         Mr. Brooks', 2007's first true psychological thriller, features an all star cast with Kevin Costner, Demi Moore, Dane Cook, and William Hurt. With a thriller like this, and 2 actors (Cook and Costner) who are playing extremely different roles, the film could have failed. It doesn't at all. It is an extremely clever and intelligent film that is a great ride from start to finish.
         Slickly shot, coolly edited, oozing dark, deadpan humor, Mr. Brooks finds Costner at the top of his game. He has been voted Man of the Year because he's a successful business man. He has a hobby that no one knows about: He's a serial killer. But he's never alone when he kills. William Hurt plays Marshall, his "other self".
         The plot has its twists and turns, which reminds the viewer that Mr. Brooks always has a plan...
