I have no issue with John Travolta being the bad guy. He was great in <I>Face/Off</i> and <I>Broken Arrow</i>, but this was a stretch, especially with that haircut. It became a bit of a stretch throughout, and I feel Sawa's character wasn't given full reign to do what a person in his shoes would do if this were to really happen.
Overall, this was just garbage, which it shouldn't have been.
<B>Final thoughts:</B>
<i><A HREF="https://boxd.it/1Ym8">The Fan</A></i> is a better athlete/stalker film than this.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply uncomfortable descent into the mind of a mentally disabled stalker whose admiration curdles into violence. The film treats its protagonist with a detached cruelty that mirrors the contempt shown to him by others, creating an experience that's more queasy than thrilling.
