This got a bit overlooked this summer which is a shame because it's a very, very good film. Anyone else see it? It's one of the best serial killer movies I've seen in a long long time.

(SPOILERS)
Mr. Brooks himself is a really good character. He is a true anti-hero. He's a loving family man and a well-respected community leader who just happens to be a thrill-killer. Unlike a lot of movie serial killers, he does not kill because he wants to make a grand statement or because of abuse in his past or anything like that. Mr. Brooks kills because he is completely addicted to it. He would never admit it, but he really likes it. You NEVER see that in movies.
I think it's his utter lack of any sort of motive that makes this movie so damn creepy. Plus, it's both scary AND funny. I respect a film that can do that and do that well.

Posted: 8/17/07 at 2:28amsounds interesting. i also read that Costner already has a part 2 and 3 written. I know it wasn't a hit, but I think they are still doing a sequel.

Posted: 8/17/07 at 2:32amI'd like to see the story continue. The ending leaves a lot unanswered.

A great movie, saw it on Wednesday night. The whole cast is pertect, there where a couple of moments where i nearly screamed out loud.
This will be one of those great overlooked movies, if it's still playing near you, see it at the cinema.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 8/17/07 at 2:34pmsounds a little like the TV series DEXTER but without the twist of Dexter's "day job." i personally really enjoyed Costner in another small film in which he played a dark character with mixed motivations very bravely: Clint Eastwood's little-known A PERFECT WORLD from 1993.

Posted: 8/17/07 at 9:41pmI didn't like the movie at all... I thought it was really predictable and ridiculous, although the acting was decent.

Posted: 8/17/07 at 10:21pmI did not think it was that great. He was not menacing enough. I thought Stardust and Hairspray, althought different genres, were much better.
