Gerard Butler? Um, hot Scottish actor? I’d watch any movie with him in it. From The Phantom of the Opera to The Ugly Truth. And Jennifer Aniston? She is sassy and sexy and determined in all her movies. What a genius idea to put these two hot people together in a movie.

The Bounty Hunter is an action-romantic comedy directed by Andy Tennant, starring Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston.

The two play a couple who have previously been married and divorced. Milo Boyd, played by Butler, is a bounty hunter, and Nicole Hurley, played by Aniston, is a reporter who assaulted a cop. When Nicole skips a court date to meet a contact on a suspicious suicide case, Milo is hired to retrieve her and bring her to jail. Right off, I could tell this would be interesting because Milo was overjoyed to hear that Nicole was his next assignment. There is no doubt Butler enjoys locking Aniston is his car trunk, chaining her to a bed, or ragging on her for no reasoning. But Aniston, being the feisty, sassy woman she is does not put up with it. She gives him a run for his money. Milo realizes nothing is ever simple between him and Nicole. I certainly believe these two hated each other most of the movie, but in some twisted way you can tell they are madly in love with each other. Throughout the movie, the exes continually try to one-up each other. They are no longer running after each other– they are running for their lives now. The couple get one fun scene together in Atlantic City, but that is not what brings them back together– it is solving a crime. The Bounty Hunter is all around good. Great actors, great plot, great theme.
