The Bounty Hunter (Review)

The premise of Andy Tennant's latest — a former cop turned bounty hunter (Gerard Butler) gets the chance to bust his ex-wife (Jennifer Aniston) but gets caught up in a twisty mystery that leads the couple to reconsider their relationship — must have sounded foolproof to studio executives hanging out in a hot tub time machine set for the 1980s. This lazy action-oriented romantic comedy can't quite seem to make up its mind what it wants to be, and its leads aren’t exactly suited to carry such an unpackaged burden. Grade: D.
