Oh, I love the way you think, William Hurt’s Marshall says at one point in this film. And I think it’s wonderfully twisted.

And that’s all I can say about Mr. Brooks really – wonderfully twisted. Kevin Costner is Mr. Brooks, and his interactions with the suave, gum-chewing, sometimes tender, sometimes bullying Marshall are the strongest scenes in this film. William Hurt is perfect, as always. (Have you seen A History of Violence? You should.) Dane Cook pulls it off as Mr. Smith, who discovers Mr. Brooks’s “addiction”. Demi Moore also stars here as a police detective in the midst of a divorce, but I’ve never been fond of Demi Moore.

But, seriously: the Kevin Costner – William Hurt tandem? Genius. Somebody cast these two in a dramatic film, and quick. Oscar wins, for sure.

The song played during the final scenes was also terrific:

(Mr. Brooks was released in June 2007, but it wasn’t shown here, so I just streamed it here.)

(For non-Filipino speakers: Me ganon, a contraction of May ganoon, is used to express amusement or disbelief, or amused disbelief. Transliterally it means There is such a thing. It doesn’t make much sense.)
