better than what you people say, Déc 30 2003
Par Un client
ok now people are always telling me that the fan is poop. pish posh it is a pretty good movie. the concept of the movie is good.. really good.. and de niro pulls it off.. really good. i mean of course snipes performance is nothing to get orgasmic about, but look past that, look at the story. and then think, could there really be people out there that have no life and are like him. i mean it's just such a neat story, and i think people look past that. in my opinion it is a pretty good movie that should be givin a chance. like some people say they like jeepers creepers... now that is a piece of poo poo... but this movie is a lot better than what people say. give it a chance and just look at the story.. and i bet u might like it

Great role for De Niro, Mars 11 2003
I haven't heard too much about The Fan. I don't think that it hit it as big with the box office as it should have. Director Tony Scott (True Romance, Spy Game) did an excellent job of getting the viewer to identify with De Niro's character at the beginning. But as the film progressed, there are one-by-one actions that build up for you to finally realize that he is nuts! Robert De Niro delivered a very real and believable performance as always. Wesley Snipes also did a good job as a cocky first rate baseball player in a slump, and under complete stress. This is not something for the kids, though. Its R rating reflects pervasive strong language and some intense violence. It's a good suspense movie though with great character development.

Fear Strikes Out?, Déc 1 2002
Par Un client
This movie is greatly played, and they picked the exact actors for this. Gil (Robert DeNiro) is an obsessed Giants fan, and is having trouble with the knife business. His favorite player, Bobby Rayburn (Wesley Snipes) goes into a terrible slump, and Gil, the crazed fan, feels it's up to him to get him out of it. DeNiro plays a great lunatic, and Snipes is just the athletic kind. While it's slightly predictable, it still keeps you on the edge of your seat, and begging for more! Great movie

Underrated Deniro thriller, Nov. 12 2002
Par Un client
Deniro proves once again that he can play a deranged lunatic as well as anything else. Too bad this didn't do too well upon its release back in 1996. I think most moviegoers at the time weren't into this kind of theme. They had seen it before in "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas and found it unsettling.
But if you happen to be a fan of both Deniro and baseball, then this is for you!

Creeeeepy, Jui 22 2002
This movie was completely disturbing. I generally don't go for this genre of movie, but I like the actors so I watched it anyway. I squirmed in my seat the whole time. Robert DeNiro was excellent as The Average Joe who loses touch with reality as he pummels into the pit of obsession. At first I just felt sorry for the guy, but by then end I nearly jumped out of my skin when the phone rang. This is definitely not your typical good-guy bad-guy movie, these characters are all too real. This is a great movie if you want to have nightmares, or be leery of pretty much everybody.

This movie is Tight!, Juil 10 2001
Brilliant Acting. Brilliant Acting. Brilliant Acting. Robert De Niro has skills and plays the role of a crazy man EXTREMELY well. Snipes performance can be mentioned but pales in comparison to De Niro's performance. he made me consider why he was crazy. Excellent character development of Snipes and De Niro. You even get to know the agent pretty well and see what kind of person they are. De Niro's character, after the frequent problems with his family and job, and also with Raybury( snipes), finally snaps kills a player and kidnaps Raybury's child. The suspense for this movie is great. I suggest that you see this movie to see how great a performance De Niro has. A truly talented actor. This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat. A must see thriller!

A Style over Substance Thriller that Does its Job Well., Avril 10 2001
"The Fan" is a Very Underrated Thriller that, although it's Body count in Minuscule compared to Most of it's Peers, Never Lags or Bored me. It is Far too Visually Stunning to get boring, there is Never Nothing going on; thanks to it's Director, Tony Scott. He (with a lot of help from Han Zimmer's Arresting score and many, many remixes of great "Nine Inch Nails" songs) has proven that you can take an Average script, stock it with A Grade actors, and make a Truly Memorable Film, that Entertains, as well as Affects the audience.Robert De Niro Has played this kind of role before, and done it Better, but he still shines here as an Obsessed fan who will stop at Nothing to be in his Heroes Life. Wesley Snipes has Also played this role before, but unlike De Niro, he gives one of his Best performances as the Hero who has to battle through a Slump in his career, Team-mates that Can't Stand him, Crowds and Commentators Turning on him and an Obsessed Fan, to boot. They are both Well Baked up by an Exceptional Supporting cast. Benicio Del Toro looked the part and talks the talk. (it's just a shame I could barely understand him) John Leguizamo is one of my Favourite actors, and here, he's as Good as Ever, and Ellen Barkin is Likeable in an Unlikeable role. It mightn't bring anything New to the screen, but what it Does bring is Visually Amazing, Brilliantly Acted, Professionally Produced and Competently Written.

