Perfect Stranger - Available on DVD

“Perfect Stranger,” starring Halle Berry and Bruce Willis, has too many negatives to get a recommendation. The main problem is the script, which doesn’t play fair with its clues so the end comes from left field. Rowena (Berry), a tabloid journalist investigating the murder of her childhood friend, suspects a married advertising executive (Willis) so she sets out to prove his guilt. With this basic plot line, screenwriter Todd Komarnick throws in a little online sex, a jealous wife, and a sinister best friend, all of which serve as red herrings. Even the A-list cast can’t improve a weak script and without the cast, this movie would have gone straight to DVD. I suggest you wait until “Perfect Stranger” is free on cable. (9/14/07)
