Mr. Brooks Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
David Ansen
The good news: there are many twists, turns, subplots and surprises that the coming attractions don't even hint at. The bad news: these twists and turns are so preposterous, or so irrelevant, that they undermine the movie they're meant to tart up.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Mr. Brooks spins a web that will wrap you up in nightmares.
The New Yorker
David Denby
The movie is so well made, and so compelling as a portrait of a man at war with himself, that, right up until the end, many people will probably be entertained by its intricately preposterous story.
UGO
Brian Tallerico
Mr. Brooks had the potential to be a ridiculous thrill ride, but that requires a director who knows how to shoot a scene with more style than a Law & Order episode.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Certainly more genuinely creepy than many recent thrillers, and the supporting cast is effective.
Observer
Rex Reed
Please don't tell me it was supposed to be played for laughs all along, because I don't buy it. Too late to save it from doom, the twists and snafus in Mr. Brooks start coming too fast for the audience to absorb, and the movie turns delusional.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
In Mr. Brooks, Bruce A. Evans' fitfully subversive approach to the genre, we get a few fresh takes on the psychology of serial killing.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Totally absurd and equally entertaining.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The film emerges as a subtle commentary on a disquieting aspect of our current culture -- a commentary on the nature of a masturbatory voyeurism and how it fosters heartlessness by turning other people into objects.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Far-fetched, flimsy and uninvolving.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
What starts out as a delightful black comedy and social commentary ends up, at best, as a guilty pleasure where I had a hard time sorting out the intentional from the unintentional laughs.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Costner seems to be having some fun playing the respectable guy with an evil secret, but [director] Evans' murky storytelling just weighs him down. Cook has all the charisma of a misshapen mud pie.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Mr. Brooks has more tonal shifts than a Philip Glass concert, never deciding if it's a thriller, a noir, a comedy or a farce.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
A classic guilty pleasure -- a great-looking, weirdly compelling thriller with two pedal-flooring performances from Costner and William Hurt.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A fertile example of the Studio Film Gone Berserk, where too many characters and too many story lines geometrically progress until a level of blissful absurdity is reached.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
But for a movie about a guy who plans everything so meticulously, the script is a mess, with impossible coincidences and one big fake-out that is nothing but a giant bloody speed-bump on the way to the who-cares-at-this-point conclusion.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
If it is not as sadistic as the Saw and Hostel movies, it is as malignant in its insistence on the omnipresence of evil.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
While far from perfect, by and large I found myself mesmerized.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
The film probably tilts the balance too far in favor of Mr. Brooks at the expense of the uninspired Det. Atwood.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
[Costner] gives one of the best performances of his career.
