A hardened detective enters into a tenuous symbiotic relationship with the vicious serial killer she is tracking after earning the respect of the murderous madman in this vicious psychological thriller starring Demi Moore, Kevin Costner, and William Hurt. Earl Brooks (Costner) is a successful businessman, noted philanthropist, and loving father. He's the kind of man whom no one would ever suspect of being a notorious serial killer, but then again history's most dubious psychopaths are often the quiet neighbor whom no one would ever suspect was capable of committing such unspeakable atrocities. Until now, no one has had any reason to link Earl Brooks with the heinous crimes of the dreaded Thumbprint Killer. Even his beautiful wife (Marg Helgenbeger) and teenage daughter (Danielle Panabaker) could never conceive of such an awful truth. But when Mr. Brooks's dark side begins to outshine his sane exterior, an amateur photographer (Dane Cook) captures the killer succumbing to his murderous instinct on film. Now, as Mr. Brooks is pursued by tenacious detective Tracy Atwood (Moore) and forced to bend to the will of an opportunistic bystander, the killer who was once able to keep his murderous alter ego (Hurt) in check finds his control steadily slipping. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Hithchcock blushes !!!!! OUTSTANDING. Kevin Costner suffers from the "cute" actor syndrom ... How else can one account for the lack of comparisons between "Dances With Wolves" & "Lawrence of Arabia." To be sure, theres the Postman & Waterworld debacles ... but dream big, buddy. "Bull Durham" is the most underappreciated greatly appreciated movies of all times. Kostner is great in this film. The suspense is crackling. I have always thought that Demi Moore was overappreciated as an actress, & underappreciated as a MILF. She shines, in perhaps her best acting role since "A Few Good Men." William Hurt chews the scenery like now one else can. Even the dispicable Dane Cook turns in a worthwhile performane. Great movie. Makes you wonder if you ever would have even noticed Tim Curry if Costner had teamed with Susan Sarandon in "Rocky Horror Picture Show," in place of the semi-hapless Barry Bostwick.

    Haven't watched Kevin Costner since he made Robin Hood. After watching this movie I've become a fan again. Demi Moore was great in this movie too. This was a great plot and Costner's character reminded just a bit of Dexter from the Showtime series. This will not disappoint.
