Review of Mr. Brooks (2007) by Billys. — 31 May 2007
When Mr. Brooks is about Mr. Brooks and his alter-ego Marshall it is a surprisingly good movie. But Mr. Brooks isn't just about Mr. Brooks. There's the creepy peeping -tom who is blackmailing Mr.
Brooks who has issues, there's the detective on the case who has issues with an ex-husband who has issues, there's an escaped convict on the loose who has issues, and there's a daughter home from college with issues that might be a little too close to home, and that is the problem with Mr.
Brooks. He's a serial killer with too many issues to just be a story about him, which is the best thing about Mr. Brooks underneath all the other issues surrounding him! The makers have certainly set us up for a possible franchise with unlimited sources for a sequel.
Costner and Hurt are terrific, I just have issues with all the other characters.
