    • Trivia
      The film was shot mostly at night using Sony digital cameras and anamorphic lenses. Much of the shooting used available light to create a "mysterious" look because "David wanted the film to be dark," according to the film's director of photography Peter Simonite.
    • Goofs
      The detective mentions getting a subpoena to search a suspect's apartment. Subpoenas are used to obtain records or compel someone to appear in court. If a dwelling is to be searched, a search warrant is the proper item to use. A seasoned detective would know the difference between the two.

    Just a brief thought on this thriller.

    The perfect guy is the kind of flick your girlfriend is half way through watching when you get home and even though you know exactly what will happen scenes before they do, you sit down and watch the rest with your partner as it chugs along.

    This was a flick I always said to watch when I wasn't there and I found myself enjoying it.

    It's well paced, some solid supporting cast and the escalation of the antagonist doesn't feel forced.

    Give it a shot.... When there's nothing else.
