Watching Dennis Quaid as a villain in “The Intruder” is like seeing my dad as the villain in “The Intruder,” but, you know, if my dad could act (sorry, Dad).

Two truths quickly emerge from "The Intruder," a thriller about buying a house from the wrong guy. First, director Deon Taylor ("Traffik") and editor Melissa Kent should be first chair at the symphony orchestra of their choosing. They play the audience like a fiddle, hurling close-ups, jarringly loud sound effects and scare-by-DEAFENING music at us…

Without the usual "gotcha" contrivances in movies like this, the suspense builds rationally, but when director Deon Taylor, working from a pedestrian script by David Loughery, shifts gears and the movie turns both violent and silly, 'The Intruder' loses credibility and logic, and everyone overacts all over the place.
