The 2010 comedy action film, The Bounty Hunter explains what you shouldn’t do when you get out of prison. Gerard Butler is Milo Boyd, a former NYPD detective turned bounty hunter tasked with bringing in his ex-wife, Nicole (Jennifer Anniston), after she skips out on bail.
This movie also shows what journalists shouldn’t do if they assault people and then receive a tip on a story. What makes this film super unique is combining two genres that don’t usually go together; comedy and action.
The critics panned The Bounty Hunter but was a commercial success for Sony Pictures. The end box office gross was $136.3 million, not bad for a film that had a budget of $40-45 million to make it.
