I need to chase the story: briefly; Nicole "Nick" Hunter [Jennifer Aniston:] she is a reporter for Daly News and she on this story which could be potentially big, but she misses her timeslot for her appearance in court let's just say for a traffic violation. A warrant is issued for her arrest, the Bounty Hunter that is given this contract is Milo Boyd [Gerard Butler:] he is an ex-police officer turned Bounty Hunter, but more importantly is the ex-husband of Hunter, so at least on the surface there is going to be friction between these two.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 106 minutes film is laid out to follow a simple structure of essentially a journey, which this is not any problem.

Character developments and performances, comedy and action; the character developments and the performances of vast majority of this cast are safe and reliable versions of what they are meant to be consequently the viewers have reliable performances to reflect that as well. But we come onto the biggest problem of this title; which is our lead partnership of Hunter/Anderson and  Boyd/Butler; their individual character types are also reliable versions of what they are meant to be, but man their on-screen chemistry is non-existent for likewise the vast majority of this film, don't get me wrong towards the later stages of this title there is some. But their interactions for a lot of the time is like nails on a chalkboard. Which as you can imagine does effect this title in its entirety; be it the comedy which has as much positive impact as a plastic bag caught in an up draft, but don't worry eventually we have some fun with a golf cart chasing sequence.

This film receives: 3/10, this film is poor; I mean I did consider putting it into the mixed bracket of my marking system, but on reflection it just got harder and harder and to justify if you're me to be honest with you, so I could either put it in the next bracket at a push or a solid poor film. As you can clearly see it has an abundance of problems, but if you like one or both of Butler and/or Anderson take a look at this film, but I would go in with low expectations.
