SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

FilmBuff1994 Perfect Stranger is a disastrous movie with a dreadful storyline and a promising cast that literally didn't do anything to make this any better. It's certainly not a predictable movie, every twist and turn that comes along is unexpected, but they are never pleasing and won't be putting audiences at the edge of their seats. I like Halle Berry and Bruce Willis as actors, but they are both awful in this movie, these roles do not suit them whatsoever, Berry tries to play an undercover journalist with little effect, and Willis's performance as a creepy businessman is wrong and I was genuinely upset watching him portray a character who had some of the worse dialogue I've ever heard. The ending is definitely the weakest moment, it leaves a ton of questions left unanswered, and a ginormous cliffhanger, but thankfully, it's not interesting enough to make you wonder what happened. Poorly written and cringe worthy performances, there is nothing about Perfect Stranger that would make me recommend it to anyone. A journalist goes undercover to investigate the advertising mogul who she believes is a murderer. Best Performance: Giovanni Ribisi

voxradu This movie is in some way one of my guilty pleasures because I always feel good when I'm watching it. The movie brings something new to the thriller genre. It's that feeling you get that makes you want more of it and to be honest I can't understand why the other reviews for this movie are so bad. The plot was great but the twist at the end was a little to much for me too; but not to the point at which I will give the movie a 1/2 out of 10. Leaving all that a side let's talk a little bit about the plot of this movie, no spoilers ahead, so don't worry. Rowena is a girl who works for a local newspaper and she has the job of bringing the secrets of the famous people to light. One day, she is given the task to prove that a very wealthy man (Harrison) is having numerous affairs with different women, one of those being her friend Grace who wants to bring the case of Harrison to light with the help of her friend. Soon, we discover many hidden secrets that lie behind every person that takes part in the story, that being one of the best parts of "Perfect Stranger". Go watch this movie in the near future and I can say that you won't be disappointed. You will probably be disappointed by the ending but the rest is pretty much great. 8/10

poyrazbaklan I watched perfect stranger in hopes of a smart thriller, maybe close to(but not like) identity or insomnia. Yet the main premise is so dull and unpromising that not only it bored the stuff out of me, it also made me shout at how dumb the characters were. First of all, Halle Berry's character is supposedly a smart journalist, yet she is definitely computer illiterate. In one scene she had this picture on the screen that her boss isn't supposed to see, and of course he shows up, at the same time the screen somehow freezes. And what does she do instead of turning the screen off? She panics and tries to unplug the cable with her foot. I know scenes like this are supposed to build up tension but come on! In another one she uploads a virus and gets busted by the antivirus software. Instead of shutting the software, she calls giovanni ribisi and this time he(apparently more computer-savvy than her) tells her there is no way past it and they will try later. In any case the movie is so slow paced and so devoid of any actual thrills that you never feel hooked up to it. Even in the end you see what is coming(the other characters somehow fail to do it) and watch the credits dumbfounded and not entertained in any way.

raisleygordon "Perfect Stranger" has a decent premise for a thriller: A reporter becomes a spy when a friend his murdered by some stranger. But, the movie is mediocre, there's no chemistry between Willis and Berry, and the characters are two-dimensional at best. And because of these qualities, you don't have anyone to root for or care about. There are a couple of moments where Bruce Willis shows his temper, but unfortunately, that's as interesting as the movie gets. Sure, the film has a story, but there's almost no point to it. The movie goes on and on and on, and has an (unnecessary) ending that feels tacked on, I might add. The film is 109 min., but feels like a little more than 2 hours.** out of ****
