Kevin Costner as a warped serial killer, a pillar of the community whose dark side is embodied by an on-screen William Hurt? You have to admit, it sounds intriguing, right? Mr. Brooks is the vehicle for this unsavory story, and it turns out to be a lot less kicky than it sounds. Mr. Brooks is a Portland, Oregon tycoon and philanthropist whose "addiction" to murder is suddenly re-surfacing--with plenty of help from his sneering alter ego, who generally sits in the back of the car, goading Mr. Brooks on. (The other characters can't see William Hurt in all this, of course.) The unbelievably convoluted plot has Mr. Brooks confronted by a blackmailer (comedian Dane Cook) who has a surprising twist on things, and trailed by a cop (Demi Moore) who comes equipped with her own set of professional and marital woes. As if that weren't enough, when Brooks's daughter (Danielle Panabaker) comes home, it becomes clear that some traits run in the family.
The scenes with Costner and Hurt are the best stuff in the film, even if director Bruce Evans can't figure out how to play fair visualizing their presence to others. But the script, which among other whoppers make Demi Moore's character a millionaire, is just too unbelievable to stomach. If William Hurt's character provided a running commentary for this movie, there wouldn't be anything left after he got through mocking it. --Robert Horton

Rating:  - Very Strange And Extremely Entertaining
Wow! This has to be one of the more unusual movies I've ever seen, one that is leaves you shaking your head in amazement. I am hesitant to say too much for fear of ruining this for anyone who hasn't seen it. There is so much one could write, pro and con, about the material in here. Suffice to say if you like modern-day film noir, or "neo noir," as its often called.....then check this out.
This is pure entertainment, two hours of a story that grabs you right from the start and never lets ... Read More
Rating: - Great Movie
Kevin Costner did a fantastic job with this film. Its really hard to explain why this serial killer story is any different than any other one... but it really is - its a great film and I personally recommend it.
Rating:  - zero stars!
Amazon.com doesn't provide an option for zero stars, but that's my rating.
There are so many reviews of this film, I'm reluctant to add to them. But I can't resist.
My girlfriend and I rented it, just out of curiosity. Twenty minutes into it, we were looking at each other and asking, "Should we turn this off now?" We asked each other this question three times as the film got stupider and stupider. It was like watching a traffic accident: You know better, but you want to see what happens. ... Read More
Rating: - Mr. Brooks - DVD
For not knowing what it was about, it is a very good movie, I'm a Kevin Costner fan anyway, so I like all his movies, no matter what the critics say. Worth the points!!!
Rating: - Mr. Brooks
Mr. Brooks is one of the best suspense movies I have ever seen. His conversations with his 2nd personality add alot to the unfolding of events. Kevin Costner is amazing.
