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

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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Goes nowhere
Could have been good, with a little imagination. No suspense. Dull. Ending was lame.
Rating:  - GREAT!
The product came to my residence in a timely fashion, and played of EXCELLENT quality.
Rating: - A REAL SURPRISE!
I did not see this film when it came out in theatres, but wanted to see it. I bought the DVD from amazon and just finished watching it. A big surprise! No one does Slick Rick like Bruce Willis. You simply cannot keep your eyes off him when he's on the screen. For once he isn't playing shoot 'em up, blow 'em up. He's cool, suave, amusing, and this character is tailor made for him. He is very believable as the CEO of a major NYC ad agency. His offices are gorgeous. The photography and the color ... Read More
