Critics Consensus

Despite the presence of Halle Berry and Bruce Willis, Perfect Stranger is too convoluted to work, and features a twist ending that's irritating and superfluous. It's a techno-thriller without thrills.

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

The movie doesn't add up to much: the plot meanders, there are too many red herrings, and the end doesn't really justify the means.

Time Out

The movie shows that the only thing worse than a generically screwy thriller is one with a selective narrator -- and one that doesn't give viewers a fair chance to play along.

...resembles one of those made-for-Lifetime thrillers that seem to crop up on a weekly basis...

Columbia seems to be on a one-studio mission to revive that very '90s of film genres, the erotic thriller--or are they determined to kill it off for good, considering such poor efforts as this listless Halle Berry vehicle?

Don't know what all the negative reviews are about. This is a wonderful movie with an unexpected ending - at least for me.

A very beautiful looking movie. The cinematography is top. The acting is very good. Don't let the negative reviews from critics discourage you from watching this gem. This movie is very underrated. It actually reminds me of a modern take on film noir. Not a lot of films stay with you after watching but this one definitely will consume your mind for some time after watching it.

Bruce Willis and Halle Berry's talent is wasted on a mediocre thriller with a cheap attempt at a plot twist that renders everything the viewer just watched meaningless. Perfect Stranger is a major pass.
