The pair have recently moved to a tiny, remote New Mexico town, far removed from their lives in Boston, Massachusetts. The snappy film - which barely cracks an hour and a half in runtime - stars Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire) and Logan Marshall-Green (potentially still best known for his memorable turn as Trey Atwood in The O.C., but also the star of Upgrade) as married couple Meera and Henry Parsons. It's this scenario which is explored in Netflix's latest thriller, Intrusion. Such a violation is bound to leave you feeling anxious, paranoid and suspicious.
The climactic scene, while expected, is still somewhat satisfying, though the coda leaves a lot to be desired. Both Pinto and Marshall-Green (decked out in 'nerdy' glasses and cardigans that should give off an unthreatening air, but rather achieve the opposite) deliver good performances. While there are very few surprises to be found in Intrusion, and the audience barely feels any tension if what should be a very tense movie, the story is still halfway decent. But when everything seems sewn up, Meera still has fears and doubts - and questions over her husband's odd behaviour. Fairly early on the couple come home to find that someone has trashed their house, and a few days later they endure a terrifying - and deadly - home invasion. Meera is a child psychologist and Henry is an architect - and it's clear from the get-go that both have things to hide.
