcs, plausibility faux pas, and an imbalance between what the character knows and what the audience knows prejudicing viewers against a sweet, seemingly dimwitted but still quite alluring woman. Like many stories of this nature, a violent external force threatens, not only to break them apart, but to murder them.Īlso, like stories of this nature, the narrative and execution are rife with potential pitfalls and The Intruder tumbles into them all. And next thing you know, they are getting the business. Blood red.Īll these poor people do is purchase a three-point-five million dollar house. Oh, and they make one dastardly life alteration and what once flowed easy now runs red. A smart and sexy couple living the high life-affluent means, a storybook love affair, so gorgeous your eyes hurt, and they are and have the best friends imaginable. The Intruder, starring Meagan Good, Michael Ealy, and Dennis Quaid, begins as thrillers do. The lot of film-lovers loaded into the theater and the lights dimmed.

The evening turned out to be a nice little party with photogs popping bulbs, entrepreneurs networking, and smiling actors trying to rub elbows with the auteur. Joining the festivities was producer and director Deon Taylor.

That same night, Fox4 film critic Shawn Edwards, through his relationship with Hidden Empire Film Group, brought the national press and screening tour of the indie thriller, The Intruder, right home to us in Kansas City. Last month on April 24, Missouri Incentive Bill HB 923, an initiative to generate film production in Missouri and to attract film business to our state and Kansas City, passed the House Floor.
