Second viewing; first viewed on October 27, 1991
A bounty hunter is hired by a bail bonds company to find a man and bring him to Los Angeles to serve time. The bail jumper is an accountant who stole money from his mafioso employer and gave it to charity.
Consistently entertaining comedy, whose limitations nevertheless became more apparent on this second viewing. The interesting thing about it is how it performs a balancing act between multiple -- and at times colliding -- ethics: of resourcefulness, of integrity, of flexibility. This is not always convincingly resolved.
