A sensationalist TV journalist (Robert Pattinson) lands a lucrative primetime slot on national television and becomes obsessed with turning his sting-operation reality show into an unbeatable ratings juggernaut.
Inspired by the real-life origins of To Catch a Predator, he collaborates with a hungry young decoy actor (Skyler Gisondo) and an ambitious producer (Merritt Wever) to trap suspects on camera.
As the show’s popularity skyrockets, the line between journalistic ethics and mass-media exploitation disintegrates, spiraling into an intense obsession with ratings where justice is weaponized purely for public entertainment.
Director Lance Oppenheim delivers a chilling, razor-sharp psychological thriller and dark media satire, backed by an edgy script from Ajon Singh and an unsettling, hypnotic lead performance from Robert Pattinson. This film crafts a hypnotic, tension-filled portrait of modern media corruption and the dark mechanics of sensationalized television.
From high-stakes sting operations caught on hidden cameras to the quiet, disturbing greed behind control-room monitors, this gripping thriller is an unforgettable examination of ambition and spectacle.
