I loved Mr. Brooks. The ending was great and unexpected. I really do hope they make a sequel, but don't screw it up. I also hope the movie can find a larger audience on DVD. I know I will be buying it on the 23rd.

If I remember correctly, in an interview with Costner around the time the film was released, he mentioned something about it being a trilogy with them moving ahead on 2 if the movie did well enough.

I agree, this was surprisingly better than I expected and I'd be up for a sequel, especially if Costner comes back.

I totally loved this movie, great story, great acting. It was a great surprise of the summer and it kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat during the whole movie.

I just hope that they do not screw it up with a bad sequel like some many times…

I really like Mr. Brooks, but think they should end it as is.

I simply loved the movie. Its definitely worth a sequel. Besides, it somehow doesn't seem complete without a sequel.. :p

The way his 2 halves conversed, the gruel hunger for killing, with the fear of ruining a good life & not to mention his daughter, combined with the level of sophistication in his planning, the movie was definitely good.

I think that as Mr. Brooks protected his daughter who has also "the killer addiction" like him, may be the daughter should find out about her father double life and protect him or play cat and mouse with him in the sequel… or paly with Demi Moore character… she would never know who is the killer between the daughter or the father, keeps her guessing…

This movie was one of the best I`ve seen. It was so gripping & original. Hurt & Costner were superb.
It is rare that the audience can feel empathy for the psychopath; but we were rooting for him till the end. I liked the religious chants that were used to help him deal with his sickness. Why is this different from other serial killer movies? The killer had a conscience. He was tormented by his addiction. The scene where his alter ego hugs him for solace was brilliant. This helps us empathize with the character. I loved how they used the alter ego brought to life. Excellent choice of William Hurt as the alter ego. I feel that society`s preoccupation with materialism & money makes us ignore quality actors like William Hurt. His talents are underused in Hollywood. Furthermore, it was evident that this movie was well thought out. Note how the gene patterns were well researched. It is very common that the daughter inherits many of father`s traits. Also note that they stopped after 1 child–he does not want his genes propagated. Finally, note how his daughter committed the murder when she was pregnant. We all know hormone alterations can stimulate abnormal urges. This demonstrates that the movie was NOT your random, thoughtless violent movie. There were so many subtleties. Every gest had a meaning & purpose. Note how the laughs(Costner & Hurt) synchronized at the end, depicting the synchrony with the alter ego. Brilliant!!! It was disappointing that the critics massacred this quality film. I guess they don`t have enough depth to appreciate quality. What are their criteria to determine the quality of a film? It had everthing–originality, superb acting, suspense, content, emotion & psychology. A sequel has to be made b/c we are kept in the air hanging. What will happen next.

I absolutely loved this movie, when I rented it I was a bit unsure if i would like it, but in the first 10 minutes of the film I found myself sitting closer and closer to the t.v. to make sure i would not miss a thing. My only regret is that I didn't go to see it in the theater. I know for sure that i will own this movie and will be waiting to see the follow up film which better be soon. Any critic who gives a film like this a bad review truly doesnt appreciate good acting and writing.

I had hesitated on seeing this movie after hearing how dark and violent it was. I finally watched it this weekend and thought it was Excellent. The movie was perfectly cast - Costner and Demi Moore were both terrific in their roles. I won't give it away, but the ending was so unbelievably twisted and perfect. I try not to watch scary movies, but this one was worth the trip into darkness. I do hope they continue this.. the layers are fascinating.
