Halle Berry's strong performance and a cool twist overcomes conventional plot
Harvey S. Karten,
COMPUSERVE
The film could have used more moments of tension but bears particular merit in Halle Berry's stunning portrayal of obsessive behavior. Bruce Willis and Giovanni Ribisi do well as her foils, while the computer, particularly its capacity for sexy instant messenging, serves nicely as a silent, uncredited performer.

Derives some novelty value from its colorblind casting
Scott Foundas
Village Voice
But as a thriller, it's so by-the-numbers that it's hardly worth keeping count. In the end, so much damning evidence has been amassed against nearly all the main characters that the final revelation feels like the one that merely tested the best. Perhaps, Clue-style, they should have included them all. It certainly would have lent new meaning to the expression, "Colonel Mustard did it in the pantry."

A twist-burdened techno-thriller that would be by-the-numbers if it could count. (one star out of four)
Dan Jolin
Empire
There’s little storytelling craft in evidence and scant regard for the planting of subtle clues. Instead, we trudge down the occasional blind alley, chewing joylessly on a scrap or two of past-its-sell-by-date red herring before we stumble over the point in the script where it says “[insert twist here]”. That said twist is inserted with all the finesse of a square peg bludgeoned hurriedly into a round hole only adds insult to injury.

Perfect Stranger Grade: C

The commercial success of "Gothika," Halle Berry's previous star vehicle, must have encouraged her and Revolution Studio to make "Perfect Stranger," a techno noir thriller about deceit, duplicity, conspiracy, and how a person's traumatic past continues to exert fatal influence on the present.
