Kovaonninen palkkionmetsästäjä Milo Boyd (Gerard Butler) saa unelmakeikan, kun hänet palkataan jäljittämään takuuvapaudesta palaamatta jättänyttä ex-vaimoaan, toimittaja Nicole Hurlya (Jennifer Aniston). Milo lähtee exänsä perään helpon rahan toivossa, mutta kun Nicole livistää häneltä tutkiakseen erään peitellyn murhan jäljille vievää johtolankaa, hän joutuu tunnustamaan, ettei mikään hänen ja Nicolen välillä suju koskaan mutkattomasti. Entiset sydänkäpyset yrittävät panna kaikessa toisiaan paremmaksi – kunnes he huomaavat joutuvansa pakenemaan yhdessä henkensä edestä. Jos oli aikanaan kova paikka vannoa toisilleen rakkautta, keskinäistä kunnioitusta ja uskollisuutta... kimpassa hengissä selviäminen se vasta tukala tehtävä onkin. (Walt Disney Nordic Fin.)

The Bounty Hunter spends an unbearable amount of time on deciding whether it wants to be a romantic comedy about the reconciliation of a quarrelling couple or a gangster flick. The presence of Peter Greene is nice, but the two aforementioned storylines wouldn’t even work on their own, much less together. The ladies in the audience found some enjoyment, but the male viewers found the film hard to sit through.

Yuck. Boring. The only two reasons I watched the Bounty Hunter till the end was its rather good plot and the nice duo of actors in the main roles. Otherwise, the movie is a string of unfunny and only sometimes slightly amusing scenes that don’t make any sense.

So the rumors didn't lie... The Bounty Hunter is a really, really bad movie. This is another comedy that lacks jokes and was meant to mainly attract audiences through familiar names. But what good are famous names when one of them is Gerard Butler, a man who should stick to beating Persians over the head and similar roles, and should definitely not be involved in comedies. His stilted delivery kills even the slightest opportunity to create a joke that someone else could have gotten out of a partnership with Jennifer Aniston... someone with comedic talent. Alas.

Since I like Gerard Butler, this movie didn't sit well with me at all. I was looking forward to seeing it in the cinema, my girlfriend and I went to see it, but there wasn't really anything to laugh at throughout the whole time. If it wasn't for that storyline about him being a bounty hunter, it would really be about nothing. One of the reasons why I don't like Jennifer Aniston. Another reason is most of her other roles.
