With a spoof on the famous Dateline NBC show playing in the background, this crime thriller - a la Hitchcock interlaced with wry humor - is a fun "Darkotica" that will make you sit on the edge of your seat and thrill you with a smile. Fritz Handsome has been given the opportunity of a life time and all the breaks that one can dream of. He is married to a beautiful heiress and is the host of the most controversial TV series in the land. But trouble in paradise emerges as soon as the show hits the air. Mysterious phone calls, murder, extortion, desperation and kidnapping are just a few of the scenarios you will experience in this roller coaster ride. Full frontal nudity and some violent sex adds to this mix to make it a unique viewing experience. With Brent Collins from Payton Collins: Serial Rapist and a new cast, this film from cult writer/director Toby Ross is blast.

disappointing
I've grown to look forward to Toby Ross DVD's. I was a little disappointed by this one. The production quality should be getting better as he produces more film's, but it is not... The sound in most scenes sounds like an echo chamber. Some of the sets are recognizable from his other films and they don;t even bother to take down promotional posters for his other films in the background.The story is weak and took too long to get into. Hey, don't you know the phone number to the payphone next to the soda machine that Handsomes wife will stop at to get a soda on the way home, and can't you predict the exact time she will be there. A boardroom scene where the main character "Handsom" was pitching the show idea seemed to drag forever and the actors were really weak.There are a few nude shots that feel like they were thrown in, just to make it more interesting, but even that is not enough to make the film "entertaining"Not my favorite Toby Ross Film!

AMATEURISH RUBBISH
I gave this one star as Amazon do not allow you to rate a film with no stars. Maybe it should be rated minus 10. Everything is dreadful about this film.The color is a mess in many scenes.The acting does not exist- in fact you cringe when watching most of the performances.Lazy script and the director (maybe there wasn't one?)is as mundane as the actors are.You know the film is going to be bad as there is no name or address on the sleeve of the company who released the dvd .Isn't that illegal?

Waste of Money
This is by far the worst DVD I have ever seen. Do not buy this so called movie we all hated it and want our time back as well as cash. Horrid.

Who Are The Real Predators?
Perhaps more than any other film-maker, cult director Toby Ross loves to bend or weave through genres and his ideas are seemingly endless. Rather than re-visiting old themes or rehashing formulaic ideas, Ross rolls the dice and wins! To Fetch A Predator is a rather quirky hybrid that works well not only as part erotic thriller but also very well as a satire of NBC's Dateline. Although To Fetch A Predator could easily be part of Ross' Darkotica series, the viewer will more than likely find it to be less brooding and downtrodden. In fact, there's a very sly humor which permeates the dark atmosphere making his latest endeavor one entertaining if not highly ambitious film & perhaps a crossover blend which will undoubtedly reach a wider audience. What I enjoyed most about the film is how it forces us to question our own morals or re-think everything we've been taught to believe about sexual predators as well as the fashioned media. In the end, we should wonder who the real predators are. If you're a fan of Toby Ross, To Fetch A Predator doesn't disappoint. On the other hand, this wouldn't be a bad place to start if you've never caught one of his films before. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

A Hot Story
The story is what was the hottest about this flick. Sure, there was plenty of eye candy to keep a guy satisfied. But the real gem of this was the intrigue.
