The Bounty Hunter
An action-romance-comedy from the director of Hitch, pairing Jennifer Aniston with Gerard Butler.
Milo (Butler), a down-on-his-luck bounty hunter, gets his dream job when he is assigned to track down his bail-jumping ex-wife, reporter Nicole (Aniston). He thinks it's an easy payday but when Nicole gives him the slip so she can chase a lead on a murder cover-up, the chase is on and Milo realises nothing ever goes simply with him and Nicole. Soon, Nicole's snooping angers the wrong people and they both find themselves running for their lives.

pressThis dire battle-of-the-exes action-comedy severely tests audience goodwill by running an indulgent 110 minutes, crammed as it is with half-baked thriller subplots and aimless supporting characters, as if to distract from the central duo's nonstop bickering.
The New York Times
pressFor his sins poor Stewart is kidnapped, tortured and shot up with horse tranquilizer after his leg is broken. It’s disturbing, and somewhat baffling too, until you grasp that this hapless sucker is a surrogate for the audience.
Um, I spent money...sat through the whole flick...ya see I'm physically disabled...its hard to go to movies, sitting, standing up, struggling with elbow crutches in dim lit theatres...I wondered if I piss myself should I blame my disability, or "The Bounty Hunter"? The only way I could stop my weewees was by repeatedly saying "piss off", funny that.
