Description:
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 also the notorious Thumbprint Killer and no one has ever suspected it... until now.
Amazon.com:
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

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!!!

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.

Although Kevin Costner hasn't been in a "big time" movie in the last 10 years of so, he's still one of today's best actors. And with this movie, he really came back. I can only say good things about it. It's just one of the best ones to come out in 2007, it's a perfect thriller, without even one dull or boring moment. The suspense is amazing, and so is the acting - especially that of Costner and the co-star William Heart (he's just one of the best evil guys on screen, he really is). Demi Moore is ... Read More

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

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.
