Surprisingly good!! Very suspenseful...great thriller that makes you think!! I might have to watch it again....
Another one of those "let's-try-to-make-an-intelligent-movie" kind of movie. May be contrived, but engaging nevertheless.
This movie has a very creepy vibe. Although it's not outstanding or outrageously awesome, it does have things that keep you interested. The ending definitely through me for a loop and I was left somewhat shocked!
A good twist at the end that is not at all predictable or obvious. Acting is slightly stiff, but not entirely unbelievable.
It's like a Shyamalan movie without Shyamalan.The film is not thrilling, suspenseful, or even remotely interesting since the direction is so abysmal, and the storyline is little less than mediocre.

The twist at the end is not eye-rolling, since you really don't care by the end of it. I weep for Bruce.
Critic Reviews
Reportedly, several endings were filmed; perhaps some of them make more sense than this one.full review
For those who are interested in Berry as both an actress and screen presence, this is one of the most satisfying films she has ever made. It capitalizes on her strengths and she owns the picture, from start to finish.full review
That's right, it's a techno thriller that treats the already clichéd topic of Web abuse with an idiotic sense of discovery.full review
A not-so-perfect 'sexual thriller' that is short on thrills and any semblance of logic.full review
Perfect Stranger isn't great art by any stretch, or even art by any stretch, but it is perfectly functional low-to-middlebrow entertainment -- a B movie at ease inside its own gaudy skin.full review
A laughably overheated thriller from the once promising James Foley.full review
There's a vast, possibly bottomless pit reserved for thrillers that are neither good nor bad enough to be truly entertaining, and James Foley's Perfect Stranger tumbles right into it.full review
Life is full of choices, and Halle Berry has made another bad one with Perfect Stranger, a perfectly off-putting thriller.full review
While the story becomes dauntingly complex as it goes, the finale resolves its multiple mysteries seamlessly. Perfect Stranger is the kind of polished diversion that the big studios should deliver twice a month, but don't.full review
