This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Factual errors When Mr. Brooks is reading the paper, the first page contains the story of Meeks's murder-suicide. In the upper section, there is a note about DNA showing Mr. Smith to be the Thumbprint Killer. DNA would take a week to process at very minimum (more likely six to eight weeks), at which point Meeks' story would no longer be breaking news as it is portrayed.… Expand

The real name of "Mr. Smith" is Graves Baffert. His surname is mentioned by the police, and his given name appears in a newspaper article late in the movie.

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, 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

After you left today, I realized that our friendship was a little one-sided. So tomorrow night when we meet, if you'd be so kind as to bring all the pictures and the memory card from your camera. That way we could like each other simply for who we are. If you don't show up, I will presume that you've gone to the police, and I will kill you.

The only bad thing about the movie, was, in my opinion, Demi Moore! Further, I'll have disagree with those who call it 'convoluted' for there is no such convolution. Actually, Mr. Brooks is quite clear, and easy to follow, engaging and dynamic; although it may definitely be predictable in some moments and there was room for improvement, it was still a good film. What I like the most are Coster and Hurt's performances...you even get to emphatize with them and like them. Their interplay is delightful, it was refreshing watching and listening to their characters interactions. Finally, as others, I too think that critics have been too harsh, they have missed the point of Mr. Brooks...while they often sometimes praise movies that are below the average. That is why critics should never be taken too seriously since all of them -for good or for bad- have a background that shapes their perception of a film...they do have bias, just as much as we do too.… Expand

I wasn't going to watch Mr. Brooks, but I'm glad that I did. It deserves a high score if only because the plot is truly unique. Stories involving mental illness and psychopathy are usually taboo for big productions.

La grande qualité du film, c'est son méchant "héros", le tueur compulsif à ses heures perdues ! un véritable assassin zinzin, un psychopathe américain très propret et "bien sous tout rapport"... mais sans aucun "code de conduite"La grande qualité du film, c'est son méchant "héros", le tueur compulsif à ses heures perdues ! un véritable assassin zinzin, un psychopathe américain très propret et "bien sous tout rapport"... mais sans aucun "code de conduite" contrairement à Dexter, si ce n'est celui très évident de ne pas se faire prendre...

Kevin Costner est certes un acteur irrégulier, inconstant mais qui sait briller le cas échéant dans certains rôles pas très nets (cf Waterworld ou Sens Unique). Il incarne ici et ainsi le tueur qu'on ne prend pas en sympathie mais qu'on ne hait pas non plus... Une interprétation subtile habilement épaulée par la petite voix dans sa tête qui prend forme sous les traits de William Hurt, joyeusement sardonique.

Alors évidemment, le scénario manque de rigueur et se fourvoie considérablement avec le personnage de la fliquette Demi Moore dont l'actrice a quelques difficultés à se dépêtrer. Actrice inconstante et inégale elle aussi, elle sait pourtant de temps à autre se montrer excellente... lorsqu'elle est cinglée (Cf A Armes égales). Ce qui n'est pas le cas ici.

Le film s'éparpille un peu trop alors qu'il devrait se concentrer sur sa trame principale, lui le tueur, sa fille chérie (qui fait des conneries) et l'admirateur. La fin bien que convenue -finalement- explore au moins un aspect de leur relation père-fille, un aspect psychologiquement torturé qui aurait mérité bien plus d'attention.

Monsieur Brooks loupe donc le coche mais d'assez peu en définitive, ce qui nous énerve un brin et ne nous console pas non plus. Le duo Costner-Hurt vaut le détour pour sa cynique drolerie en tout cas.… Expand
