BOUNTY HUNTER Movie Review. Just TAG along with the FLOW.

PRESS PREVIEW

Now, pay no heed to the corny advertising slogan “Taking your ex-Wife to Jail?  Best job ever!” shouting out at you right from the BOUNTY HUNTER poster.

For sure, you ain’t about to go screaming and spilling with esctasy

or flipping about in bounces.

Nay ….

That’d really depend on which side of the fence you are on.

You are either a die-hard Jennifer Aniston romantic-comedy fan-type.

Or you are the skeptic who’s paid to pound and trounce

and flexing muscles to tear this movie to bits, simply because you are one-hell of an original critic.

Me?

Despite the inherent lukewarm reviews, I attended the preview with almost zero expectation …

and lo and behold!

I kinda enjoyed this movie, all the more when you just “flow in”, setting aside the devil-may-care and forget everything pertaining the incessant swears-and-tears.

Here’s the silly story that’s guaranteed you won’t have any of those orgasmic spills:

JENNIFER ANISTON plays leggy NICOLE, one self-assuring reporter who’s dead bent on uncovering a suspicious suicide at all costs.

GERALD BUTLER is MILO, a cop who has been fired from his job, and is now a down-on-his-luck bounty hunter.

They were once happily married and now nastily divorced.

So when MILO is hired to retrieve NICOLE who missed a court date on an assault, he is more than gleeful to accept, as he sees it as a vengeance streak.

Escapade after escapade, it is a cat-and-mouse game between the ex-married couple.

They both go frenziedly on a wild goose chase, but the tables are precariously upturned in the end, when both of them are being relentlessly pursued by the baddies that NICOLE is trying to expose.

It’s also hard to say if shapely ANISTON shares an affable chemistry with beefcake BUTLER  on screen as much as I’d say that BRAD PITT is no sex symbol.

Acting is passable from all camps.  What can you expect from a scrīpt with limited scope to stretch your chops?

Go watch this movie with an open mind,

Judge entertainment for yourself and not from what you read.

Didn’t you hear that “one man’s meat is another man’s poison”?

Directed by ANDY TENNANT,BOUNTY HUNTER seeks to entertain and for that, it does quite an admirable job.
