The Fan

A troubled salesman who peddles knives, Gil Renard (Robert De Niro) has a volatile personality, which has resulted in divorce and a strained relationship with his young son. The one thing that Renard cares passionately about is baseball, particularly the San Francisco Giants and the team's newest recruit, Bobby Rayburn (Wesley Snipes). As Renard's personal life continues to crumble, he begins obsessively tracking Rayburn, leading to kidnapping and even murder.

Critic Reviews:

• " Tony Scott's energetic direction is the outstanding element of The Fan. The guy just makes this otherwise standard fare really pop. " – Ed Travis

• " This slick, extremely gripping thriller is three-quarters an excellent movie that only falls apart during a tense but ultimately ridiculous finale. " – Chuck O'Leary

• " A Home run for the thriller genre.. De Niro, in top form " – Caffeinated Clint
