ActionComedyRomance

Milo Boyd, a down-on-his-luck bounty hunter, thinks he's seeing an upswing in fortune when he gets a call to bring in his bail-jumping ex-wife, a reporter named Nicole. Milo considers the job an easy payday, but Nicole quickly escapes to chase a lead on a murder case. The former spouses play an escalating game of one-upmanship, until they suddenly find themselves on the run for their lives.

This is a high-octane, laugh-out-loud romp fueled by the electric, bickering chemistry of its leads. Expect a relentless chase sequence peppered with witty banter and a playfully antagonistic romance. It’s a feel-good, popcorn-ready experience that never takes itself too seriously.
