 Great Movie October 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
 zero stars! October 19, 2008

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.
Well, nothing happens, unless you enjoy seeing a 20-year old girl stabbing her father in the neck with a pair of scissors.
This film is an amoral piece of trash. It's typical of Hollywood: Go for brainless sensationalism, and forget anything meaningful or life-affirming--or even sensible.
The suspension-of-disbelief factor in this film is over the top: Demi Moore, who can't act and is nothing more than a magazine model, plays a homicide cop who just happens to be worth $60 million. Costner, as Brooks, goes to AA meetings because of his "addiction," which is serial killing. The moron played by Dana Cook just likes to see people getting killed because it's fun. William Hurt is an embarrassment as Brooks' alter ego. What a wonderful part, Mr. Hurt: You get to encourage a serial killer to keep on keeping on.
It never ceases to amaze me just how low Hollywood can go.
Some idiots think this film is some kind of brilliant farce or black comedy. Give me a break. Farce and black comedy require intelligence. Here there is none--and I mean none. Zero.
This is an incredibly bad movie--beyond bad. It's utterly senseless, and it's offensive to anyone who has a modicum of intelligence.
Hitchcock said, "Actors are cattle." This film proves the point. These so-called actors will do anything to make a buck, even if it's a film that presents the lowest level of human behavior as "entertainment."
Please don't not waste your money renting this film. Take the money and donate it to a charity that helps people. The morons who made this garbage don't deserve a dime of your money.
Mr. Brooks - DVD October 5, 2008
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 October 1, 2008

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.
One of the best thrillers to come out in the last 5 years September 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 very good as well, but her role could've used a bit more depth (and that wasn't her fault but the screen-writers'), yet it was still great to watch her as a troubled cop (she is quite convincing actually). The writing is superb, on so were the dialogs and the story itself. It's a rare great thriller and I really recommend it. You won't be dissapointed.
