Where to begin, Mai 5 2004
I truthfully for some reason liked this movie when it came out years ago. I recently rented it again and thought, what was I thinking? The story is incredibly unbelievable (no way the murder of Primo would have gone without being solved for more than a few hours) and the script is just poorly written. I found myself getting confused with what was going on do to random jumps from one thing to another. There were many things that could have been left out or shown more of to make the story flow better. The acting was pretty good (though not the best work from anyone) for what was written. Now, when I first saw this movie I liked the soundtrack to it. Watching it again, I realize that the Nine Inch Nails song Closer, which I am a fan of all versions, was used so often it was ridiculous. It seemed like they were trying to go for Darth Vader like theme from Star Wars but failed miserably.All around, it wasn't horrible but its not in my top hundred. DeNiro has played this character way too many times and because of that it was slightly boring. Give it a try if you've seen everything else more than once. I wouldn't pay for it though if I were you.

The Fan ...Fans Out!, Avril 7 2004
Par Un client
Robert DiNiro completes a quintent of bad guy/psycho roles for the 1990's (AWAKENINGS, THIS BOY'S LIFE, CAPE FEAR,JACKIE BROWN) with THE FAN. With a resurgence of Baseball movies beginning in the late 1980's, this has got to be one of the worst of the bunch and the worst of the five DiNiro pictures. The pairing of DiNiro (who literally phones in his performance here)and Wesley Snipes (Is actually convincing as a baseball player. Remmeber his Willie Mays Hays in MAJOR LEAGUE?)in what could have been an interesting thriller turns into another predictable slasher-type film. DiNiro (Gil Renard) becomes an obsessed fan to Wesley Snipes superstar Baseball Player(Bobby Rayburn). There is some social commentary about modern sports and the responsibility of overpaid athletes but all commentary is drowned out by a weak script and weak direction. Also, there is a scene that most baseball purists have been complaining about in this film. This is the sequence where the umpires let a baseball game keep going and it is pouring rain. Director Tony Scott in his own directorial style shows the sequence in slow-motion with players slipping and sliding, with water and mud flying all over the place, all for dramatic purposes and creative license. Overall, a weak sports film, a weak thriller, and wasted talent makes THE FAN a very forgettable film.

Promising, But Ultimately Disappointing, Fév 16 2004
Despite some style, rythm and a couple of intriguing ideas, this Tony Scott`s movie soon falls into most of the cliches that trap a typical Hollywood blockbuster.
Wesley Snipes plays a baseball star that ends up being the object of devotion and obsession of a lonely, convulted man (Robert DeNiro). The picture builds a growing tension, yet the second part lives on the strenght of chases, kidnappings and tiresome predictability. Nine Inch Nails are a fine addition to the soundtrack, helping the development of the paranoid plot, but the movie is still too flawed and unsurprising to truly engage.
Not too good not too bad. Watchable.

another psychopath, Juil 15 2003
I don't like Wesley Snipes, it is one of that many american actors that couldn't transmit emotions, in every movie you think he performs the same character. Trying to be cool is not acting!
The other protagonist played by Robert de Niro is very similar to Travis Bickle (Taxi Driver). It's very sad to see that Mr de Niro, one of the best actors ever, accepted all scripts he became in the last years, without considering the quality of the movie.
Tony Scott made some of the most interesting films of the last two decades and like his brother I think he can still surprise us in the future.
The soundtrack inlcudes Nine Inch Nails, one of the most influential rock band of the nineties!
"The Fan" is not a bad movie (at least it's not boring), but perhaps prescindible and personally I expected much more, considering the cast and the direction.

A Disappointment, Janv. 15 2002
Par Un client
I thought a film directed by Tony Scott ans starring Robert de Niro would be worth watching. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
Do not waste your time or your money on this one.

Batters Up!!!, Juil 12 2001
This ain't such a bad movie, eventhough I gave it two stars. The reason why I gave it two stars was because, at times, it got boring. But I like how Robert De Niro acted. He was a mentally ill man, that went around and gave people a taste of his baseball bat, and also stalked his favourite baseball player, Wesley Snipes.This movie should be watched by many. I thought that De Niro was just hilarious. Especially when he threatened his son's stepdad with a baseball bat. I thought this movie was pretty much an okay thriller.

I don't know what Bobby de Niro was thinking about while making this movie...it's flat, flat, flat...if you think you're his biggest FAN then try to forget this movie!

THE WORST EDITING I HAVE EVER WITNESSED, Aoû 29 1999
Par Un client
I love Robert Deniro and thought he did a great job in this movie but anyone who knows anything about baseball knows this movie is a joke. Whoever edited this movie needs to give anyone who ever saw their money back. For example, there are overhead shots of a football game and the next image is a baseball game. There are overhead shots of Dodger Stadium and then next shot is of a game supposedly going on in SF. In one scene the announcer says the name of the player throwing the ball except the name he says is entirely different from the one stiched on the player's back. This could have been a great film if any effort was put into it.
