Review of Bounty

Law & Order: Bounty (2003)
Season 14, Episode 2
1/10
Not what I expected from "Bounty"
24 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The writers and producers swung and missed badly on this episode. It wasn't enough that a man tracking a fugitive rapist was murdered and it stemmed from a reporter publishing a story based on a fake interview with the fugitive but the reporter's murder trial is about affirmative action?!?! What about the murder?! What about bringing the fugitive to justice? The latter would fit the title of the episode! I don't really buy that a bounty hunter would ask the person he is blackmailing to meet at his hotel room or that the reporter would be OK with it (the bounty hunter will likely be armed). I definitely don't buy that the bounty hunter would have his guard down while blackmailing the reporter or that the reporter would win a fight between the two. I also don't buy that the bounty hunter would keep his gun in a drawer for such a meeting. The murder isn't believable but the saving grace aside from convicting the killer would be bringing the fugitive to justice. It is so preposterous.
