Mr. Brooks Movie Synopsis & Plot
Consider MR. BROOKS. A successful businessman, a generous philanthropist, a loving father and devoted husband. Seemingly, he's perfect. But Mr. Brooks has a secret -- he is an insatiable serial killer, so lethally clever that no one has ever suspected him -- until now.

But now, as Mr. Brooks succumbs to one last murderous urge, an amateur photographer (Dane Cook) witnesses the crime. Suddenly Brooks finds himself entangled in the dark agenda of an opportunistic bystander, as well as hunted by the unorthodox and tenacious detective Tracy Atwood(Demi Moore). Can Mr. Brooks outsmart his adversaries and conceal his shocking double life from his wife(Marg Helgenberger)and daughter (Danielle Panabaker) or will someone exposehis crimes and his identity once and for all in this unpredictable and electrifying new thriller.
