VHS Movie Reviews of The Fan [VHS]
Movie Review: FAIR AND A HALF
Summary: 2 Stars
If The Fan were a b-film with unknown actors, it would be fun. Those formula horror pics are always great to watch when you need to mindlessly pass time.
But the Fan is not one, so why is it made as such? You have top name actors, and a big location San Fransisco shoot. But when a demented baseball fan, abuseive and estranged from his family, becomes obsessed with a SF Giants star and kidnaps his son, so what?
'
Everything here is freeze dried. If you watch DeNiro in The King of Comedy, the stalking angle is the same, but there is so much unique, it is extremely compelling. This fan is juat a batch of loser cleches- nothing is done to make this charactor more than a garden variety sociopath.
There is even a police chase at the end. Woo, and hoo.
Summary of The Fan [VHS]
Toro OEM Parts: 709659 Description: FanLurid 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
