Bounty Hunter

It’s been a classic arcade game, a guilty-pleasure TV series, and a gritty reality show, but now bounty hunting crosses the line into comedic territory this Friday when Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler star in The Bounty Hunter. A cross between decades-old “on the run” comedies like Bird on a Wire and the action packed husband vs. wife thriller Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Bounty Hunter finds Butler assigned to track down and bring to justice the woman who happens to be his ex-wife. Aniston plays a bail-jumping investigative reporter tracking a murder case, but when the bickering couple reconnects they find themselves not only constantly one-upping each other but on the run for their lives. Christine Baranski and Jason Sudeikis co-star. Rated PG-13.
