The Robert Pattinson film "Primetime," which explores the life of "To Catch a Predator" host Chris Hansen, is now available for digital purchase and rental.
Released just under two months after its theatrical run, "Primetime" can be streamed on-demand through platforms including Prime Video. The digital release date was Tuesday, November 3.
The film, inspired by true events, stars Pattinson as Hansen, dramatizing the controversial show's approach to turning criminal justice into entertainment. The narrative centers on Hansen's pursuit of television history as a high-stakes sting operation begins to unravel.
Merritt Wever and Skylar Gisondo co-star as Hansen's producer Andie and "Decoy" Dan Plum, respectively. Phoebe Bridgers also makes her acting debut in the film.
Directed by Lance Oppenheim, "Primetime" is based on Luke Dittrich's 2007 Esquire article "Tonight on Dateline This Man Will Die." A review from The Post described Pattinson's performance as a "gung-ho explosion" as Hansen's life deteriorates, calling the film "more of a good time than a profound one."
"Primetime" is available for digital purchase on Prime Video for $24.99 and for rent at $19.99. A rental offers 30 days to start watching and 48 hours of access once playback begins. An Amazon account is required for purchase, but a Prime membership is not necessary. A trailer for the film has also been released.
