Perfect Stranger - quick review

Believe the critics, this film is a stinker. Halle Berry needs to learn to pick better scripts because this one falls apart in the last act.

The script is just too clumsily executed, and there are big plotholes that can't be ignored, and undermine the first 2/3 of the film. Overall, a frustrating viewing experience.

I'll give it 1.5 stars, or a grade of D+.

Patman, if I may ask, what made you want to go see this in the first place?

It was a rainy day and my house is a wreck.

Glad you confirmed what I thought from the trailer Patman. I usually see almost every major release that comes out, but I decided to take a rare pass on this one.

Yeah, definitely give this one a pass. I was bored out of my mind. Nothing really original. The computer scenes were laughably bad.

Could somebody spoil the "gotcha" ending for this?

Spoiler:
Halle Berry is the killer. It's completely fucking ridiculous, but by the point it's revealed you don't really care because you're down with whatever makes the credits roll faster.

Thanks for the help. I knew that it would be a pile of crap, but somehow I kept getting a nagging tug to put it in my Netflix list. Knowing that, I think my mind will be put at ease.

I saw this on a preview DVD screener -- don't worry, the legal kind.

Absolutely terrible film!
