The Bounty Hunter
The Bounty Hunter is a skip tracer’s wet dream in that after a bitter divorce Milo Boyd (Gerard Butler) a former cop reduced to running down bail bond delinquents is assigned the task of finding his ex wife who neglected to make a court date and putting her behind bars. She is Nicole Hurley played by Rachel – oops I mean Jennifer Aniston who has fared much better since the big D as a newspaper reporter. While Milo is spending the weekend between New York and Atlantic City trying to bring her to justice she’s giving him the slip while trying to prove that a recent suicide is actually a murder and eventually discovers that their mutual NYPD friend Bobby (Dorian Missick) may have been part of a cover up. Notable are SNL’s Jason Sudeikis as Stewart, Nicole’s workmate who thinks he’s got a shot and Christine Baranski as Nicole’s uninhibited mother Kitty but really The Bounty Hunter simply features two infinitely appealing actors in an only moderately appealing romantic comedy. The plot doesn’t go much past the heavily promoted trailers and being portrayed by such adorable people do ya think Milo and Nicole just might rethink their split before the final credits roll?
