Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEx-cop and former Fox TV news reporter Mike Sheehan appears as the desk sergeant in this film. Mr. Sheehan was arrested in March 2009 for hitting a mounted policeman with his car. This was the same charge that Nicole Hurley, Jennifer Aniston's character, was charged with.
- GoofsMilo states that when cases don't go to trial nothing happens to the evidence. While this is true with most items, drugs are not left in evidence warehouses, they are instead incinerated.
Unless they are stolen from the evidence room first.
- Quotes
[calling Milo from inside his car's trunk]
Nicole Hurley: Milo, please, you have got to let me out of here.
Milo Boyd: Hmm... nope!
Nicole Hurley: All right, I shouldn't have run away, you just caught me off guard. And the truth is, I think I might need your advice on something.
Milo Boyd: Well, that's a real shame. Because I wouldn't help you if you were the last baby sea turtle dragging your little, tiny body across the burning sand whilst hungry seagulls circled overhead. No, I'd just pull up a chair, sip a pina colada and watch nature take its course.

It seemed like a toned down version of "Mr and Mrs Smith", except for lacking the comedy and in-you-face presence. Sure, the story in "The Bounty Hunter" was alright, it had enough action scenes and enough romance in it to keep most pleased, but it seriously lacked comedy. I, for one, had expected more laughs out of the movie.
Anyway, the cast and their performances were top notch. Good to see Butler in a role like this, to show his diversity as an actor.
Halfway through the movie I started to do other stuff while the movie kept on playing, it became that uninteresting actually.
But I am sure for fans of Butler and Aniston, then this movie is a must see. Personally, I didn't find it all that interesting though. For me, there are better and more compelling movies out there at the moment.
Sadly, I have to rate this movie as a flat 5 out of 10.
