A down-on-his-luck bounty hunter is delighted to learn that his next quarry is his ex-wife, a bail-jumping investigative reporter. This unnecessary and tiresome mishmash simultaneously and blithely gets wrong the romance, comedy and action genres, offering generic dialogue, off-the-shelf adventure sequences and coasting, zero-chemistry stars (Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston can do way better). Not funny, not exciting and way too long. This is bare-minimum, lazy filmmaking at its worst. Plus: Christine Baranski as Jennifer’s mom doing a Joan Rivers impersonation. I don’t have anything else to say.
