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 : - From J. Kaye's Book (and Movie) Blog
What a woozer of an ending! I didn't see that one coming. The movie starts out with a missing friend who turns up dead. Rowena, an investigative reporter, played by Halle Berry puts her skills to use in order to find out what happen.

I think what makes this movie such a shocker is the killer comes completely out of left field, making the whole story unbelievable. Even so, I loved the movie. Again, maybe it's the absence of primetime that has my mind blind to the movie's obvious flaws.
