Reviews & comments
Variety
pressThis paralyzingly awkward combination of "I Am Sam" and "The Fan" (either version) plus a little "Misery" - OK, make that a lot of misery - does truly impress in all the wrong ways.
Salon
press"The Fanatic" needs to be stronger, or wilder, or creepier. Mostly, it just needs to be better. Travolta, who seems to be racing Nicolas Cage to the bottom these days, gives a cringe-inducing performance as Moose.
The New York Times
pressAs it lumbers to its climax, the movie delineates the border that separates the merely stale from the genuinely rancid.
Los Angeles Times
pressIt's probably for the best that "The Fanatic" is so terrible. If it were made with any actual care, it'd be offensive instead of just dumb.
