Perfect Stranger (2007) 6/10

Starring : Halle Berry, Bruce Willis, Giovanni Ribisi, Gary Dourdan, Jason Antoon, Nicki Aycox
Director : James Foley
Running Time : 105 mins

Intrepid reporter Rowena Price (Berry) goes undercover at an advertising agency owned by sleazy businessman Harrison Hill (Willis) who she believes is somehow involved in the murder of her friend Grace (Aycox), who may have been pregnant by him at the time of her death, but as her investigation continues she starts to suspect that the killer might be someone closer to home.

There's some obvious plot twists and some hammy acting in this psychological thriller that puts Berry very much in the driving seat, and to ill effect. Some of the so called tense moments feel too convoluted for my liking, and the attempts to place obstacles in both the characters and the viewers way as to who the killer is seem far to tacked on. On a better note, Ribisi is very good as Price's colleague Miles.
