Synopsis

In 2006, To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen sets out to make television history, turning an undercover investigation into one of the most controversial cultural phenomena of the decade.

Reception

Critics: 88%
Audience: 80%

Critics largely liked this dramatization of a predator-sting TV show, pointing to Robert Pattinson's vivid performance, Skyler Gisondo as a moral anchor, and Oppenheim's unsettling, stylized approach. The recurring caveat is that the film can feel as exploitative as the program it examines, and some wanted more substance behind the style.
