Mr. Brooks Movie Review



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. Earl Brooks is a man who has managed to keep his two incompatible worlds from intersecting by controlling his cunning, wicked alter ego Marshall. But now, as Mr. Brooks succumbs to one last murderous urge, an amateur photographer 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. Can Mr. Brooks outsmart his adversaries and conceal his shocking double life from his wife and daughter--or will someone expose his crimes and his identity once and for all?

I thought this was a good movie and I would rate it with the Yahoo viewers at a B- or maybe a B+. Kevin was great at playing the bad guy and as usual his character was flawless. He has this ability to make you feel what he is feeling. I love him as an actor. Him and John Cusack, love their ability to be real.

Anyway, lots of twist and unexpected turn of events. It took me by surprise once or twice and I liked that a lot. I recommend renting it for the weekend!

i had a feeling Costner would make some kind of a comeback; plus it's interesting how Dane Cook went from stand up comedian to starring in a ton of major movies