Beyond "Fan" Into Obsession, Avril 3 2001
It may be true that everyone during their lifetime has fifteen minutes of fame, even if in most cases it only lasts about a minute and a half. And if that minute and a half comes early in life, how far into adulthood can you carry it with you, and when does a healthy memory become an obsession that finally blurs the line between reality and fantasy? "The Fan," directed by Tony Scott and starring Robert De Niro and Wesley Snipes, is an intense and disturbing motion picture that examines that moment and the effects it can have on the lives of those either directly or indirectly involved. Here, the focus is on one Gil Renard (De Niro), a knife salesman in San Francisco and a die-hard Giants fan who is pumped about the acquisition during the off-season of superstar centerfielder Bobby Rayburn (Snipes), whom he believes will bring a pennant to the team. Once a player himself-- a pitcher-- Renard's life has since been on a downhill slide. Divorced, he has a young, little league aged son, Richie (Andrew J. Ferchland), with whom he has an unsettling relationship, and at work, his sales have been so poor his job is on the line. An angry, disturbed individual, Renard has reached a pivotal point in his life; for inspiration, he continually returns to the philosophies of the catcher from his playing days, Coop (Charles Hallahan), whom he considers one of the finest athletes he ever knew. And as his life continues to deteriorate, his obsessions begin to add further to the imbalance of his perceptions of reality, which finally lead him past a point of no return. Scott's film, of course, has less to do with baseball than it does with how the game itself actually relates to life and the things that really matter. As Rayburn says at one point, "We're not curing cancer here." But to those to whom life has been reduced to that minute and a half to which they still cling, the game can be everything. And it is just that unhealthy obsession that Scott examines in this film, that comparatively insignificant moment that in the obsessive mind becomes an episode of monumental importance that finally distorts any semblance of reality the individual may have left. What's truly frightening is that upon close scrutiny, in Renard there is much with which many viewers will be able to relate in one way or another: The anger, the frustration and perhaps the inability to let go of that minute and a half, even when it threatens to become more than just a pleasant memory, but an unhealthy lifeline to another place and another time that, in reality, may never have existed in the first place. It's like a search for self-esteem by the has-been-who-never-was, who can neither realize nor accept it's elusiveness. As Renard says to Richie, "Baseball is better than life, because it's fair. You hit a sacrifice fly and it doesn't count against your average." An ideal that has forever eluded Renard; in his life, he's never been able to "give himself up for the team" and get anything in return for it. As Renard, De Niro gives an explosive performance that at first glance may seem to have a bit of Travis Bickle and Max Cady in it-- which in fact it does-- though upon closer inspection, Renard is a unique character. Those with a disturbed mind may have traits in common, as these characters De Niro has portrayed certainly do; but De Niro has successfully given each of them an individual personality, and when viewed side by side, the differences are readily apparent. Bickle may be a sociopath, Cady a cold blooded killer; but Renard is a man who was just never able to get a handle on his life and has allowed his obsessions to dictate the choices he has made along the way. De Niro is simply a master of his craft, with the ability to make his characters so real that a performance like this one is often overlooked; this is Oscar worthy work for which he never received the acclaim he was due. His Renard is so like someone you would run into in your everyday life that in retrospect, it's scary. But it's the kind of performance we've come to expect from De Niro, and as usual, he does not disappoint. Wesley Snipes, as well, gives a solid performance as Rayburn that is one of his best ever, which is not surprising when you consider with whom he was working. If you study De Niro's films, you may discover a common thread running through them with regard to his co-stars. De Niro has the ability to make those with whom he is working better; and it's something that stays with them forever after. Consider Christopher Walken and Meryl Streep before "The Deer Hunter," or Ed Harris before "Jacknife." Certainly they were exceptional talents before, but they have arguably been better since. And Snipes is no exception. Nor is Benicio Del Toro (Recipient of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "Traffic"), who gives a memorable turn here as Rayburn's rival outfielder, Juan Primo. The supporting cast includes Patti D'Arbanville (Ellen),Ellen Barkin (Jewel), John Leguizamo (Manny), Chris Mulkey (Tim), Dan Butler (Garrity) and Brandon Hammond (Sean). A thought provoking thriller that gives some real insight into the cause and effect of the psyche of human nature, "The Fan" is like an open wound that may hit too close to home for some. And to dismiss this as just a "baseball" movie or another "action" flick would be a mistake, for there is much more here than meets the eye. In the end, those who pay attention will ultimately reap the rewards it proffers.

Am I a Fan of The Fan?, Fév 21 2001
I asked myself this question the other day while watching Tony Scott's The Fan for the umpteenth time. Do I enjoy this movie? Being an avid Baseball FAN myself, I found DeNiro's Character, Gil, to be a bit unbelievable, don't get me wrong, that doesn't take away from his acting ability in this film. Coming from Boston, baseball fans around here are more devoted than psychotic and I cannot imagine the murdering of a player on the same team. It's not logical! But it's Hollywood's version of a Baseball Fan, too bad they couldn't use a more realistic portrayal, then again, it wouldn't be as good a movie. DeNiro steps up to the plate with a great performance as a psycho, whereas Snipes and Del Toro portray the all-to-real personas of Baseball's best players.
