Despite all these dreary pronouncements from critical Google users, I streamed INTRUSION and found it to be a solid effort. True, the plot isn't groundbreakingly original -- but not every movie is meant to throw you for a loop or leave you gasping for air. This film features decent design elements, quality acting, some tense fight scenes and even a few fun cat scares! Again, there's nothing shocking or new here, but that actually makes the plot believable. Bad marriages happen to good people . . . people like Meera, played by Freida Pinto. Pinto makes the most she can out of the tightly told mini-mystery that lasts less than an hour and a half.

"In the Heights" belongs in the toilet. The plot is hackneyed, the music is repetitive and tiresome and the choreography is terrible. Topping it all off is some of the worst acting I've seen in years. What a horrible mess.
