Interesteg What makes it different from others?

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

sddavis63 The cast was promising - the stars of this are Bruce Willis as Harrison and Halle Berry as Ro - and the story seemed mildly interesting. Ro's friend is murdered, and Ro tries to figure out who the killer is, suspecting a guy that her friend was having an anonymous internet romance with. OK. Like I said - it seemed promising. But it turned out to be dreadfully dull for most of its runtime.It starts with an actual interesting story about Ro (an investigative reporter) confronting a US Senator about a sex scandal. But that turns out to have absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the movie. I guess it just establishes that Ro is a hotshot investigative reporter. OK. You could have just told us that. Then her friend gets murdered and she has to figure out who did it. So we spend a huge amount of time watching Ro pretending to be someone else, sending online messages to "ADEX," who she thinks is Harrison. Meanwhile Ro's friend Miles is some sort of tech wizard who spends a lot of his time hacking. Is this serious? Even in 2007 online romances and hacking would have seemed a bit dated. But by 2017? Let's just say that this ten year old movie already seems much older. But I get the sense that the viewer is supposed to be dazzled by this high tech wizardry. The movie meanders and sputters along, with none of it being especially interesting. Then - after 75-80 minutes of boredom, it's as if writer Todd Komarnicki suddenly realized that the script was a dud and filled the last 20- 25 minutes with no fewer than three plot twists. So we go from the killer that the whole movie had suggested, to a new killer, only to find that the old killer was really the killer, only to discover that there was actually a different killer. My mind had gone numb by this point. For the record - plot twist # 1 (which dealt with Miles' relationship with Ro) was the most interesting, and plot twist # 3 (which revealed the real killer) was, I confess, totally unexpected. But, still, you can't save a movie that's been boring for almost an hour and a half with plot twist after plot twist after plot twist. Komarnicki also gives us a lot of unnecessary backstory about Ro's childhood and her abusive father and he throws in the "f" word a lot. In my experience overuse of the "f" word is a sure sign that a writer knows he's written a dud, and rather than actually fixing the script he throws in the "f" word as much as possible, apparently thinking that prolific use of the "f" word will make a movie seem hard-hitting and exciting. (Memo to all script writers: IT DOESN'T WORK!!) Not a movie I would recommend at all. (4/10)

FilmBuff1994 Perfect Stranger is a disastrous movie with a dreadful storyline and a promising cast that literally didn't do anything to make this any better. It's certainly not a predictable movie, every twist and turn that comes along is unexpected, but they are never pleasing and won't be putting audiences at the edge of their seats. I like Halle Berry and Bruce Willis as actors, but they are both awful in this movie, these roles do not suit them whatsoever, Berry tries to play an undercover journalist with little effect, and Willis's performance as a creepy businessman is wrong and I was genuinely upset watching him portray a character who had some of the worse dialogue I've ever heard. The ending is definitely the weakest moment, it leaves a ton of questions left unanswered, and a ginormous cliffhanger, but thankfully, it's not interesting enough to make you wonder what happened. Poorly written and cringe worthy performances, there is nothing about Perfect Stranger that would make me recommend it to anyone. A journalist goes undercover to investigate the advertising mogul who she believes is a murderer. Best Performance: Giovanni Ribisi

richieandsam PERFECT STRANGERThis movie is about a woman who finds out that her friend was having an affair with an important married business man, but when she threatened to go to his wife she was found dead. So now she is investigating her death and trying to find the evidence that he killed her to keep his secret.This thriller is actually quite good. It kept me guessing all the way through the movie as to who was the actual killer. There were a lot of twists and turns that I was not expecting. As thrillers go this was not very predictable. I thought I knew who did it most of the way through the film, but it tricked me well.The acting was really good throughout by everyone. The movie stars Halle Berry, Bruce Willis and Giovanni Ribisi. Halle did an amazing job. Her character was so colourful and strong. She played it very convincing. You can see why she is an Oscar winner. Bruce also did a good job playing the businessman that is being accused. But Giovanni is such a good actor that he seems to be very good in everything that he does.The movie had some good action sequences, but was more about getting you thinking. The only thing I was disappointed with was the ending. Don't get me wrong, I liked it… and it was a very interesting twist that I did not see coming at all… but it just felt like the twist at the end was added for extra shock. It didn't need the twist at the end and it felt forced into the story. Can understand why they did it, but I just think it would have been perfectly fine if it was not stretched.I enjoyed this movie and thought it was better than some other thrillers.I will give this film 7 out of 10."A very famous man once said that sincerity is everything. Once you learn to fake that, the rest is easy."For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl

GManfred Website users were awfully tough on this one. I thought it was a good mystery - a mysterious mystery, which is not redundant. Think of all the movies that are passed off as mysteries but are not, uh, mysterious. For instance, "Dial M For Murder", in which the murderer is known throughout the picture. This one is absorbing and holds your interest for the entire hour and 50 minutes.Most users rehash the plot in their review, so to cut to the chase, this is Halle Berry's picture from start to finish and she does a great job as a journalist trying to break a big story. The first story fizzles out but the next one involves Bruce Willis as an Ad exec who she suspects is responsible for a murder. Her cohort and pal is Giovanni Ribisi, who gets better each time out. Willis, on the other hand, phones his part in and seems bored.This movie reportedly has several different endings and the CD I saw seemed to also. I thought the ending I saw was somewhat contrived, so much so that you couldn't see it coming. But I thought that's what made it interesting and absorbing, as mentioned above.
