Perfect Stranger

It’s hard to choose the ickiest part of this sleazy thriller, which stars Halle Berry as an investigative newspaper reporter who sneaks around flirtatious online chat rooms. I guess I’d have to go with the way the movie enhances the lewd chats that Berry’s character has with a womanizing advertising executive and possible murderer (Bruce Willis). Instead of just seeing the conversation as it is typed onto the screen, her computer has been equipped to simulate his voice, so that we can “hear” Willis say things like, “What color are they?” Perfect Stranger makes you feel like you need a shower.
