The Bounty Hunter With Gerard Butler

The Bounty Hunter is a lot like Charles Dickens’ famous introductory remarks; "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…" The first hour of the film is marred by uninspired acting, a lack of chemistry among the stars and a directionless plot. Suddenly and without any foreshadowing, the last 70 minutes come alive and we are treated to one wild ride baby!

     Let’s face it; Gerard Butler is handsomer than Jennifer Aniston is attractive. I have never seen an actress look so tired and this bored with a role before. Did Aniston forget to take a vacation between films, or did she have nightmares this movie would stink that kept her awake at night for days on end? She is by any measure an attractive woman, but the chronically fatigued look does not play to her strong-suit. Meanwhile Butler is clearly on a tear and was given the green light to let it all hang out. His role is that of a madman bounty hunter (Milo Boyd), a former police detective with a broken heart. He lashes out at everyone and everything for his emotional pain and suffering. Aniston meanwhile is his ex-wife Nicole Hurley, a career driven reporter who will go to any length to succeed, including disrupting their marriage. Their paths cross when Hurley chooses to follow a lead in a suicide story rather than attend a court meeting to determine her sentence for grazing a police vehicle of sorts (a horse) while escaping a traffic bottleneck. Predictably Milo volunteers to bring her to justice for a hefty five thousand dollar bounty. Jeff Garlin plays his boss, an overweight curmudgeonly bail bondsman with a "Curb Your Enthusiasm" sense of humor.

     Somehow, after a humorless and painstaking forty minutes, Hurley escapes Milo’s trunk and the handcuffs are off, literally and figuratively. Slowly but surely they regain each other’s trust and begin an investigation into the alleged police suicide. She begins to suspect their mutual friend Bobby (Dorian Missick) is the culprit in the murder-drugs mystery. Frankly, the action is fast and furious and would be recap-able had I brought a notebook to the theater or a forbidden recording device. The highlights are an hilarious chase scene with the lovely disgruntled couple chasing a caddy into a golf pond. Somehow the country club manages to power their carts to at least 25 MPH, an impressive feat for an electric or a gas powered cart. Believe me, that Jackass roster would be proud. They manage to end up in a romantic situation at their honeymoon suite on the way back from a death defying trip to the dilapidated Atlantic City. Unfortunately when they arrive they smell like a sewage system and manage to suspend the magic passion ephemerally on account of her sensitivity and overreaction to guy talk. The humor is mostly provided by the supporting cast which makes Aniston and Butler seem all the more hopeless together.

     The use of Milo’s handcuffs literally handcuff the humor. So much is predictable and the idea of Hurley as a hostage is nonsensical. I will say the image of Jennifer Aniston in a tattoo parlor made me realize how different the over 30 and under thirty generations are. Butler tries to make all hell break loose but in the process he manages to stumble over her phoned in performance. This is a charming romance story, with a nice murder-mystery backdrop. Still, there are too many miscues and slow scenes to leave me with a soporific feeling, that is to say I almost fell asleep several times. The Bounty Hunter is a likeable movie, but it falls under the category of "great looking trailer, disappointing movie". One thumb all the way down for hour one, and one enthusiastic thumb up for the second half. If somehow the directors had realized this and had the courage to erase forty minutes, this would have been a really great picture without dullness and hyperbole. I will take the good with the bad, just as Dickens foretold.

Miscellaneous notes:

Jennifer Aniston has nice legs. Were I a legs guy I would like her more.

Gerard Butler has a wicked laugh for the ages, huhuhuhuhuhhuhuhuhuhuha.

Romantic comedies should be kept under 90 minutes.

Movie screenings should never have ten previews before the show starts.
