About this movie

Consider MR. BROOKS. A successful businessman, a generous philanthropist, a loving father and devoted husband. Seemingly, he's perfect. But Mr. Brooks has a secret -- he is an insatiable serial killer, so lethally clever that no one has ever suspected him -- until now. Academy Award winner Kevin Costner stars as Earl Brooks, a man who has managed to keep his two incompatible worlds from intersecting by controlling his cunning, wicked alter ego Marshall (Academy Award winner William Hurt) whom he blames for his wrongdoings. But now, as Mr. Brooks succumbs to one last murderous urge, an amateur photographer (Dane Cook) witnesses the crime. Suddenly Brooks finds himself entangled in the dark agenda of an opportunistic bystander, as well as hunted by the unorthodox and tenacious detective Tracy Atwood (Demi Moore). Can Mr. Brooks outsmart his adversaries and conceal his shocking double life from his wife (Marg Helgenberger) and daughter (Danielle Panabaker) or will someone expose...

Did not like it, stupid and poorly put together, poorly written. The ending was terrible also. I guess if you like stupid and weird it will do. Kevin Costner was boring. Too much was unclear, such as who was his buddy Earl. What happened with the "almost got him" from Demi Moore. Again, left out as half the movie was. You may say it's all in your imagination but more clarity was needed.

I don't know if I'm watching the same movie as everyone who is doing these reviews but it wasn't all that great. It was slow to the point where you could skip the first hour and not miss anything. Totally disappointed

Love this movie, Costner really stepped out of the comfort zone, and add William Hurt! Just gold. This movie was and is under rated. It might not have the shock value of American Psycho, but it does it in aces
