Mr. Brooks Alongside Frailty, this is easily one of the best and stunningly original horror films of the last 10 years, even if it takes the twist of Fight Club and makes it into the main premise of the film. As the title character, Costner brilliantly underplays his sociopath serial killer to perfection, showing how […]
