I don't think this movie was as bad as the reviews made it out to be except for getting a little weird near the end.

"Perfect Stranger" could be described as a stealthy feminist-revenge thriller if not for an early scene in which Rowena(Halle Berry), an investigative reporter, seems prouder about her own personal success than the professional capacity she "Perfect Stranger" could be described as a stealthy feminist-revenge thriller if not for an early scene in which Rowena(Halle Berry), an investigative reporter, seems prouder about her own personal success than the professional capacity she upholds as a facillitator for the public's right to know.

Perfect Stranger by trailer looks like a great thriller. Here is a good cast, an interesting idea. But the plot closer to the middle begins to sag a lot, too delayed. Well, the only plus of the film is its end and open ending. So PerfectPerfect Stranger by trailer looks like a great thriller. Here is a good cast, an interesting idea.
