The Bounty Hunter

The Bounty Hunter, starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler (2010) Rated PG-13 Ex-cop-turned-bounty hunter Milo Boyd (Butler, 300) is ecstatic when he gets his new assignment: his ex-wife, reporter Nicole Hurley (Aniston), has skipped bail to pursue a breaking story. Naturally, when he catches her, he also gets caught up in the mystery--though the mystery is really just an excuse for quirky comic bickering between the estranged lovebirds. Refreshingly, the script has ... off-beat rhythms and flavors of comedy-action flicks ... The Bounty Hunter rises above the average Hollywood rom-com. --Bret Fetzer
