Consider Mr. Brooks: A successful businessman, generous philanthropist, loving husband and father, a true pillar of the community. Everyone says, he's perfect.
Nonetheless, Mr. Brooks harbors a sinister secret - he's an insatiable serial killer, so lethally clever that no one has ever suspected him - until now.

Earl Brooks (Kevin Costner) has it all: a loving wife and devoted daughter,
community standing, and his own thriving business. Mr. Brooks, however, lives another life, unknown to anyone else. He is also the notorious serial murderer branded as The Thumbprint Killer. Though recently inactive, his pathological
compulsion is inflamed once again by his cunning, wicked alter ego (William Hurt), whom Mr. Brooks faults for his transgressions. But succumbing to one more malevolent urge to murder an unsuspecting couple, Mr. Brooks commits his first mistake - he is observed by a peeping Tom photographer, who chooses to blackmail
him with a bizarre demand. This last crime, though, also unleashes a tenacious detective (Demi Moore) whose own personal crisis drives her furiously to solve the identity of the Thumbprint Killer, putting her on Mr. Brooks' trail. Now, for the first time, Mr. Brooks faces the endgame - unless he can continue to conceal his shocking secret life, and his true identity forever. [Pressetext]
