The Fan Reviews
A good movie a true fan, even to the point of an obsession. I loved it. Good casting. This was I think maybe a remake from the 1981 version of the movie of the movie of the same title. A starring role of Michael Biehn, which his character played a stalking fan role, as well.
One of the many best of Robert Fuckin' De Niro watch it a 100x times since the 90s up to now 2024. Still one of my fave movies of all-time. 😎👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It just keeps getting more ridiculous.
No clue how this film has such a low critic and audience score. It's great!
90er Jahre Thriller. Klasse inszeniert. Robert de Niro spielt einfach nur Klasse. Einen halben Punkt Abzug gibt es für die Musik. 😉
An underrated Tony Scott film with De Niro and Snipes doing a superb job and having a nice story with a mixture of sport and thriller combine together.
Possibly THE greatest movie of all time, unless you're a bitter brother-in-law.
Good movie worth a watch
Although directed by Tony Scott and starting Robert De Niro, the film's cliches never bring the film above an average movie.
2 bags ‘cause you got De Niro and Snipes. I actually thought Snipes was real good in this movie. I'd make some joke about how Snipes actually has dramatic skills he could use in "interview with Blade," but I'm burned out on watching all these movies. Like Snipes in "the Fan" I realized that there's just more to life than all this. Snipes stopped caring about baseball, and I'm caring less about movies. I wanna set the Guinness record for watching a bunch of movies but I just have watched so many bad movies that I've stared too far into the abyss, and the abyss has stared back.
Although a bit too over the top, The Fan is intense when it needs to be and the characters chemistry plays off each other pretty well. The score to this movie is extremely ill fitting, trying to force a Nine Inch Nails track at any chance it can and can completely derail a scene at times.
Love this film and De Niro's acting is fantastic! Almost Scorsese-esque with the Rolling Stones in the soundtrack too! Very watchable and gripping at times
I think it was good.Wesley played his role well n De Niro was good.this critics talkn about the over played rock music don't seem to understand how it was trying to relate to the craziness,chaos going on in the mind of a crazy obsessed fan's mind,pictured in crazy rock music.
There is no better excuse for this movie than Tony Scott wanting to play Scorsese in a disposable, cliché and uninvolved thriller by recycling much more inspired DeNiro's earlier moments. A narrative mess that doesn't decide whether to turn into a serious drama or an unsettling thriller wasting a talented cast that gets increasingly lost with so many inconsistencies.
Lately Robert Deniro has been only acting to collect paychecks(Hey- nothing wrong with it you know) but does considering pay roles mean he doesn't even look at the script? The Fan is another one of those De-Niro duds that should have been made with lesser actors. Given De Niro's track record, it was reasonable to expect good things from him in The Fan, director Tony Scott's followup to last year's blockbuster, Crimson Tide. In fact, with De Niro playing a sociopathic baseball nut, one might be forgiven mistakenly believing that this movie had potential. Unfortunately, whatever promise the idea held was lost early in the film making process. The version of The Fan to reach movie screens is as unwatchable a thriller as has come to theaters this year. De-Niro hams it up like he's never done before and the screenplay by Phoef Sutton is abysmal. The Fan is disjointed, poorly paced, and, at times, completely incoherent. While Sutton has to bear some of the blame, the lion's share goes to Tony Scott, who has badly mishandled every aspect of this film. The director appears to have backslided into his unpromising Beverly Hills Cop II phase.
One of the best cheeseball baseball thrillers of all time... And an all-star cast, despite Wesley Snipes...
It is a very underrated movie. It really has a touching story and a great performance by De Niro. A really worthy movie.
