All fans have a favorite player. This one has a favorite target.
When the San Francisco Giants pay center-fielder, Bobby Rayburn $40 million to lead their team to the World Series, no one is happier or more supportive than #1 fan, Gil Renard. When Rayburn becomes mired in the worst slump of his career, the obsessed Renard decides to stop at nothing to help his idol regain his former glory—not even murder.

What was a pretty good 3/4, the last act was too ridiculous to take seriously. Still as a whole fine performances from both De Niro and Snipes even if neither were in top form, but at least appeared to be trying instead of phoning it in as both have done in the past decade or so. Also a testament, as I could never see the NFL doing this, for the MLB to allow licensing on their teams with a fan, albeit a psychopath (or is it sociopath?), being portrayed that way. **2.75/5**
