Perfect Stranger Reviews

I always had a weak spot for Halle Berry but, honestly, ever since she won an Academy award for ‘Monster’s Ball’, most of her movies have been rather disappointing and this movie is actually a perfect example. I mean, to have a movie starring both Halle Berry and Bruce Willis sounded like a great idea, the whole thing definitely had some potential so I was rather curious to watch this flick. Eventually, it was at first quite promising as the directing was pretty good and the story was quite intriguing. Unfortunately, like most of the modern thrillers, it went so over the top at some point, there were just so many pointless twists that, after a while, I pretty much lost interest in the whole thing. Concerning James Foley, a director with a decent track-record, it was quite a step-down (especially if you compare it ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ which has become a really cul-classic) and this movie would be his last theatrical release in the last 7 years. To conclude, even though it could have been a decent thriller bad because of a really ludicrious script, I thought the whole thing was really weak and I don’t think it is really worth a look, even if you like the genre.

Halle Berry plays a journalist, who, recently fired, decides to go undercover to ferret out businessman Harrison Hill (Bruce Willis) as her best friend's killer. Posing as one of his temps, she enters into a game of online cat-and-mouse investigation.

All through the film, I was hoping the ending wouldn't be as predictable as I thought... Unfortunately, it was.

Moreover, the script was lousy, lousy, lousy. Too many things didn't make any sense. Bad thriller.

If you're watching for the story, look for another thriller. If you're watching for action, you'll get plenty of it.

I dont want to give any spoilers, so I redcue it to this: the movie plays with the viewers expectations, leads on wrong tracks, removes and adds suspisions on characters and comes with a suprisingly logical ending that leaves room for imagination.
Perfect thriller.
