Perfect Stranger

Last night the kids were at a slumber party, so my wife and I went out to eat and to see a movie. We got to the theater and nothing was playing that we wanted to see, so we went to Blockbuster.

We came across Perfect Stranger, a movie featuring Bruce Willis and Halle Berry. I hadn’t heard of it before, but these are 2 pretty decent actors…right? That logic worked to get me to bring the movie home, but I regret that.

To be fair, Willis and Berry did a pretty good job acting. I’m not a big Halle Berry fan, but whatever. She did ok. Bruce was more believable in his role, but his wasn’t the primary role.

Now that we’re done being fair to the actors, this was just a stupid movie. It’s one of those that tells you the ending in a way that you don’t know you’re being told, and in a way that you’d never be able to figure out. So about 2/3 of the way through the movie you think “Oh. Well, that’s dumb.” And then you figure you should go ahead and leave it on because maybe there’s a twist.

Nope, no twist. It happens just like you think it will.

So the official moreron.com recommendation: don’t bother.

Did any of you see this movie? If so, what did you think?

Yeah, watched that one a few months back. Pretty formulaic. Sometimes you wonder what actors of that quality are thinking when they sign up for a picture like that one.
