Directed by Lance Oppenheim, PRIMETIME follows Chris Hansen in 2006 as he sets out to make television history with To Catch a Predator. Robert Pattinson stars as the NBC Dateline correspondent whose groundbreaking investigations would become a cultural phenomenon and change the face of television.
Roger Ebert – “Primetime is a media satire, a thriller, and a horror movie. It’s also about the meaning of the word evil—whether it is best understood as a description of thought and behavior, or a malevolent force.” (full review here)
The Mary Sue – “As a work of fiction, Primetime takes a classic early-2000s show and gives it a thriller spin. Moreover, the thought-provoking moral dilemma it presents and the stellar acting performances make it worth watching on the big screen.” (full review here)
Fort Worth Report – “Blending elements of horror and comedy, the film takes audiences on a surreal journey. Pattinson’s performance is one of the year’s best.” (full review here)
