Director: Andy Tennant
Stars: Jennifer Aniston, Gerard Butler (Full Cast)
Studio: Columbia Pictures
A bounty hunter (Butler) learns that his next target is his ex-wife (Aniston), a reporter working on a murder cover-up. Soon after their reunion, the always-at-odds duo find themselves on a run-for-their-lives adventure with a bunch of New Jersey heavies in pursuit.
The first trailer for this "high-concept comedy" hit the Internet with a thud. Sadly, The Bounty Hunter looks to be kind of mainstream fare that could have been made by either Jennifer Aniston or Gerard Butler at the beginning of their respective careers -- but now? It feels like safe and mid-range entertainment. I can understand it if Gerard Butler and his handlers are trying to find a balance between action flicks and romantic comedies, but all they really need to do is re-watch The Ugly Truth to realize the genre does not suit him. I'm surprised Butler isn't holding a gun over his anatomy in the poster. Speaking of the poster, where is Jennifer Aniston's left hip?
