Most of the time the action plays out like a useless combination of The Net and Disclosure. Meanwhile Miles is frantically hacking his way through cyberspace trying to dig up dirty e-mails that connect Hill to Grace’s death.

Lacking any better ideas on how to bring him down, she also spends her days going for the entrapment through sexual seduction. By night she’s in adult chatrooms, doing her best to seduce horny Hill into a sexual encounter that she can use to entrap him. Most of Rowena’s undercover work happens either online or in Hill’s posh New York ad agency where she poses as a temp assistant. If you ask me the real twist in this movie is that Halle Berry has an Oscar and Ribisi doesn’t. Things get interesting when Giovanni Ribisi’s character is involved, but that can be attributed to the fact that the guy is just an amazing actor to watch. What would otherwise take twenty minutes and three commercial breaks in an episode of “CSI” is drawn out into over an hour of sleepy undercover work and sometimes painful melodrama. It’s an easy opening to the story, one which unfolds in the first few moments of the film, but it’s also where it hits a lull. She digs up the dirt she needs, thanks mostly to her research assistant Miles (Giovanni Ribisi), who is so ridiculously good at technowizardy and hacking server firewalls that he makes the gang at CTU on “24” look like they’re playing Atari. Her gift is exposing the secrets of others, like a family values centered Senator who lately has been centering his values on his young male interns. Rowena (Halle Berry) is an investigative reporter who lives for the kill.

This page was last changed on 23 December 2020, at 01:18. In fact, at times it gets so dull and confusing that it threatens to put the audience to sleep, thereby causing them to miss the very ending it’s trying so desperately to set up. Perfect Stranger is one of those movies that makes a great effort at creating an unexpected ending, but it gets so caught up in trying to shock and awe you with a reality shattering, mind blowing, soda spilling twist that it forgets to make the rest of the story worth watching.
