I have not seen this movie before and I find it interesting as to how different the two personalities of Mr. Brooks are. Not only did he kill, but he also planned and stalked the person he was going to kill. Watching this movie can make people more aware of how dangerous, serious, and terrifying disorders like split-personality are. It is great that there are movies to make people more aware of the disorders.
