Nothing that really impacts you, though DeNiros performance is quite haunting. It is even better when you see some sports fans that are just as crazy/passionate as he is, it is kinda scary. The Fan will never be anything more than a popcorn movie but... (read more)

Yet again De Niro shines and again as a bad guy. Hes brilliant as the obsessive sports fan who stalks Wesley Snipes. Great twists and turns.

You know how I said that there's two Tony Scotts, one who makes good movies and one makes bad movies. There's a third one, a FUCKING HORRIBLE Tony Scott. Luckily, he has only showed up this one time. This makes Top Gun a masterpiece of plotting, t... (read more)

Why so angry Bob? Just a disappointing film. Ending ... predictable and dumb. The only positive was reading how De Niro kept one of the bobble heads as a souvenir when they had been on loan from a private collector. Punk.
