Tagline: The pursuit begins Spring 2010

Plot: A bounty hunter learns that his next target is his ex-wife, a reporter working on a murder cover-up. Soon after their reunion, the always-at-odds duo find themselves on a run-for-their-lives adventure.

THE BUZZ: The first trailer for this “high-concept comedy” hit the Internet with a thud. Sadly, The Bounty Hunter looks to be kind of mainstream fare that could have been made by either Jennifer Aniston or Gerard Butler at the beginning of their respective careers — but now? It feels like safe and mid-range entertainment. I can understand it if Gerard Butler and his handlers are trying to find a balance between action flicks and romantic comedies, but all they really need to do is re-watch The Ugly Truth to realize the genre does not suit him. I’m surprised Butler isn’t holding a gun over his anatomy in the poster. Speaking of the poster, where is Jennifer Aniston’s left hip?
