Anyone who has seen a Snipes or Deniro movie expects skilled acting, a plethora of action and a clever plot.

The Fan has none of these requirements and the movie for some reason was released. I expected a clever, involving movie from the collaboration of these two actors, alas the movie hasn't an iota of enjoyment.
The Fan is a thriller that pretends to expose the nature of celebrity stalkers. Both of these actors were miscast in the movie. The movie is overly disturbing and utterly pointless without a logical message for viewers.… Expand

This isn't a great movie by any stretch but it kept me interested and the story was well paced. Also you get another very solid performance from Robert De Niro and Wesley Snipes does a solid job.

Also you get another very solid performance from Robert De Niro and Wesley Snipes does a solid job. The movie also gives a cool perspective on how some fans take things far to serious and the stress players feel under the bright spotlight of professional sports. Overall not a must see but not a bad watch if you catch it on TV.… Expand

Simply put this film is over dramatised and lacking any effective voice. Its violence is weak and chereographed and there is nothing but a slight glow of the city to warm to.

Its violence is weak and chereographed and there is nothing but a slight glow of the city to warm to. In a way you shouldn't expect much from Hollywood productions but this film is lost in its own mise-en-scene and there is no one better at exposing this than Robert De Niro. 45/100… Expand

Le scénario tient à peu près la route mais se désunit au fur et à mesure cependant, trop de raccourcis et d’incohérences pour faire monter la tension qui devient alors artificielle. S’il fait penser à ‘Chute Libre’ par certains aspects, Le Fan doit malheureusement composer avec ses (presque) deux heures et la mollesse qui en découle…

Cela étant, pour du « Tony Scott' » la mise en scène reste assez sobre et la performance de Bob sauve (presque) le film malgré ses 20 mn de trop au bas mot.… Expand
