Review of PERFECT STRANGER


April 19, 2007



This movie is certainly less than perfect. The title alone is trite and awful and unoriginal (shades of a Bronson Pinchot sitcom!) It clearly relies on its "superstar" cast to draw in the audiences. However it seems Halle Berry and Bruce Willis have both seen better days in their careers.

Halle's beauty is front and center in this movie, but that is about it. She looks fantastic in everything she wore, especially the white blouse when she first enters Bruce's firm, and the red outfit she wore to her first meeting with Bruce in a bar. She wore them to seduce Bruce, and man, they surely work.

The plot is not convincing and unbelievable. The red herrings are aplenty, especially with regards to the character of Bruce Willis. The build up towards the revelation of the perpetrator at least had the requisite suspense. It does keep you guessing up to that point. However, I will not recommend this.
