Israeli-born writer/director Rod Lurie (The Contender) delivers a sense of verit to a taut political thriller that has all the earmarks of having been based on the real case that inspired it -- the purposeful exposure of Valerie Plame Wilson's covert identity as a CIA Operations Officer by the Bush-Cheney administration. That tragic and possibly treasonous "get-even" act by the 2003 White House provides Lurie's fictional tale an unequivocal basis of credibility. read the full review | |

 | | Perfect Stranger (Fullscreen) | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | |  | Perfect Stranger - DVD Review By: J.D. McNamara - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 8/23/2007 8:09 PM | | Laughter is defined as an expression of merriment and amusement, and as such is usually a telltale sign of entertainment. If Perfect Stranger is anything (it certainly is NOT a stylish psychological thriller) it is proof that within the realm of film, laughter does not always indicate entertainment. Looking back on this horrible mess of a movie a day after watching it, I can only seem to recall how unintentionally funny it was. By the time the film starts to unravel itself, it's far more entertaining to ridicule the ridiculous twists and turns of the plot than to actually care about who did it and why. In the end, it's much more fulfilling to simply let out a hearty laugh rather than gawking open-mouthed at the screen and asking yourself, "why did I just watch that'" read the full review | |

What follows in the movie is the ups and down of their tumultuous relationship.

When one thinks of political assassinations, a couple of guys driving by a raconteur standing amidst a crowd then hitting him over the head with a pipe before driving away doesn't exactly leap to mind. And yet Costa-Gravas had the presence of mind to turn the tepid story of thinly-veiled police corruption in 1963 Greece into Z, and somehow the world bought into it. Nominated for five Oscars, Z would eventually win Best Foreign Film and Best Film Editing, which will forever baffle me, as Z is one of the least competently edited films I've ever seen. read the full review | |
