Reviews from our users [Review this film]
"The Fan is the most suspenseful baseball film out there, hands down. Once you start this one, you'll want to know how it ends. Wesley Snipes plays a great role as baseball superstar and ditto for Robert DeNiro as psychotic fan. Even a non-baseball fan would enjoy this phycho-thriller. There was more baseball play than I expected and alot of filming around Candlestick Park."
