Day 19: Mr. Brooks (2007)

History
All I knew about this movie was that Dane Cook was trying to do serious acting. That alone should have been an indicator of this movie's quality.

Random Connections
William Hurt, who was last seen in Michael (Day 13), continues his streak of appearing in shitty movies.

What's it about?
Kevin Costner plays Mr. Brooks, a rich dude with a wife and daughter, who is addicted to murder, and he has an admirer, Dane Cook who wants to accompany him on a murder. Oh yeah Kevin Costner also has an imaginary friend played by William Hurt.

Demi Moore plays a detective on the hunt for the killer, but doesn't know who he is. She's randomly going through a divorce so that her character can have something to talk about, as well as so that her ex-husband will get killed by Kevin Costner. New and exciting.

Thoughts
People were going "ooh" acting all surprised and stuff during moments that were supposed to be funny or shocking. But for me, after watching like 3 seasons of The Shield recently, as well as Dexter (which has similar themes) I was like "Whoah, I didn't know Sesame Street was playing here." Seriously, don't see this movie.

Rating
AWW HELL NAW
