Quite good, but SNIPES and DeNIRO can do better!

Rating: Null/10 (14 February 1999)

When I saw the filmposter of "The FAN" first, I expected a really big smashing hit, because of SNIPES and De NIRO together in a flick must be something for the ratings. Unfortunately it was not like that, is it really so easy to invade a sports-pro´s private Life???, I don´t think so, there were no bodyguards around in the scene on the beach with SNIPES´ kid. And the scene where De NIRO killed the teammate of SNIPES´, PRIMO is also far from credibility. Well, overall it´s a quiet good movie, but don´t expect a really tension-like psycho drama compared to CAPE FEAR, for example. And why BASEBALL ?, ok, it´s a big sport in the USA, but SNIPES could also have acted as a tennis-pro, that would have been fare more realistic, cause from my experience, to get closer to Tennis-Pro´s is indeed an easy thing.
