Mr. Brooks was a pleasant surprise. I subscribe to EW, and I read the reviews of the movies I’m not sure I want to see. This one was lackluster. However, I was intrigued by the idea of Kevin Costner playing a villian – someone truly evil. He’s just always such a good guy, either overly ordinary or extra heroic.
Mr. Brooks attends AA meetings to deal with his addiction to killing. He has a healthy relationship with his wife and daughter. He has a very close and personal multiple personalilty named Marshall, played by William Hurt. And now he has ended his “sobriety” of two years by killing another young couple. But this time he makes a mistake and leaves the curtains open and in comes Dane Cook, playing “Mr. Smith”. Mr. Smith wants to go on a murder with Mr. Brooks and threatens to go to the police if he won’t play along. Demi Moore is a policewoman looking for the Thumbprint Killer (better known as Mr. Brooks).
I really enjoyed watching this movie and there were actually quite a few funny moments. However, a subplot involving his daughter is awkward and almost completely unnecessary when included in the flow of the story and Demi Moore gets her own subplot as well. Sometimes there is too much going on and all I wanted to do was ride along with Mr. Brooks and Mr. Smith and observe their amusing moments, whether intentional or not.
