Synopsis

When investigative reporter Rowena Price (Halle Berry) learns that her friend's murder might be connected to powerful ad executive Harrison Hill (Bruce Willis), she goes undercover with the help of her associate, Miles Hailey (Giovanni Ribisi). Posing as Katherine, a temp at Hill's agency, and Veronica, a girl Hill flirts with online, Rowena surrounds her prey from all sides, only to discover that she isn’t the only one changing identities. The closer Rowena gets to finding the truth, the more we see how far people will go to protect it.

Critics' reviews

"It is an acceptable enough thriller, neither the worst you've seen nor the opposite"

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"Life is full of choices, and Halle Berry has made another bad one with Perfect Stranger, a perfectly off-putting thriller."

Joe Morgenstern: The Wall Street Journal
"A rarely suspenseful thriller with a twist ending of the worst kind: It takes too much explanation"

Carla Meyer: Miami Herald
"Think you'd be happy watching Berry do little more than look beautiful? Perfect Stranger gives you plenty of opportunity to find out"

Elizabeth Weitzman: New York Daily News
"Have you ever seen a movie without a single believable moment? Perfect Stranger, a convoluted and altogether risible thriller with Halle Berry and Bruce Willis, manages this difficult feat."

Lou Lumenick: New York Post
"Just another thriller, utterly disposable"

Stephen Hunter: The Washington Post
"A disorienting cocktail of illogic and hysteria that requires an 11th-hour soliloquy just to explain what's happened"

John Anderson: Variety
