Primetime (2026)

I'm not really much of a fan of R Patz, but this might be his best effort since "The Lighthouse" (2019). Here, he's a real-life television host who fronts a show that exposes older men who have a penchant for young teens. These men are entrapped by an actor on social media and then lured to an home where they are confronted by Chris Hansen before being surrendered to the authorities. One problem for the show is that their (not always very convincing) decoys tend to find the whole experience fairly traumatic and so don't tend to stick around for long.…

Check out my full review @ Rating: B- PRIMETIME is a thought-provoking, well-acted look at a TV phenomenon I knew nothing about, and I liked it just enough. Robert Pattinson is transformative and hypnotic as Chris Hansen, even if I’m not convinced by how monstrous the movie makes him. Skyler Gisondo steals several scenes, and Merritt Wever is good as Andie, though the sound mix drowns her out a couple of times. The boxy frame, the grainy blue, and the early-2000s textures suit a story

Weird movie. Didn't quite deserve the hype. Definitely worth a watch, but can't say I ever watched an episode of 'To Catch a Predator' and frankly I'm glad. There's a lot of sickos in this world, that's for sure. Robert Pattinson's portraysl of Chris Hansen is really something, and that alone made me stick with this one.
