The bounty hunter

There isn’t much reward for Milo Boyd (Gerard Butler) in the hunter’s shoes. With a stoic, uncouth and over indulged manly feel to his character, Butler strives hard to keep up with the ex-cop’s role who was driven off the force for his unacceptable drinking behaviour. Making ends meet by being a bounty hunter, Milo is overjoyed to learn that his next hunt is his ex-wife Nicole (Jennifer Aniston) who has jumped bail. Aniston is a workaholic reporter who’s put her heart and soul in this murder mystery apparently portrayed as a suicide case. While fleeting her ex-husband (the over confident bounty hunter) and the criminals who sense they need to safeguard themselves from this reporter-turned-detective, Aniston hops from being a headstrong woman to a softy at heart working the on-screen chemistry with Butler.

The action sequences are just about average and have not been overdone for a change. There isn’t much sizzling romance in this romantic-action-comedy, although a few humourous twists and goof ups are interesting. Nicole has a fabulous mom, Christine Baranski, who’s always urging her daughter to do something naughty and raunchy, may be because she is more interested in Butler’s butt than Aniston should have been. Andy Tennant tries well but still shows a hint of “Sweet Home Alabama” in his so-called new romantic comedy.
