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

Rating:  - Actually Kept My Interest.....
Ok - I'm not going to rehash the plot - you can read other reviews for that. I will tell you that this was an entertaining movie that held my interest. I did enjoy seeing Greg J. from CSI make some cameo appearances and Hally is lovely to watch, Bruce always wicked and I, personally, was kept guessing until the end, thought I had the answer, then the end kicker. With some movies and however I'm feeling at the moment, I just let them carry me along and not overanalyze it. This was the case with this ... Read More
Rating:  - Waste of time
I cannot believe this is a movie. It really disgusted me and it just plain perverse. Halle Berry and Bruce Willis have shamed the art of cinema. The casting is a weak spot and a real problem. The acting just plain ridiculous, the performances were tired and forced. The story is intricate and well thought out but really what is the point. So many clues are forced on you and you can't really understand how a movie with two A-list actors could be this bad. Miles the so called "Hero" so to speak is ... Read More
Rating: - What is the point of this movie?
Film story about female reporter who works in a sleazy newspaper focused on uncovering dirt on political leaders. Dirt is usually of sexual kind where the middle aged men in crisis are attracted to their male interns, or young and attractive female employees. What is unclear is the passion that reporter (Halle Berry) has for her work. When one story goes sour, she quickly picks up another one even though she has apparently quit her job as a journalist? That premise alone makes no sense. She ends ... Read More
Rating: - I cancelled Starz right after watching this
Where to start? Others have pretty well hit all the stinkos.
Halle Berry is pretty but she looks invented.
Bruce Willis never looked so tall.
I can't think of anything else.
Rating: - Halle does it again!
Halle Berry delivers another "Killer" performance. Bruce Willis is a favorite of mine as well so this was quite the treat for me. Very smart & sexy film. Loved it!
