Review: The Bounty Hunter
In the film, Milo Boyd (Gerard Butler) is a down-on-his-luck bounty hunter who gets his dream job when he is assigned to track down his bail-jumping ex-wife, reporter Nicole Hurly (Jennifer Aniston). This is pretty much explained in the first scene, her escaping from the boot of his car and running away. Stop frame and words pop up indicating that he’s a bounty hunter, she’s a bail jumper, then TA-DA they are ex husband and wife. This lead to one of the very few laugh out loud moments for me. When a film needs to explain the pitch in the first scene it’s all down hill from there. I can actually see them in the room with the production company pitching the idea. ‘Great idea for a film lads, do you have a story to go with it?’ ‘A story? eh….sure we do’
