Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam Arnold
Cliched, mostly routine and never especially satisfying. Read full review

Baltimore SunChris Kaltenbach
Instead of heightening the intrigue in this psychological thriller, the labored twists and out-of-leftfield turns will leave audiences more weary than wary. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips
It lacks the rutting nuttiness of "Basic Instinct," even as it recycles much of that film's kiss-or-kill premise. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKenneth Turan
It is an acceptable enough thriller, neither the worst you've seen nor the opposite. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick Groen
The only surprise here is the real star of the show, who turns out to be not Halle Berry, not even Bruce Willis, but a flat computer screen in all its hard-driven glory. Read full review

Miami HeraldCarla Meyer
A rarely suspenseful thriller with a twist ending of the worst kind: It takes too much explanation. Read full review

Perfect Stranger is one of those movies that two years, or two months, from now, you won't recall having seen. Ostensibly a movie about big secrets, it comes up with few that are worth keeping, or telling. Read full review

The A.V. ClubTasha Robinson
When the left-field ending finally arrives, it explains a lot, including why she's so off-putting and histrionic, but it never really explains why audiences should bother sitting through such a tangled mess. Read full review

Portland OregonianM. E. Russell
Joins the growing list of blandly made erotic thrillers that contain no eroticism, few thrills and fewer likable characters. Read full review

Village VoiceScott Foundas
Perfect Stranger derives some novelty value from its colorblind casting and from being the most ludicrously silly Hollywood f----fest since the Willis-starring "Color of Night" (minus that movie's comic self-awareness). But as a thriller, it's so by-the-numbers that it's hardly worth keeping count. Read full review
