Robert De Niro's stern performance is riveting! I'm blown away The Fan has a 5.9 at the same time it's understandable with the way it's filmed. A business/baseball fanatic trying to be a good father even though it's difficult with a edgy X wife not allowing the dad around. The soundtrack, suspense, drama and writing are magnificent! Surely has its flaws but to me The Fan blows any feelings out of the park.
