Rowena takes Grace's evidence, but doesn't agree to do the story. She wants Hill exposed as a cheater and a liar and she wants Rowena to do the exposing. Hill, a married man, breaks off their affair in due time, but Grace refuses to go away quietly. Grace met Hill in an Internet chat room and became sexually involved with him. Grace is involved with Harrison Hill (Bruce Willis), the owner of the largest advertising agency in New York, H2A. Grace seems to know all about Rowena's secret identity as David Shane, and hands Rowena a story that will help her rebuild her career and show the men at her paper that she really is a great journalist. Rowena quits her job in a huff and runs out of the bar, only to be followed by a friend from her past, Grace. Rowena is partying in a bar with Miles, celebrating the success of her latest story, a senator who has a penchant for sleeping with his male interns, when her boss comes in to tell her that the story is being shut down by the bigwigs at her paper. She writes under the name of David Shane, perhaps in an effort to give her stories more clout among those she seeks to bring to justice.
#The perfect stranger movie halle berry movie
"In the movie Perfect Stranger Halle Berry plays Rowena, a journalist dedicated to uncovering greed and corruption among people in positions of power (read: rich, white men) with the help of her tech-savvy partner in crime, Miles (Giovanni Ribisi). Think the director of this film has made a point of picking out the lowest cut dresses he could find for Berry to fit into. Though Willis is on the cover of this film he realy takes a bit of a background role it is Berry who is the main actress in this. One big problem with the film is that it does at times try to be clever what with all the internet chat, breaking through firewalls etc the problem with all this is it has been done so many times before. Sort of reminds me a littel of Gothica Berrys other film (more in the sense of there being a traumatic event in the past that someone in the film has to come to terms with) The film does kind of drag on but their is a nice little twist at the end, you are thrown a couple of hints to this throughout the film but it is only at the end when they all come together. Berry decides to investigate by posing as a temp in his company and on an internet chat/date service which Willis uses to pick up women for his numerous affairs. Have to say that for about 2/3 of the film you are realy struggling to keep your attention especially due to the plot realy not helping much.įilm starts with the brutal murder of a friend of Halle Berry, prime suspect is Bruce Willis who runs a large company. "This is a pretty good film but it realy does take its time to get going.
