Let’s get this out of the way: The Bounty Hunter isn’t perfect. And I’m okay with that. Perfection is a moving target—subjective, slippery, and frankly, kind of boring. What I wrote instead was a raw, character-driven survival story that bruises the heart, dares to be quiet in a loud genre, and lets love rise not like fireworks, but like a slow sunrise.
