In 2006, To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen sets out to make television history. When a high stakes operation goes fatally wrong, his veneered dream of fame curdles into a nightmare of performative justice.
I was surprised when this film featured a story set in the village of Pandalam in Kerala, and I heard the characters speaking in Malayalam. Usually, whenever India is depicted in films, it is almost always limited to Mumbai or Delhi. This is the first time I have seen South India represented in a Hollywood movie.
A lack of protagonist kind of film, with a loose script that tries so hard to tell many things to finally tell nothing relevant, the acting is saved by Merrit Wever by far. Seems like Pattinson and Chandaya are in a race for who make more flops in a year.
Haha.. Pattinson is just THE man to play dislikable and repulsive characters. "The Devil All The Time" was the role that really made me pay attention.. Absolute SINISTER in that movie..
The problem with Chris Hansen is that while he started off with good intentions, his obsession with sensationalism drove him and copycat shows to engage in activities that all too often led to perps getting acquitted on technicalities. This film, while flawed, nevertheless does a decent job showing how that obsession ultimately does more harm than good.
And a lot of police departments and activist groups have complained that cases got sabotaged because of failure to follow proper procedure, so evidence and testimony ends up getting tossed out in court. It's one thing to expose predators. It's entirely another thing to put them away, and Hansen and his copycats aren't making that latter job easy.
most of these "predator hunters" dont do it for justice... they are just violente primitives or psychopaths looking their way to hurt people... they just try and hurt "bad people", but they dont want a better world... they need this world to be like that
This site keeps going offline all day long. Tried different vpn's too, sometimes it's working and sometimes not. Anyone else going through the same nonsense?
its already on... piracy was always difficult... just thanks you live in this new world with a site like this one... back in the day you'd fill your pc with viruses only to download the wrong film in 480p... but it would be fine, at least you'd got a movie to watch
