PRIMETIME
The film
In 2006, To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen sets out to make television history.
I really enjoyed this, but it’s structured slightly different than you might think. Once the show gets established, the perspective shifts to Skyler Gisondo’s character Dan Plumb, who plays the decoys who lure the predators in. He’s basically the co lead of the movie and does fantastic job. Pattinson is equally great with such a crazy performance. The movie shows you how this became a cultural phenomenon, how that fame affected Hansen, and makes you look at the ethics of what they were doing.
