        <title>Mr. Brooks — The Serial Killer with a Day Job</title>
        <link>http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/04/Mr.-Brooks.aspx</link>
        <description>Killing people is not much of a hobby if you&amp;rsquo;re into part-time pursuits. According to most of the serial killer media of the last 20 years, if you&amp;rsquo;re into shuffling people off this mortal coil, you better be rich, off society&amp;rsquo;s grid, or have a whole lot of time on your hands, because repeatedly killing people takes some planning and a whole lot of attention to detail. How Dr. Lecter managed to see patients, keep up on current literature and still find time to prepare gourmet meals is a logistical question &amp;quot;Hannibal&amp;quot; creator Thomas Harris never considered. 
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 
Earl Brooks (Kevin Costner) may have the answer. Sure, he&amp;rsquo;s a successful businessman in Portland, Ore., but he&amp;rsquo;s also the notorious Thumbprint Killer, a serial murderer who has managed to keep his hand out of the homicide jar for two years. But, his alter ego Marshall (William Hurt) doesn&amp;rsquo;t like being kept in too long, and soon enough, the two go for a spin. Unfortunately, an intensely annoying Peeping Tom with a camera (Dane Cook) gets photographic evidence of Mr. Brooks&amp;rsquo; activities, and soon he&amp;rsquo;s blackmailing our man Brooks for a piece of the action, while a determined cop (Demi Moore) circles ever closer.
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 
This description may sound routine, but it&amp;rsquo;s just the setup for MR. BROOKS, one of the more involving -- and oddball -- serial killer flicks of the last few years.</description>

            <description>Have not seen the move yet, but will soon.  Previews make me want to see (don't they always).  Will come back with comment as soon as I see it.</description>

            <description>I liked the movie but i thought that the photographer was &lt;br /&gt;a naive idiot... as if Mr. Brooks was going to be bribed... &lt;br /&gt;and Demi Moore's charector had too much on her plate..</description>

            <description>what's with Dane Cook, that guy has the screen presence of a MySpace.com goober Wait! He is  Myspace.com goober! . His comedy tour show on HBO was unwatchable, so at least that warned me not to see this garbage flick. Costner seems to be done too. Rent Fandango, it's one of his best, and his first starring role.</description>

            <description>Loved it!!! Creepy, entertaining &amp;amp; worthy. Everyone in this film did a great job, I liked Kevin Costner's performance. You don't know whether to loathe him or love him. Demi Moore also did a good job- I like her films where her character is tough (like G.I. Jane). She really shines in this suspenseful thriller. Can't wait for it to come to DVD.</description>
