The story has elements of interest: the addicted killer, Costner, who would like to quit and who attends AA meetings, but gets talked into falling back into the habit by his alter ego, played, convincingly, by Hurt. The suspicion, near certainty, that his cute daughter inherited the craving. The cop, Moore, who is amazingly rich and fights the greed of a divorcing husband and his lawyer girlfriend. The punk who blackmails the killer into sharing the high life. All this could have been interesting, but is quite boring. The story as a whole is just too unbelievable. The details are not fully thought through. Maybe it is just too much improbability at one go. More Like Mr. Right !! Rating: 5 I have longed for an interesting movie about a serial killer with depth since watching Silence of the Lambs in 1991. Its 2007 and I have finally seen that longing fufilled. Only a 16 year wait. Now if only they could make a good vampire movie ! Mr. Brooks was emotionally delicious and satisfying. And the music was perfect for the imagery and the atmosphere, and for whatever else you could want. I write this empassioned review several months after seeing the film. I still get excited about having seen it every time its mentioned. And I hear there are sequals to be made. How devine ! I hope the Veils are on those soundtracks as well. This movie lends itself well to : Dexter ( Showtime series on DVD ) Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay ( Book show was based on ) VNV Nation - Testament ( CD that feels emotionally right for the subject ) Failing to Deliver Rating: 2 "Mr Brooks" was a disappointing film. It had a good cast with Kevin Costner and Demi Moore in lead roles and a wonderful co-starring role for William Hurt as the alter ego to Mr Brooks. In fact, the film started well but thereafter fell apart. My major criticism of the film is that it just became plain implausible and far too contrived. Perhaps many people are credulous and just accepted the plot. I couldn't manage this part. By the time the film ended, I felt relieved. Murder had been heaped upon murder with each twist of the plot becoming increasingly unrealistic. Overall, given the quality of the cast, this film left me feeling cheated. Potentially, it had much to offer but, in the end, delivered little.
