Average Rating: 
Rating: - An interesting character study of a serial killer could have been better
We find in the opening moments of Mr. Brooks that Kevin Costner's title character is a serial killer. We also find out that he is a devoted husband and father, a dedicated community philanthropist, and terrified at the prospect that he will be exposed as a killer.
His character is the best thing in the movie, even if it makes the audience uncomfortable that you are pushed into identifying with a murderer. The most interesting thing about the writing is that a second character, played ... Read More
Rating:  - I nice change in the genre.
This IS Kostner's best performance. And, the serial killer thriller has a fresh approach with some stable tried and true twists. I'm not actually a fan of this genre and I rented it because nothing else was good at Red Box. I'm glad I did. Might even buy it when it hits the 5 dollar bin.
Rating: - Serial murder as an intellectual pursuit
This is an interesting an intelligent movie about a man's obsession--addiction--for the thrill of taking human life. Mr. Brooks, although prominent and successful, is otherwise an ordinary Joe. Maybe a little too ordinary. He is efficient, loves his family and is a mild-mannered, low keyed guy. Unfortunately, he has an alterego in the form of a man, more forward and assertive than Brooks, constantly giving him dangerous advice.
His advice is to give into his impulses, track down people ... Read More
Rating: - Disturbing...intriguing...
By day Mr. Brooks is a philanthropic businessman, loving husband, and doting father. By night he is a serial killer who is "addicted" to killing. He is spurred on in his killing by a voice inside of him who is personified by William Hurt. In the past Kevin Costner has been over-rated in some of his movie roles, but this time he shows some real acting skill and succeeds in creating the "flat affect" that is so often part of a psychopathic personality. As has been pointed out, the plot is full of holes ... Read More
Rating: - Interesting and entertaining, but with serious flaws.
I don't have a problem with suspending disbelief for a film and the inplausible situations in this film are no exception. Overall, Mr. Brooks is a pretty good movie, though I do have two major reservations.
The first is a subplot involving an escaped murderer named Meeks who, with his psychotic girlfriend, make it their mission to exact revenge on Detective Atwood (Demi Moore). The problem here is that this subplot never even intersects the main story in an integral way. It seemed an excuse to ... Read More
