Robert Pattinson's New Film Draws Praise From Variety

Variety has published a review of "Primetime," a new film in which Robert Pattinson plays a version of Chris Hansen, the television personality known for his on-camera confrontations with men arrested in "To Catch a Predator" stings. According to the review, Pattinson leads a cast the outlet praises, in a film built around the character's methods for producing those segments. The review describes one scene in which Hansen, reviewing footage alongside an editor, asks for a closer, tighter shot of the man on screen. Variety characterizes the film overall as a close, unflinching look at how those segments came together.
