VHS Movie Reviews of The Fan [VHS]
Movie Review: Am I a Fan of The Fan?
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Movie Review: Early batch of DVD but still one of the best
Summary: 5 Stars
The DVD was released in 1997 (the year DVD format was launched) but the technical quality of the DVD is up there with the best of the best. The picture transfer is excellent and Dolby 5.1 is outstanding. There is no extra on this DVD but given that this movie was a flop during its theatrical run, a special edition is not very likely. Robert De Niro is super here. If you think he is creepy in Cape Fear, wait to see his performance here. A must for DVD collector.Movie Review: Yo Quiero The Fan!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're one of those people who are into sports and sports-based movies, like myself, then "The Fan" is for you. Here you will see the marvelous talents of Robert DeNiro and Wesley Snipes as a disgruntled knife salesman and major league baseball player. John Leguizamo plays Snipes' million-dollar agent, and handles his role well, for a serious actor. I was rather surprised to learn the chihuahua with a bit part in this film is none other than Gidget, the "Yo Quiero Taco Bell Dog!" You'll enjoy this film's suspensful ending, as well as the storyline. I saw "The Fan" at the theater, so thought I would add this VHS title to my video library. You should too.Movie Review: Excelent Acting, Music, And Camera Work
Summary: 5 Stars
I personally find this film EXTREMELY entertaining and suspenseful. Robert De Niro did an excelent job playing Gil Renard, an unemployed knifes salesman who's life takes a turn for the worse when his wife gets a restraining order against him (he cannot see his son anymore because of it), he loses his job in the business that his father started. But Bobby Rayburn (Snipes) has come the San Fransico Giants (for $40 mil because of his .310 life time batting avrg) and now Gil has something to look forward to, the world series. But when Rayburn gets stuck in a slump, Gil takes matters into his own hands to get hitting again and will stop at absolutly NOTHING. The film keeps you on the edge of your seat not knowing what is coming next. It keeps you entertained with Hans Zimmer's heart pounding, tear renching score and some of the best acting (From De Niro and Snipes and the ENTIRE cast) that you'll ever see.Clay G.
