Perfect Stranger Audience Reviews

Nonureva Really Surprised!
Micitype Pretty Good
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
The Couchpotatoes Mystery/crime are one of my favorite kind of movies. Trying to figure out what is happening, playing detective from your couch. With Perfect Stranger I thought I figured everything out from the beginning and I was completely wrong. Didn't see it coming at all, and that what makes a movie like this one better then others in the same genre. I never have been a big fan of Halle Berry, besides her obvious beauty she's not that of a great actress, but in Perfect Stranger she's okay. Not the greatest though, just okay. The storyline is more then okay, full of intrigues and twists until the end. You won't be bored for a second watching this movie. I don't really get why people are watching this kind of movies if they don't like it to begin with. I hate musicals so I just don't watch them, simple as that. Deserves more then it's actual rating.
Python Hyena Perfect Stranger (2007): Dir: James Foley / Cast: Halle Berry, Bruce Willis, Giovanni Ribisi, Nicki Aycox, Florencia Lozano: Flawed yet entertaining thriller about identities particularly those over the Internet chat lines. Halle Berry plays a journalist who goes undercover in an attempt to expose an advertising giant whom she believes is responsible for a friend's murder. Director James Foley manages some suspense yet humour comes off as corny. Foley has made such films as The Chamber and The Corrupter. Structure is pure formula with an ending that will either surprise or disappoint. Berry holds her own as a woman fired from her job in the opening when a job goes wrong. From there she applies as a temp in order to reveal someone in criminal activity. Bruce Willis plays Harrison Hill, ad executive who has much to conceal, and he is smart enough to fire Berry when he figures her out. Giovanni Ribisi as a computer geek has an interesting back story of his own. Nicki Aycox appears briefly to introduce Berry to the whole Hill situation but when she is found murdered, it sets off Berry to investigate. More on Aycox is revealed towards the conclusion that brings into fruition much information. Other roles are more on the standard conventions and nothing more. Contrived and manipulative in the Basic Instinct style but thriller fans will not be strangers to it. Score: 5 ½ / 10
voxradu This movie is in some way one of my guilty pleasures because I always feel good when I'm watching it. The movie brings something new to the thriller genre. It's that feeling you get that makes you want more of it and to be honest I can't understand why the other reviews for this movie are so bad. The plot was great but the twist at the end was a little to much for me too; but not to the point at which I will give the movie a 1/2 out of 10. Leaving all that a side let's talk a little bit about the plot of this movie, no spoilers ahead, so don't worry. Rowena is a girl who works for a local newspaper and she has the job of bringing the secrets of the famous people to light. One day, she is given the task to prove that a very wealthy man (Harrison) is having numerous affairs with different women, one of those being her friend Grace who wants to bring the case of Harrison to light with the help of her friend. Soon, we discover many hidden secrets that lie behind every person that takes part in the story, that being one of the best parts of "Perfect Stranger". Go watch this movie in the near future and I can say that you won't be disappointed. You will probably be disappointed by the ending but the rest is pretty much great. 8/10
TonyDahlin How this movie made it to the silver screen, is beyond me. 20 minutes into this movie, I felt I would need to take notes. Plot development was juvenile at best. Because this site requires 10 lines of text, I will need a whole lot of hamburger helper, for the brain!A euphemism (from the Greek words EU - well and Phebe - speak) is a word or expression that is used when people want to find a polite or less direct way of talking about difficult or embarrassing topics. Most of us, unless you are an actuary, have enjoyed reading quotes that are funny, inspiring, and encouraging relief from stress, . They can help us see things in a different (less stressful) light, give us a laugh, and help us get into a more optimistic frame of mind. Remember life is too long to live it stressful! (Dahlin &Kaufman 1982) However, I was able to erase and use the DVD. Tony Dahlin Venice
