   Mr. Brooks is a clique film, there's no surprise there. but those cliques end up turning into an original and shocking film that you just can't resist. Mr. Brooks delves into deep into the psychological aspect of Multiple Split Personality Disorder or MSPD for short. The films show a man battling with himself, trying to fight the urges to kill. But his other half has such control over him and his desires that Earl Brooks just can't help himself. Mr. Brooks works very well as a film. It tells a story that very few people can relate but most of us can understand, A man battling his inner demons. Trying to resist the urge to kill, trying but failing to break the habit; but the one big question you should be asking yourself is not why but how. How can a mild mannered businessman and father turn into such a monster? That's the big question, and here's the answer, we may never know. Or perhaps we are not meant to know. Mr. Brooks is an amazing film that blends mind blowing suspense and horror that will leave you looking over your shoulders for weeks. I very, very highly recommend this movie.… Expand

   I loved this movie and I think it deserves an 8 because yes the movie had just the right amount of tension and you felt for the characters. The only thing that I wish was in this movie was a couple of flash backs to show how he started. I would love to see a pre-qual to this movie to see the start of Mr. Brooks and then the movie could leave off where this movie started.… Expand

   A movie with Kevin Costner that's actually good?!? Both Costner and William Hurt play a serial killer and, surprisingly, Costner puts in a decent acting job. Now, on the other hand, Demi Moore is in this movie also, and her performance leaves a lot to be desired. I swear, she's had so many facelifts she can't make any facial expressions! The ending is a bit different too, not your usual happy Hollywood ending...… Expand

   Despite a pretty cool premise, this movie soon descends into tedium and it actually put me to sleep at times, something I haven't done in a movie theater in years. The plot was interesting. A man is deeply respected in his community, has a loving wife and a daughter in college, and he seems to have a successful job. But by night, he's a serial killer. What could have turned into a fun movie ends up being completely boring as the movie takes itself WAY too seriously despite a very unbelievable premise. The plot also gets scattered, with an additional killer introduced (who has no importance whatsoever to the story) and a divorce that the cop (played by a pretty attractive Demi Moore) is going through...it's all unnecessary and it just slows the movie down. The direction lacks style; the movie just plods along, lazily ambling from scene to scene. Worse is the musical score, which is literally sleep-inducing, even during the (few) action scenes. And I just didn't find the alter-ego scary or intimidating at all. There is really nothing redeemable about this movie at all. When there's blood on the screen (which happens very occasionally) it's interesting but otherwise, this is just a boring movie about boring people talking about boring things. Demi Moore's police investigation is the only plot here that's mildly interesting and had this movie been released in the 90's it may have worked. But with so many shows like CSI, there's really no reason to go to the movies to see something like this. Just not recommended. A pretty big waste of time. Boring.… Expand
