The path leads her towards media mogul Harrison Hill (Bruce Willis at his sleazy nastiest), the CEO of a powerful advertising agency. When her best friend is murdered following a passionate fling with a married man, Rowena goes undercover to find the killer. Perfect Stranger centres on journalist Rowena Price (Oscar winner Halle Berry), a reporter for a respected New York newspaper. Set in the high-powered world of New York media, this psychological thriller is a sort of inverted Basic Instinct. PERFECT STRANGER may occasionally defy logic, but that is not likely to deter those hungering for a handsomely made, star-fueled studio film with plenty of surprises. Anastas Michos's cinematography gives Manhattan a slightly sinister glow of cool blue, appropriate to this tale in which nothing is what it seems, and trusting in someone is sure to cause regret-or worse.
The always watchable Berry makes us root for a character whose methods aren't always the most scrupulous, and Giovanni Ribisi does a lot with the "sidekick" role. It begins with a false setup, takes a whole other route, and makes a series of bizarre 11th hour revelations that not even the most seasoned viewer will be able to predict. With some help from her right-hand tech guru, Miles (Giovanni Ribisi), Rowena goes undercover as a temp at Hill's agency, where her own good looks are bound to draw Hill closer to her, taking her to the facts behind Grace's murder.No simple plot description can truly explain James Foley's (AT CLOSE RANGE) twisty, tech-y thriller. When her friend Grace (Nicky Lynn Aycox) is found murdered, the main suspect is revealed to be Harrison Hill (Bruce Willis), a philandering high-powered ad exec with a very jealous wife. senator's homosexual relationship with an intern are thwarted, Price's next chance at a big scoop falls right into her lap. Ace New York Courier reporter Rowena Price (Halle Berry) will do anything to get her story-even if it verges on the unethical.
