It was alright. (Spoilers)


The fan with robert deniro was better.

I felt sorry for JT's character and not at all for the actor. It was obvious the fan had a developmental issue, when he turned up at the actor's house he should have just signed his stuff and fobbed him off instead of repeatedly threatening this poor bloke.

Easy to say , but i felt for him as a fellow dad, i could feel his stress even tho he was a super successful actor.
His divorce was causing a heavy stress on him.
Some people are successful just cause their looks and connections right, but they ain't empathic. Or even intelligent for that matter. So maybe he was just like " Hey! Fuck this guy!"

Ill have to watch the fan i heard martin Scorsese was a producer! .

I give this one 8/10

The Fan is more psychological on the fan's part. It's quite sinister in places. I haven't seen either film in years, but from memory, it's just a better written story about obsession.

My problem is that he could see within a few seconds and the guy was dealing with mental issues so you don’t treat an handicap person like this. You gently give them what they want and politely send them their way. But then again, rhere wouldn’t be a movie!

The Fan has one of my favourite De Niro performance as a bad guy. Have you seen it yet?
