Movie Reviews

Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) - 9/10 by Jeffrey WesthoffJust when it seemed the serial-killer film had been done to death, Mr. Brooks brings something fresh to the genre.
TheFilmFile.com - 9/10 by Dustin PutmanA fascinating and thoroughly unsettling exploration into the mind of a serial killer, Mr. Brooks could well be the smartest, most astute thriller of its kind in several years.
The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) - 9/10 by Mark PalermoEarl Brooks is presented as an admirable killer, because he's an upperclass, educated white man.
Palo Alto Weekly - 9/10 by Tyler HanleyWelcome back, Costner. The hit-or-miss actor who earned an Oscar for Dances with Wolves but a Razzie for The Postman shatters expectations with his best performance in more than a decade.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan - 9/10 by Jeanne KaplanCostner is sufficiently creepy, yet incredibly down-to-earth as Mr. Brooks. I must say this is one of my favorite performances of his in a very long time.
E! Online - 9/10 by Caroline KepnesThere is some refreshingly good, old-fashioned storytelling in this movie.
iF Magazine - 9/10 by Abbie BernsteinThe script by Bruce A. Evans, who also directed, and writing partner Raynold Gideon is unusually complex and dense with narrative and character nuances, with such surprises around every corner that we can't wait to see where the next clue is going to lead
OhmyNews.com - 8/10 by Brian OrndorfIt's an odd piece of entertainment, and requires a viewer flexible enough to journey into the belly of the beast and somehow enjoy it. Me? I found it irresistible at times.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 8/10 by Jeff StricklerMr. Brooks is driven more by its characters than its plot. And several of those characters are fascinating.
TheMovieChicks.com - 8/10 by Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneSmart, funny and wicked... a combination I would pay to see. Mr. Brooks may not want to be bad, but with the devilishly cruel Marshall by his side, he's oh so good at it.
