A journalist goes undercover to ferret out businessman Harrison Hill as her childhood friend's killer. With Halle Berry, Bruce Willis, Giovanni Ribisi, Richard Portnow. Specializing in sugarcane-distilled delights, the cozy Havana-inspired lounge of Capitol Hill's Rumba (1112 Pike St, 583-7177) is a soothing place to pass a rainy winter evening. Perfect Stranger: Directed by James Foley.
