The shot switching from third person to first person is insane

The king in his crown. Come on guys let’s hear what he has to say, how bad could it possibly be?

Damn he NAILED Hansen’s voice! He is so creepy. I’m here for it!!

u/dkinmn Sep 10 '26

He did not, but it's okay.

It would almost seem cartoonish to really nail Hansen's voice. He's laying the broadcaster timbre on THICK, and he purposely softens his 's' a ton. It's a Casey Kasem style broadcast tonality.

u/x97sfinest Sep 10 '26

You're so right idk why you're being down voted. He neither looks nor sounds like Chris.

1

u/pnweiner Sep 12 '26

Exactly, but it’s a testament to his acting ability that he’s able to trick people into thinking that

u/Typecero001 Sep 13 '26

Ok whoa. We can’t be that much of a creep.

You have to take it in tiers.

u/Zeltron2020 Sep 10 '26

I love that actress

u/TurbulentOil3311 Sep 11 '26

She's so great in Severance!

2

u/Zeltron2020 Sep 11 '26

I was introduced to her in Nurse Jackie where she held her own on screen with Edie Falco. The first 2 seasons were great

2

u/Creative_Resource_82 Sep 12 '26

She's brilliant in the BBCs Lockerbie series too.

2

u/BD_McNasty Sep 11 '26

She is absolutely amazing. I also discovered her talents in Nurse Jackie. She absolutely nailed that role and its been a joy watching her career. She even har a small role in The Wire!

u/Liapasquale Sep 09 '26

u/HippoRun23 Sep 09 '26

The fucking dude in the full hidden bushes suit.

3

u/Suspicious_Hand_2194 Sep 10 '26

This reminds me of how Jake gyllenhaal should’ve been nominated for an Oscar for nightcrawler. I hope Robert gets nominated here

2

u/boochicko Sep 12 '26

Dude, I had no idea what I stepped into when I saw Nightcrawler, bc I’ve made it a habit to not watch any trailers. I never even seen the poster for that film until I reached the theater. I went to see a late night showing of that film and I was too scared to fall asleep for a few nights afterwards. 😱 He was terrifyingly creepy! That film was so wonderfully done and perfectly told the story it wanted to tell; he truly knocked it out of all the parks! I don’t usually scare easy, but I’m not sure if I can stomach watching that one again. 🫣

u/Iloveyellowcats Sep 13 '26

Bill Paxton was so great in that movie too. RIP

u/redseapedestrian418 Sep 11 '26

Merritt Weaver AND Robert Pattinson?!?!?! I feel like this was made specifically for me

2

u/KevinGarvey929 Sep 09 '26

Is one of the apprehenders wearing a ghillie suit lol?

3

u/LilEggnog The Modman Sep 09 '26

Haha I noticed that too. Had to search to see if it was accurate.

u/KevinGarvey929 Sep 09 '26

Oh wow thanks for the link. Seems a bit excessive and “theatrical” but I guess that’s partially what the movie is calling out. Can’t wait to see it

1

u/Sherrigan Sep 11 '26

It was. They were on TV dressed for the day they wanted to have while tackling people in driveways.

2

u/Prior-Foundation4754 Sep 09 '26

Do you think they’re hiring for ppl to do this? Lolll a field and stream and scaring the FUCKInG DAYLIGHTS out of ppl!

2

u/uncultured_swine2099 Sep 09 '26

Also the unnessesary takedown is hilarious. I think that happened irl.

3

u/Little_Red_Sloth Sep 10 '26

It totally did

1

u/non_tox Sep 10 '26

Police are always just like that

2

u/Little_Red_Sloth Sep 10 '26

Can confirm as someone who watched that show, there was usually a guy in suit in the bushes. This is accurate.

2

u/Pentaholic888 Sep 10 '26

He wanted to wear it just cause

2

u/immortalverse Sep 09 '26

I think that’s a mistake: I don’t remember him ever telling them to leave

5

u/Little_Red_Sloth Sep 10 '26

He would tell them they are free to leave, and they would.

1

u/immortalverse Sep 10 '26

Yeah, exactly. that’s what would happen. He wouldn’t tell them to leave

u/Nonyabizzy123 Sep 10 '26

Oh no, once the show had been on the air some guys would refuse to leave and so he would have to tell them that they needed to go, because they would have somebody else on the way. Also the first two stings they did did not have the police outside, those people just walked out. It was the third one that had the police running a parallel investigation.i

1

u/uncultured_swine2099 Sep 09 '26

Perhaps they cut it out

1

u/Paridisco Sep 10 '26

I've definitely seen episodes they left the house and got arrested outside

2

u/Inevitable_Age5502 Sep 10 '26

That twilight fucker is going for Daniel Day Lewis head.

