Mr. Brooks is brilliant. It is, to date, the single good movie to ever come out of Portland, Oregon. I give it shining FOUR COURSE MEAL review.
Kevin Costner is wonderful. He is at times disarming, charming, a loving father, bloody bonkers, a vicious serial killer, and a brilliant businessman. I'm trying to find something I don't like about this film, and you know what? I can't find anything. The script is twisted and awesome, the direction superb, as stated before Costner brings in a riveting performance. Some of the auxiliary cast is slightly forgettable, but the root of this beautiful and dark film is Costner himself; he is the foundation from which this story springs, and without whom Mr. Brooks would simply be your "run-of-the-mill" thriller.
Run, do not walk, to the video store and rent this film.
