Review of Mr. Brooks (2007) by Mai L — 04 Mar 2011
The character.
"Mr. Brooks" Kevin Costner gives the term serial killer a whole new perspective, at least to me. A great performance by Kevin Costner and William Hurt really make this happen in a way that you understand whats going on in Mr. Brooks' life, all his problems and how he copes with them.
Dane Cook deliverers a very solid performance as Mr. Smith, the almost wannabee protégé of Mr. Brooks, and doesn't in anyway disappoint.
Demi Moore is in charge of the more lighthearted part of the story, as the struggling detective. Her character as the strong woman trying to show her father and the world that she is well capable of controlling her life, has some similarities to Mr. Brooks' daughter, in the way that she also is the daughter of a rich and very powerful man, thus desperately seeking his acceptance.
