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 an insatiable serial killer, so lethally clever that no one has ever suspected him -- until now.
Kevin Costner stars as Earl Brooks, a man who has managed to keep his two incompatible worlds from intersecting by controlling his cunning, wicked alter ego Marshall (William Hurt) whom he blames for his wrongdoings. But now, as Mr. Brooks succumbs to one last murderous urge, an amateur photographer (Dane Cook) witnesses the crime. Suddenly Brooks finds himself entangled in the dark agenda of an opportunistic bystander, as well as hunted by the unorthodox and tenacious detective Tracy Atwood (Demi Moore). Can Mr. Brooks outsmart his adversaries and conceal his shocking double life from his wife (Marg Helgenberger) and daughter (Danielle Panabaker) or will someone expose his crimes and his identity once and for all in this unpredictable and electrifying new thriller.

This could have been so 'samey', but was so sparklingly different instead, I really expected a normal 'good' Costner film, but this had real interest intreague and differences. Costner plays Mr Brooks, a wealthy highly respected businessman, with a dark side. William Hurt as Marshall, is brilliantly cast and written as Mr Brooks dark side incarnate, the black side others cant see but is a completely real companion to Mr Brooks, the devil inside him urging him to embrace the side of him that enjoys murder, despite his resistance. But that is not all there is to this one, there is a good deal more, and all of it fascinatingly entertaining and watchable. One very small gripe (very small) the ending is a bit frayed and not quite satisfying enough... that said, I would very highly recommend this film, its certainly well above a regular movie, really good stuff.
costner very creepy,excellent edge of seat stuff!
