Critics Consensus

Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston remain as attractive as ever, but The Bounty Hunter's formula script doesn't know what to do with them -- or the audience's attention.

Ciaran S The Bounty Hunter is just a Lousy generic film with lazy writing, cheap acting, a weak story and even when the action tries to be interesting & intense it just feels boring & pathetic. it just feels boring & uninspiring. I recommend just skipping this film entirely because this nothing more than a waste of time.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review Laura L It's Saturday. And this morning, I was drinking my coffee watching this movie and had a great laugh - a truly healthy laugh! The story is beautiful, the actors and the music are great, and the dialogue is vivid and funny. The entire movie is entertaining for all ages, anytime! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/23 Full Review Lucas G Definitely not good, but I enjoyed it more than I expected. Jenny and Gerard brought enough make for a couple good laughs Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny rainy day movie. I had fun watching it. Not amazing but the cast is good and there are some unexpected parts. Butler has been better in full action movies but still all around good.
