Erik Oct 22, 2025 Good but a little self-important at the end and never really covered the deterrence angle See more Ed Sep 29, 2025 It fills one in on what happened to the show To Catch a Predator. A few moments drag a bit too long but overall an opportunity to understand the dynamics of show. See more Armand R @RT57451367 2 days ago This director must be a predator. Chris Hanson is a hero and the show did great things. This documentary sympathizes with the predators and villainizes Chris Hanson. See more Andrew A @rt_andrew 6 days ago Good but not great; the director's self-insertion into the doc doesn't feel as developed as it should have been and winds up falling a bit flat dramatically See more Trevor S @RT55934094 Sep 7, 2026 Misguided revisionism that protects monsters and attacks accountability.. If you want a masterclass in how a documentary can completely lose the plot, look no further. Instead of focusing on the victims or the actual gravity of these crimes, this project spends an absurd amount of energy playing sympathy card tricks for predators and painting public accountability as the real villain. Omitting crucial evidence like actual illegal material found on hard drives just to manufacture a narrative that law enforcement and public interest figures are "harassing" these guys is outright journalistic malpractice. It’s infuriating, manipulative, and a massive insult to anyone looking for actual justice. Hard pass. See more TheFilmCritics @TheFilmCritics Aug 30, 2026 Justice makes strange television, and Predators is at its most compelling when it asks why we enjoyed watching it happen. David Osit’s documentary revisits To Catch a Predator with fascinating archival footage and a welcome refusal to frame the series as either heroic public service or pure exploitation. Its sharpest insight is that the real discomfort lies not only in the televised humiliation, but in the audience’s appetite for righteous spectacle. The film becomes less focused when it expands into internet vigilantism, true-crime culture and amateur sleuthing, sometimes raising provocative ideas without fully developing them. Its contemplative pace can also feel meandering, but the questions linger. By making a familiar piece of early-2000s television feel unsettlingly strange again, Predators delivers a thoughtful, if imperfect, examination of justice as entertainment.
