What the Critics say | ||
Die Burger Mariana Malan Dit is 'n slim riller, maar die wendings is nie dramaties end die afloop nie bevredigend nie. | 10 | |
Cape Times Kevin Crust Costner effective in an otherwise spotty movie. | 5 | |
Mail & Guardian Shaun de Waal | 6 | |
The Citizen Sabrina Dean The end result is a rather engaging film with some interesting twists and very worthwhile content. | 12 | |
Sunday Times Barry Ronge It's a classic police thriller, more concerned with plot than with car chases and blood. | 15 | |
24.com Evert Lombaert Verdict? Definitely worth a watch. | 10 | |
Box Office Shlomo Schwartzberg There’s really nothing worthwhile about Mr. Brooks, which, to add insult to injury, drags on for a whole two painful hours. This is bottom-of-the-barrel filmmaking that never should have gone beyond the planning stages. | 1 | |
eye Weekly Adam Nayman Aside from the question of the star rating we gave it, Mr. Brooks is very much worth seeing – albeit as the most conspicuously ridiculous mainstream American movie since Dreamcatcher. | 1 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli Mr. Brooks is a curious mix of the campy and the intelligent, of high concept and low psychology. In spite of these contradictions, or perhaps because of them, it works. | 15 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers When this mind-bender of a thriller sticks to the war going on between Earl and his conscience, Mr. Brooks spins a web that will wrap you up in nightmares. | 15 | |
ScreenIt The film might look good and feature a decent name cast, but it just isn't that thrilling. | 8 | |
