"Mr. Brooks." A marvelous mess as film, commentary on our culture,

philosophical rumination.
Cosner is excellent and so is Hurt though don't expect the film to match their efforts.
Cosner plays a "normal" businessman who just happens to get extreme pleasure from murdering. For a clearer, deeper, more satisfying portrayal of a serial lunatic seek out the Dutch "The Vanishing." However, since "V" is at the top of the heap by far, it isn't fair to even bring it up.
"Brooks" is a good popcorn film, a not unpleasant way to spend a few hours.
I don't know why they made a point of identifying the town as Portland. Didn't look like it at all and not ONE noticeable location.
Has Portland become so hip the producers' thought to get a bounce merely from its mention?
