Genre:
Milo Boyd, a down-on-his-luck bounty hunter, gets his dream job when he is assigned to track down his bail-jumping ex-wife, reporter Nicole Hurly. He thinks all that's ahead is an easy payday, but when Nicole gives him the slip so she can chase a lead on a murder cover-up, Milo realizes that nothing ever goes simply with him and Nicole. The exes continually one-up each other -- until they find themselves on the run for their lives. They thought their promise to love, honor and obey was tough -- staying alive is going to be a whole lot tougher.

Movies.ie Critic Review
Both Butler and Aniston play to their stereotypes here, as exemplified by the money shot of the burly Glaswegian bungling the feisty Californian into the trunk of a Mustang. That's pretty much the entire film right there.
The reason Butler's eponymous bounty hunter Milo Boyd bungles Aniston's Nicole Hurly into the trunk of his car is not simply because the woman happens to be his ex-wife. Nicole also just happens to be Milo's latest target, and no amount of left-over love or efforts of rekindling their romance is going to stop him from bringing her in. Well, that's the idea, anyway.
THE VERDICT: Think Midnight Run meets Mr. & Mrs. Smith. With maybe a dollop of It Happened One Night, The Odd Couple andPlanes, Trains & Autommobiles. Only nowhere near as funny, or smart, as any of those. Not even Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
