The Bounty Hunter
Milo Boyd, a down-on-his-luck bounty hunter, thinks he's seeing an upswing in fortune when he gets a call to bring in his bail-jumping ex-wife, a reporter named Nicole. Milo considers the job an easy payday, but Nicole quickly escapes to chase a lead on a murder case. The former spouses play an escalating game of one-upmanship, until they suddenly find themselves on the run for their lives.

The film drops significantly from the well-received honeymoon hotel sequence to the criticized handcuffed-to-bed scene, falling 1.8 points as reviewers found the familiar tropes increasingly tiresome.
The Bounty Hunter starts with moderate enthusiasm from reviewers who appreciated the star chemistry between Butler and Aniston, peaks early with their romantic moments, but gradually declines as critics found the plot increasingly predictable and clichéd. While the leads' natural charisma kept some viewers engaged, most felt the film was a paint-by-numbers rehash of better romantic action comedies, with tonal inconsistencies and familiar scenarios that failed to justify the talented cast.
