At the Movies: 'Perfect Stranger' collapses under too many plot twists

By CHRISTY LEMIRE
AP Movie Critic

“Perfect Stranger” is one of those movies in which nothing and no one turns out the way they originally seemed. And, maddeningly, that's true of the movie itself, as well.

It begins life as a sleek, sexy thriller — an eminently watchable guilty pleasure under the direction of James Foley (”Glengarry Glen Ross”) with its fabulous-looking people and places — but eventually it collapses in a heap of plot twists that are annoyingly implausible.
