Fun film starring Katherine Heigl, as the heroine bond bailsman from the Janet Evanovich bestselling book series. Heigl gets the job of bringing in a murder suspect played by Jason O'Mara, with whom she has a prior grudge, but finds a lot more danger and excitement than she had bargained for. Heigl, whom I never thought much of as an actress, is actually pretty good in this role. I’ve had a crush on Jason O’Mara since his cancelled TV show Life on Mars, so of course I liked this film. Also costarring is Daniel Sunjata as a fellow bondsman whom she describes as “Michelangelo’s David dipped in caramel” and I have to agree. All kidding aside, I never read the book, but the movie is very fun and enjoyable.
