The Fanatic (2019)
1/10
Awful
9 September 2020
Pulp Fiction helped resurrect John Travolta's flagging movie career in the 90's. This is the film that will surely drag him firmly back to straight-to-SyFy channel territory. A truly bad-natured film, The Fanatic has nothing good to say about anything, be it Hollywood, actors, people with mental health issues, even street performers and tourists. The role of Moose is woefully acted out by Travolta who manages to negate any sympathy his character could have garnered with his downright weirdness and unconvincing tics. The film plays out like a twisted, overlong version of Eminem's Stan video (indeed there is a connection). It doesn't know if it is meant to be scary or tragic, in the end it is neither, unless you are watching it as Travolta's agent.

Avoid it if you can or watch it if you are a big fan of train wrecks.
