Mr. Brooks (2007)
7/10
Quite a regular guy!
27 July 2007
Mr. Brooks (Kevin Costner) is a successful business man. He's also a family man, who loves his dear wife and daughter. If you met him on the street or during business, surely you'd say he's quite a regular guy!

Unfortunately he's also an addict with a dark secret. During his latest ritual, he makes a terrible mistake, and accidentally shares his dark secret with a nosy neighbor, enter Mr. Smith (Dane Cook).

Mr. Smith is intrigued by what captivates Mr. Brooks, and he wants to be part of it.

Detective Tracy Atwood (Demi Moore) is hot on the case though. Trailing the acts of the two as closely as possible. Eventually she becomes personally involved, as Mr. Brooks cleverly incorporates her personal life with his addiction.

This is a good movie and is enjoyable as a psycho thriller. The acting is solid, Costner and William Hurt (as Marshall) work well together and complement each other in their roles. However the story does have a couple plot holes, which for me prevent it from scoring higher, although 7/10 is a strong rating anyway.