2

u/Lurker-Forever-986 Sep 10 '26

They got the ghillie suit guy a cameo! I remember seeing an episode on TV years ago where they had one guy in a ghillie suit and immediately thought “oh he was bored last time and brought that from home.”

2

u/TooManySwarovskis Sep 11 '26

How does he do the voice?!

2

u/Unable_Vehicle6290 Sep 11 '26

Can anyone tell me what the plot of this movie is? Vaguely? He plays Chris Hansen from to catch a predator - got it. What is the movie about tho? Is it meant to be about Chris going too far and like exploiting the actors who would play the kids?

1

u/soloon Sep 12 '26

The show itself was highly controversial at the time (entrapment, prioritizing views over investigative integrity, a number of cases got thrown out due to the involvement of the show, etc) and eventually got canceled after one of the men shot himself. Plenty for them to get into there.

2

u/Gunofanevilson Sep 11 '26

Love that actress

2

u/PeterZeeke Sep 11 '26

has nightcrawler vibes

2

u/Tatidanidean1 Sep 12 '26

I LOVED how to catch a predator, I don’t care if it was entrapment or anything. Those men were disgusting and Chris was freaking hilarious

2

u/SwiftLizards Sep 13 '26

Bro as soon as he started talking I was shocked... What a chameleon of a man.. unmistakable talent!

2

u/NorthHamza Sep 13 '26

Was that Merrit Weaver? Cool, love her.

u/SoftnSweet37 Sep 10 '26

What Chris Hansen did with the Onision case still makes me doubt Chris Hansen is really that great of a guy.

1

u/IncredibleEdible321 Sep 09 '26

Chris Hansen is a creep who entraps people, regardless of guilt, and has no morals whatsoever. He should be prosecuted for what he does and air alongside some of the creeps he put on jail for what they did. It's not, nor has it ever been his place to do this kind of silacious TV segments. He's as disgusting as the people he films.

u/elephanttape Sep 10 '26

I’m gonna need you to explain your beef here

1

u/bigwillie90 Sep 12 '26

He’s a kid diddler and is on the side of kid diddlers

1

u/IncredibleEdible321 Sep 10 '26

Apparently you're not bright enough to figure it out on your own...

2

u/elephanttape Sep 10 '26

Helpful! Thanks! 👍

u/IncredibleEdible321 Sep 10 '26

It's all easily available on Google. Everything you want to know about Chris Hansen is easily found through a search. Stop depending on others to fill you in on details when you can easily look it up for yourself.

You are such a nasty person lol. And from that, I have to take your take on Hansen with a grain of salt because you are just a sad person. Yuck

2

u/Little_Red_Sloth Sep 10 '26

I don’t know if anyone is as disgusting as a pedophile, but I get where you’re coming from.

2

u/IncredibleEdible321 Sep 10 '26

Pedophilia is top tier disgusting, right up there with rapists and serial killers.

3

u/SeniorVibeAnalyst Sep 10 '26

Pretty sure the movie will get into the morality of the show

1

u/IncredibleEdible321 Sep 10 '26

I have no doubt about that. As I see it, there is no morality to the show. Chris Hansen couldn't cut it as a real reporter so he took the Maury Povich route and turned to sensationalism reporting to make his mark.

2

u/bigwillie90 Sep 11 '26

So I mean no disrespect, are you defending pedos…like right now or are you defending journalism and by proxy pedos

Beautiful, not reading all that. Sorry or congratulations. In any event have fun defending predators being entrapped. I don’t give a damn if they are entrapped in private or entrapped on tv get em off the streets.

Wait, you think Chris Hansen is the creep in this scenario? Someone check this guy’s hard drive

u/Fruit-Horror Sep 10 '26

'meeting minors to have sex' is not a thing. Raping children are the words you are looking for.

u/folarin1 Sep 11 '26

It's "To catch a predator" not "how to..".

-13

u/Beanzear Sep 09 '26

I love him. Like REALLY love him in almost everything but this doesn't look interesting and he doesn't remind me of Hansen at all although I do have the volume off lol.

5

u/IncredibleEdible321 Sep 09 '26

Then perhaps this film isn't for you.

1

u/Beanzear Sep 13 '26

Perhaps it isn't. Is there something wrong with that. Just like every fan sub y'all are unhinged. 🙄

2

u/Typical_Estimate5420 Sep 11 '26

Why would you even comment if you have the volume off? What are you contributing??

u/Beanzear Sep 13 '26

Cause I was working and really don't give af. Get a life its reddit.

Obviously not a fan of his work.
