Primetime Recap: Robert Pattinson Shines as Notorious Pedophile Hunter Chris Hansen ★★★★★

The film draws inspiration from the true story of Chris Hansen, an Emmy-winning American journalist best known for his television show “To Catch a Predator,” which aired on Dateline NBC from 2004 to 2007. The show conducted sting operations to catch potential pedophiles, where staff members posed as minors in online chats. When adult men arrived for meetings with their supposed victims, Hansen would confront them, camera crew in tow, with pointed questions delivered in a calmly devastating manner.
