Product Description:
Three-times MVP baseball player Bobby Rayburn joins San Fransisco Giants, and obsessive fan, whose profession is selling hunting knives, Gil Renard is excited over that. But Rayburn plays the worst season of his career and Renard tries to do everything to help him, but goes too far.
Amazon.com:
Lurid thrillers don't get much more shameless than this movie, in which Robert De Niro plays a pathological baseball fan whose obsession is focused on a San Francisco Giants all-star outfielder (Wesley Snipes). While the newly signed baseball star is having trouble getting his favorite uniform number from a competitive teammate (Benicio Del Toro), De Niro is having career troubles at the knife company his father founded, and you can bet that his proximity to high-quality stainless-steel blades will be a factor in the suspenseful plot. Recycling parts of his maniacal roles in Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, and Cape Fear, De Niro takes his idolatry to violent extremes, eliminating any obstacle to Snipes's stardom until the baseball hero is forced to confront his most terrifying devotee. Directed with brutal excess and souped-up style by Tony Scott (Top Gun, Crimson Tide), this manipulative nail-biter pulls all the right strings in predictable fashion, but it does have moments that are effectively intense. --Jeff Shannon

It might say something about me that I'm not bothered too much by heavy screen violence, but what does bother me is the naked exposure of a tortured and twisted human being (films such as "Psycho", "Don't Go in the House", "Maniac", etc. -- which oftentimes DO feature heavy violence as well, but it's the psychological/personal display that disturbs me, not the violence).
One such individual is Gil Renaul, the crazed-fan/psycho-stalker that Robert DeNiro excellently portrays in "The Fan". ... Read More

Gil Renard (Robert De Niro) isn't a lucky man. His separation from his wife is hostile, his business of selling knives is not going well, and he doesn't feel listened to. His only release is sports, watching and cheering for his favorite player, Bobby Rayburn (Wesley Snipes).
Bobby Rayburn, a 40 million dollar player, has troubles of his own as he falls into a slump, knowing his career is winding down as fellow player Juan Primo's (Benico Del Toro) star is rising. Primo now wears the "sacred" ... Read More

The actor from flatbush that gets billing over the actor Anthony Quinn.
Benicio Del Toro should have gotten a better credit instead of this deranged fan of this film with deniro.
Guadalcanal Diary is a excellent film giving tribute to our latin american fighting soldiers who have served our country! God bless you all

I think that this Movie The Fan show why Robert De Niro is probably one of our better actors today.
Rating: -
Robert De Niro stars as a man whose life is taking a turn for the bad, but it does not deter him from his one true love, which is the game of baseball. This film has several elements to it that connect to bring a tantalizing thriller of a script to the forefront. The game of Baseball, its adoring and loyal fans and the psychotic fever of a fan who goes over the edge all come together well. Some people might think this film is about De Niro's character obsessing over a particular player, but there is more to ... Read More
