Surrender

While it begins dully enough for an investigative thriller, Perfect Stranger quickly skids off into abject foolishness.

I just saw the movie and the ending saved it by giving it a C, otherwise it merited a GENEROUS D!

Halle Bery gives another timid performance, while Bruce Willis goes through the motion - he can sleepwalker better than anyone in the business. The only bright spot was Josie - Daniella van Graas. The girl shows promise.

It’s not so much the endless heavy-handed clues, outmoded dialogue, or totally untrustworthy traits of the main characters that make the movie so unforgivable; it’s the purposeless ending that eschews all previous traits, dialogue, and clues.
