Halle Berry hasn't brought such a work for a long time. It is said that she plans to rely on this film to make a comeback. In my opinion, it is still very hopeful, at least better than her previous "Catwoman" "Be strong.

As a female reporter for a well-known New York newspaper, Rowena (Halle Berry) is sexy and has many friends. But just recently, a close friend of hers was mysteriously killed. There are multiple doubts in the case that caught Rowena's attention. As a result, Rowena, whose excitement in the investigation of her career as a reporter has been rising again and again, launches an investigation into the case on her own, hoping to avenge her friend as soon as possible. After a series of forensic searches, all doubts focus on a millionaire named Harrison Hill (Bruce Willis). This man runs a powerful corporate organization in New York. In order to further find strong evidence in this big guy. In addition to relying on her work experience accumulated over the years as a reporter, Rowena boldly used her personal charm as a sexy woman. She can be described as doing everything possible to get close to Harrison Hill. Even more disguised, as a temporary agent Katherine, "undercover" to Hill's big company, looking for evidence everywhere. In addition, Rowena continued to use her computer network skills to get closer to the tycoon Hill in the virtual space. Unexpectedly, in the process of avenging the deceased, Rowena also fell into the trap of lust, and gradually came to the point where it was difficult to escape. Is the truth revealed? Or burn all jade? Or a prison in Shenxian County? Everything is getting more and more confusing...

After reading the introduction, many people thought that Harry played "seduction" again, but it was not. From the beginning to the end of the whole film, you can hardly see the characteristics of her vase. Instead, she uses superb acting to bring us step by step into this perfect murder story. After watching it for less than 10 minutes, I was already attracted by the plot. Director James Foley used to be the best at thrillers, and this time he was able to do it with ease. Through the heroine's attempt to win the Pulitzer Prize to the murder of the sister next door, Harry played very well, decisively, shrewdly and capable, and played a female reporter very vividly, and I admired it very much! Coupled with the strong portrayal of the characters, I really like the two roles of Rowena and Miles. At the beginning of the film, Rowena's planned news headlines were ruthlessly canceled by her boss. Rowena expressed her dissatisfaction with the "official protection" of the current society, (same feeling), and therefore quit her job (the real world is not so good). Some of the directors who were nervous and needed to cut off the power when they approached Harrison Hill handled it well, and the atmosphere and character performance were good. The perverted incident of Miles was found to make people fully realize that this is a thriller. Compared with those disgusting blood horror movies in Hollywood, Perfect Stranger is obviously more hidden and inner.

The ending was beyond my expectations, the director did not develop as the previous plot reasoning, but made the most unlikely person become the most likely person, and carried out a perfect murder, even in the fast film. At the end I thought Miles was the culprit, depressed.

What I also want to say is that although Bruce Willis has a lot of roles in the film, I always feel that his acting skills have not been well performed. It feels like it's okay to change to a general actor, it's purely to improve the box office appeal, right? But because of this, I'm looking forward to "Die Hard 4" even more. I wonder what kind of personal heroism can Lao Bu, who is over 50 years old, bring us?

This film cleverly uses the popular Internet as the background. Modern people also have more or less personal views on the virtual world in it. Everyone can speak freely on the Internet, and even keep secrets because others cannot know yours. In the case of identity, it is made public to the public. At the same time, the close friends around you may be strangers on the Internet, and the friends on the Internet are strangers in reality. This kind of unreal feeling is very suitable for making a suspense thriller, so here I am Strongly recommend everyone to visit.
