Every signifier in this quintessentially American domestic thriller is in satisfying running order.
Although decked out with a legitimate star and handsome production carpentry, pic takes no greater interest in creating three-dimensional characters or fleshing out a credible storyline than does the run-of-the-mill straight-to-video thriller.

The movie is a paid holiday for its director, Harold Becker. I say this because I know what Becker is capable of.
Sttrictly movie-of-the-week stuff. And not very good stuff, at that.
It's clear from the outset that a thriller is going to be big and dumb -- as opposed to tight and smart.
So TV-movie-of-the-week that you wonder throughout why you can't use a remote to find a decent ballgame.
Absurd beyond belief or reason.
La mise en scène est molle et les acteurs se révèlent décevants (sans doute pour se fondre dans le moule de la médiocrité galopante) y compris et surtout Travolta, Vaughn et Buscemi. L'Intrus débouche donc sur un ennui immédiat qui s'accentue de minute en minute : la pseudo-histoire repose sur de grosses ficelles -tellement grosses qu'on dirait des amarres- et qu'on devine par conséquent à des kilomètres. C'est tellement mauvais qu'on se croirait devant un putain de téléfilm, des plus minables de surcroît ! Passez votre chemin.
