Critics Consensus

Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston remain as attractive as ever, but The Bounty Hunter's formula script doesn't know what to do with them -- or the audience's attention.

David Denby

The New Yorker

Even considered as no more than an assembly-line Hollywood product, The Bounty Hunter falls well below factory standards.

There's so little chemistry between the two, they might as well have cast Mick Fleetwood and Samantha Fox and had done with it.

Rated: 2/4

You know it's bad when a caper comedy makes you long for the Goldie Hawn-Chevy Chase showcases of yore...

Deep Focus Review

Here’s an actionized rom-com that isn’t action-packed, contains no believable romance, and isn’t particularly funny.

Rated: 1/4

Caution Spoilers

Overlong, trope-filled and derivative, there’s still an endearing charm to Milo’s puppyish dimwittery — and it boasts a proper movie villain, who with his chiselled cheekbones and air of real menace looks like an evil Max Headroom (ask your A.I. nan)

Rated: 2.5/5

The Bounty Hunter (2010) a crazy story of a guy who works in the bounty hunting business, he goes in search of his ex-wife to hand her over to the police. The synopsis of this movie is pretty stupid but it might please some people.

The Bounty Hunter is just a Lousy generic film with lazy writing, cheap acting, a weak story and even when the action tries to be interesting & intense it just feels boring & pathetic. it just feels boring & uninspiring. I recommend just skipping this film entirely because this nothing more than a waste of time.
