The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Very, very entertaining.A primer on how to commit a murder and get away with it...with meticulous planning and execution.Mr Brooks uses the vacuum cleaner in the house where he commits the murder. And a plastic bag to collect the gunpowder. He also removes the bullets from his victims.Also a primer on how to blackmail should you witness and have evidence of a murder.Killing with an axe, guns, a shovel, a pair of sciccors; its all here. All in good spirit, all in "fun."Kevin Costner's acting is the very best he's done; he is so convincing that I now suspect a few suave and debonair people I know from my personal life to be serial killers.I even like Demi Moore as the cop with the great hunches and the world's fastest reflexes, but always a few steps behind Mr. Brooks' murders. Worth $60 million with a father who thought she should have been born a son. You'd figure she can afford a sex change operation. Is that why she only wears pants, never a skirt to show off her legs?Then there is Mr. Brooks' daughter. He loves her enough to kill for her, she loves him enough to kill him. Now, there is a REAL dynamic duo.
----------------------------------------
There are plot problems, of course. Mr. Smith is charged with the serial killer murders because he urinates on the floor, leaving his DNA. After all his meticulous cleanup, why would the killer now leave urine at the crime scene??Mr Smith gets caught with his gun whose firing pin has been disabled by Mr. Brooks. Would you not figure Mr. Smith might have checked his gun prior to leaving his apartment, recognizing who he is dealing with? (Mr. Brooks had surreptitiously entered Mr. Smith's apartment on a previous occasion to get an imprint of the safety deposit box where Mr. Smith is thought to have kept the original photos and digital camera card of a double murder).
Alan Smithee Esq.
Strong candidate for one of the best serial killer movies ever made. A strong mystery throughout and features some rather interesting sub-plots to boot. Don't let Dane Cook deter you from watching. It's also an interesting take on addiction and what lengths an addict will go to and the destruction created by these behaviors.

Spoiler Alert* The best part of this movie is watching Dane Cooke being beaten to death with a shovel. I spent the entire movie hoping his character would be killed. It is actually a little personal with Dane. I went to one of his shows years ago and have wanted to off him in the same manner ever since.Seriously, the Kevin Costner / William Hurt alter ego thing is interesting and keeps you interested in the movie. It carries some week writing and dull parts of the movie through. The twist with the daughter in the middle is good too. Overall the movie is decent but I think they could have used a lesser know actor to replace Costner and it would have been more interesting. Although, Costner didn't completely ruin this movie as usual. Maybe I am just soft on his character because I enjoyed watching him pawn Dane Cooke with the shovel.I could have gone without Demi Moore too. She added nothing and they could have replaced her with an unknown and it would have been more believable. There was enough to keep you interested in the movie without her. It looked as though someone in casting owed her a favor.It is a 6-7ish movie and William Hurt definitely makes it better.

To be honest I decided to watch movie because I had nothing to do. But as movie start picking up the story it gets exciting. This is all together whole new concept of serial killer. Mr.Kevin has done excellent job so is director. The best part of the movie was less blood shed , as we know most of the serial killer movies gets dirty all the time. Demi Moore has done excellent job and the way police investigate is very realistic. Although she was not sure about serial killer but her basic instincts about finding out the photographer was brilliantly shown. All together this is good movie with dark humor , nicely scripted story and excellent acting by Kevin and other crew. I would love to see some more movies like this in future.
