Movie Reviews of Perfect Stranger (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Actually Kept My Interest.....
Summary: 4 Stars
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 movie at this time. Take that for what you will....
Summary of Perfect Stranger (Widescreen Edition)
When her friend s affair with married ad exec Harrison Hill (Bruce Willis) ends in the woman s murder investigative reporter Rowena Price (Academy Award? winner Halle Berry; Best Actress Monster s Ball 2001) vows to bring the killer to justice. Suspecting Hill of the crime she goes undercover by posing as two highly alluring women: Katherine a sexy temp who works within his agency and Veronica a seductive temptress he chats up online. Engaging in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse both Rowena and Hill begin to realize things may not be what they seem. For some people will go to great lengths to protect their secrets even if it means risking everything.System Requirements:Running Time: 109 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: R UPC: 043396183841 Manufacturer No: 18384Perfect 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
