Rowena Price (Halle Berry), a reporter, uses her investigative skills to solve the murder of a friend. Her search leads her to Harrison Hill (Bruce Willis), a high-powered advertising executive. She assumes new identities in the real world and online, utilizing cyberspace in a bid to bring her quarry to justice.

Critics Consensus

Despite the presence of Halle Berry and Bruce Willis, Perfect Stranger is too convoluted to work, and features a twist ending that's irritating and superfluous. It's a techno-thriller without thrills.

The movie doesn't add up to much: the plot meanders, there are too many red herrings, and the end doesn't really justify the means.

1/6

The movie shows that the only thing worse than a generically screwy thriller is one with a selective narrator -- and one that doesn't give viewers a fair chance to play along.

...resembles one of those made-for-Lifetime thrillers that seem to crop up on a weekly basis...

1.5/4

Columbia seems to be on a one-studio mission to revive that very '90s of film genres, the erotic thriller--or are they determined to kill it off for good, considering such poor efforts as this listless Halle Berry vehicle?

It's a good movie and Halle Berry is a standout! Bruce Willis is only so-so, but, overall, it's not a bad way to spend and hour-and-a-half of your life....

A good twist feels inevitable even if you never saw the ending coming; the twist here, conversely, remains ineffable, with absolutely nothing coming together in the end, as if the filmmakers had done no work to set up the surprise, and were themselves shocked by the final reveal.

1.5/5. Perfect Stranger has one of the most WTF twist endings I have ever seen, but not in a good way. Bruce Willis is fine and there are one or two enjoyable moments, but Halle Berry and Giovanni Ribisi are both awful and most of the movie is boring or simply makes no sense.

The title made me watch the movie but it is a very dumb movie?. Don't watch at any cost.
