Storyline
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.

Factual errors:
Milo says the stun gun shocked him at 250 volts, which is too weak to shock him unconscious. Stun gun charges are over 10000 volts.

Are you trying to seduce me?

What's the hottest thing about me? That would be my gun.

User Review

I waited weeks for this?

Rating: 5/10


I was excited when I first saw the previews of this movie. I am a HUGE
Gerard Butler fan and I don't believe he's ever done a movie with Ms
Anniston. The concept was fair enough…a romantic comedy with a little
suspense thrown in. I left the theater feeling…"that's it?" Sure
there were a couple cute things here and there, maybe a little
suspense, but definitely not enough to carry a movie! The pace was much
too slow for me, although I'm sure the actors did what they could with
the script they were given. I loved seeing Gerard in Law Abiding
Citizen, but this was truly disappointing! I am a big movie fan, but I
wouldn't recommend seeing this to any of my friends 🙁
