Perfect Stranger is saved from conventional starlet-in-distress mediocrity by a certain refreshing unwholesomeness, a tawdry strain that runs all the way through its climactic series of kickers. Halle Berry plays a "gotcha" reporter, currently undercover to nail a famous advertising tycoon (Bruce Willis)--not for a story, but because Berry thinks he might be involved in a friend's murder. The distasteful nature of Berry trying to seduce the married exec adds some spice, and so does her pervy assistant (Giovanni Ribisi), whose voyeuristic tendencies indicate more than customary comic relief--at the least, he's a hefty red herring. There are other red herrings, mostly beginning to smell, in the rather ramshackle script. Director James Foley, who has a talent for hothouse intensity (Glengarry Glen Ross, At Close Range) gives this material more edge than it probably deserves, although he can't make Berry convincing, and she and Ribisi are completely wrong as simpatico best friends. Willis looks good by comparison, turning a one-note role into a subtle act of professionalism. --Robert Horton

 Not Barry's Best but good and gritty November 24, 2008
Mark W. Sweeny Jr. (Syracuse, N.Y. USA)
As this movie runs It's course I was always drawn In with suspicions of what was the ending, and the way the movie has this dirty undertone that runs through It-Together these elements along with what I thought was a good plot grant It with flaws.(If you want bad enough you can pick the flaws out of any movie). And these two as best friend's? Not a good pairing.(Barry & her cohort)
But It's good old fashioned entertainment. I was entertained and liked the gratitous sex with Barry. Willis Is good acting and makes his small role good.
And to be real this movie deserves at least 3 stars. How It can be generating an average of less Is beyond me.
Some of the complaints I've heard (Close ups by the director) ridiculous.
Movies are made for widescreen now!
This Is so worth the rental price.
There are surprises nobody will see coming about all the characters.
And of course the best surprise of all at the end.

George Barthelenghi (Rutherford, New Jersey United States)
This movie at first was
starting to evaluate the stars,afterwards the rest
of movie was thrilling and
suspenseful.
Halle Berry
very good actress.
Great little movie with a very well hidden twist for the end! September 13, 2008
Claire Steed (Kent, UK)
I know some people here have said how bad this is and I was surprised to read that - as I've just seen it on the small screen and I found it a great little movie. The clues to the ending were there but it still pulled off a spectacularly surprising ending, almost like the ending and the beginning were the real plot and the middle was a sub-plot; this statement makes sense if you watch the movire.
I thought all the actors, not just the leads, were great and gave good, solid, competent performances. As with most 'thrillers' there were a few red herrings along the way but boy what an ending, you will not believe who the murderer is (even though as I say, the clues are there from the beginning).
Sorry not to agree with the people who don't rate this but I did, it was a well written movie, well acted and directed, so well done to all concerned, I for one, enjoyed it.

Rick M. Lyell (Sykesville, Maryland United States)
Could have been good, with a little imagination. No suspense. Dull. Ending was lame.
 GREAT! August 23, 2008
S. Johnson (North Carolina)
The product came to my residence in a timely fashion, and played of EXCELLENT quality.
