Mr. Brooks is a suspense thriller about a "man of the year" who is a serial killer played by Kevin Costner. He is addicted to killing. He has an alter ego played by William Hurt. We get to see into the mind of a serial killer - why and how he does things.
There are four subplots.
1. and 2. Involves a cop played by Demi Moore and her divorce, and another involves an escaped convict she is trying to apprehend. She is also trying to figure out who the thumb print killer is.
3. Brooks' daughter, who is involved in a murder at her college - I won't go into any spoilers.
4. A young guy joins Brooks in a killing, just for the rush - why you will have to find out.
The movie is very devious, and there are some plot twists...but overall this is a very suspenseful, well acted, and entertaining film. They definitely left it open for a sequel. I have found that critics review really don't reflect the true movie and normally if they score a movie bad; it ends up being a great movie.
So with that said, I give this movie an A+. A really must see movie if you love thrillers.
