Meet the Characters Although the adaption may be different from the upcoming miniseries, there could still be similar plot points. If you are as excited as I am about this gripping new release, then take some time to read (or re-read) Nine Perfect Strangers. The movie also stars Melissa McCarthy, Michael Shannon, Luke Evans, Bobby Cannavale, Regina Hall, and Samara Weaving. This novel is about a very unique health resort, led by Masha (played by Kidman) and featuring nine unsuspecting guests. That's why I'm so excited that her latest novel, Nine Perfect Strangers, is being adapted as a Hulu miniseries by David E. As the author of the wildly successful Big Little Lies - as well as a few of my other favorites like The Hypnotist's Love Story and What Alice Forgot - Moriarty is a master of delightfully relatable characters and page-turning suspense. (Stars 5.When Liane Moriarty writes a book, I'm the first in line to buy it. James Foley the director, lost the plot in the end, but leaves behind an engrossing story overall. The surprise pack was Giovanni Ribisi as the colleague and close friend of Halle Berry who has a huge crush on her and manipulates Halle's effort to solve the mystery. Bruce Willis does not have much to do and as usual he mumbles his way through the movie and at times displays his whimsical temper. At times she has captured some emotions perfectly. Halle Berry looks good and tries to act sincerely. The ending was a bit lame, and there are lots of loose ends hanging.

With one mission unsuccessful due to politics and power-play in not covering the sting by the news industry and she quitting her job she pursues Harrison Hill played by Bruce Willis to expose the murder of her friend. The story is about a journalist played by Halle Berry, who does sting operations on rich powerful businessmen. I chose this, just because it was a new movie. I had to choose between a 1918 Austrian silent movie and this. Perfect Stranger I had read really bad reviews of the movie on the internet and I was not sure whether I should go to see this movie or not.
