close to getting a dislike but the acting was good. by about halfway through, i thought to myself, “this can’t be all there is,” but then i realized there was no plot to be resolved in the first place. super melodramatic in a pointless way. artsy with zero substance.

riveting from start to end, all of the stories and characters had something interesting going on and it really impacted me
of course it’s a fictionalized retelling, but i think it rings true to the concepts they were trying to explore and lets you come to your own conclusions

I really liked how this was filmed, the grainy picture made it feel authentic to its setting
It wasn’t pure seriousness even though its story is definitely more creepy and and disturbing
Plot wise I would say it wasn’t what I was expecting just because I thought it would go into more about the DA and how that ended up with the show getting canceled and not just end the movie on the DAs death but it wasn’t a bad ending
When I was telling my mom about it she brought up how in reviews people were saying about the movie it seemed like they wanted the predator catchers to be seen as an “is this wrong” type of thing and I did sort of get that impression from the movie too but it also reminded me of a scene from nymphomaniac I’m not sure if it’s vol 1 or 2
But basically the main character is telling this man about when she would berate and beat up people who were in debt to a company she worked for and one of the times the person she was berating was a pedophile and he had never met up with children and he was deeply ashamed of his attraction and the main character felt wrong about using this shame against him but the man she was telling the story too tried to comfort her by saying the pedophile deserved it for for being a pedophile
(I hope I’m not remembering that too incorrectly)
I definitely think this show was great for catching predators
I only remember seeing a couple episodes in passing when I was younger bc i think it was already off air by then
Also Robert Pattinson did a great job like he really felt creepy and distressed and the story about being in India and the missing children was really disturbing (although idk how much of that is like true)

Pattinson’s performance is a stunning example of his acting range. The supporting cast is equally exemplary. The film is bold, imaginative, and darkly funny. Felt like existing in the static, in between screen and reality. Eye-opening in witnessing Hansen gradually unravel.

Pro Epstein propaganda, could’ve been a phenomenal film but the Jewish director other priorities (not surprising) Robert Pattinson gave a good performance yet at the cost of portraying a good man as a villain, glad to hear that he didn’t like how the film portrayed Chris Hansen but upsetting that he decided to continue the project.

I really like the style this movie had to it and how it tried to replicate that old aesthetic the actually show had. Really appreciated how much attention to detail they put into this movie

“Decoy DAAAAANNNNNN!”
Really intense movie. Love the super hardcore color saturation, really enjoyed the pacing of the story and the subplots with Dan and Andi and how it all came together, and Pattinson just kills it as Chris Hansen. Skyler Gisondo is awesome in this as well. I thought they balanced the morality really well too, not making Hansen look like the villain, but still questioning the methods behind the camera.
Definitely recommend!
7.8/10

I feel very milquetoast about this, art wise some pretty fantastic shots, they coulda dialed back on the grain a bit, otherwise some great shots
Rob pat is the seller, he kills the role
Everything else was just….okay?

Masterful performance of Pattison & cast, really nice photography BUT I don't think it delivered the message very good, I think it's a bit a messed up narration. Beside that, it's a nice movie.

Robert Pattinson does an insane job in this movie. I really enjoyed it. The cinematography and editing was unique which I sort of expect from A24. I’m sure it wasn’t true to life but I loved the vampiric way Hanson was portrayed in this movie.

Why don’t you take a seat 🪑 and read my meh review. Well acted across the board but something was missing for me…I wish it dove deeper into the “why” of Chris Hansen being the way he is, and also felt like the ending was abrupt without sharing what happened afterwards.

“How about a Pepsi” 8.0/10
I have loved Hanson, How to Catch a Predator, and Pattinson for years now so this review could be a bit biased. I very much enjoyed the plot and pacing of this movie, along with the creative filming style. Although I think the truth is only maybe 30% of the movie, it’s still a very entertaining and fun watch. Pattinson killed it as Hanson and the supporting actors also were great. It might’ve drug a little in the end but I really enjoyed this one. If you’re into true crime, thrillers, Hanson, Pattinson this is for you.
