Perfect Stranger

James Foley has directed some fine films such as GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, AT CLOSE RANGE and even an episode of TWIN PEAKS...but you'd never know it here. Halle Berry has done some great work and even won an Oscar but by God you would never know it here. Giovanni Ribisi has also done some mighty fine work and once again I have to say you would never know it here. PERFECT STRANGER is fucking awful...and speaking of "fucking" this has to be my biggest complaint of all with the celuloid stinker. It's as if the script was written by a Mormon or something...as in somebody who doesn't use the word fuck in their regular vocabulary. I say this because the word is used throughout the film and it seems about as out of place as farting in a humidor. Then we have the acting. Now, no diss to Bruce Willis but when he stands out as the thespian of the cast you just know you are up the intellectual shit creek without a spoon and I have to say you can almost see he thinking to himself on camera about the ways he will murder his agent when he's done with this clunker.....which would actually make for a good film I think. On a positve note we get to see CSI's Gary Dourdan earning a big screen paycheck but even he looks like he's rather be scraping some week old decomposing corpse out of a theatre seat. What I'm getting at here is PERFECT STRANGE is so "fucking" bad it's not even laughable and I think you would be better served washing the cat for entertainment.
