Movies that feel likeThe Bounty Hunter (2010)

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.

If you loved The Bounty Hunter, the closest films we have are The Fall Guy (2024), Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) and Definitely, Maybe (2008). All three share The Bounty Hunter's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Obvious Child (2014).
