Summary: Very Strange And Extremely Entertaining
Comment: Wow! This has to be one of the more unusual movies I've ever seen, one that is leaves you shaking your head in amazement. I am hesitant to say too much for fear of ruining this for anyone who hasn't seen it. There is so much one could write, pro and con, about the material in here. Suffice to say if you like modern-day film noir, or "neo noir," as its often called.....then check this out.
This is pure entertainment, two hours of a story that grabs you right from the start and never lets go; a very involving story. Kevin Costner and William Hurt are tremendous in here, and worth the price of the rental alone. The whole cast was good but the dialog between those two guys - one real and one imaginary - have to be heard to be believed. (After a second viewing, I'd have to add Dane Cook's blackmailer character as equally fascinating.)
If you want something a little thought-provoking, edgy-yet-moralistic, good acting and photography, this is a pretty good value for your rental money. I've read where the Blu-Ray version on this movie looks and sounds outstanding, too.

Summary: Great Movie
Comment: 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.

Summary: zero stars!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Mr. Brooks
Comment: 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.

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.
