2/5
Bruce Willis takes a back seat from the limelight in a surprisingly attractive film. A mildly erotic thriller, Perfect Stranger sees a reporter (Berry) trying to bring down the "powerful man" while fighting with her own inner demons. The story is not very original and therefore a little predictable, but individual moments of tension found me wanting to know what happens next. Willis' characterisation could have used a lot more work and I feel that the performances of Berry and Ribisi were the only thing holding it together. Still, Perfect Stranger is a film worth watching… on DVD.
