no edge on your seat thriller but it is definitely not boring
2 July 2007
After reading several negative comments on this site I was very hesitant to watch this movie! I think Halle Berry is very beautiful and also is able to act quite good! With "Gothika" she started the trend to play in bad movies! To be honest I can't blame her! She had the opportunity to be a lead character in some high budget movies. There are not many black actresses around who can say the same! I wouldn't say that "Perfect Stranger" is a top notch thriller! But I thought that Halle Berry was more than decent in this one! She did what could be expected of her! She was convincing as the journalist! Of course the twist was a bit much! But that is the point of the twist isn't it? The twist itself was believable (it could have happened)! Although "Perfect Stranger" isn't fast paced it never gets boring! There aren't many twists and turns and that may be the reason people are disappointed! But I have to disagree with many reviewers to say that this is a bad movie,because it isn't! It may be quite light but what is wrong with that! At least I enjoyed it much better than say "Premonition"! Give this movie a chance!
