Help me find the name of a movie before I lose my shit at snoring H

Been awake now for 3.5 hours. Can’t move to another room. Given up on sleep now so please help me find this movie that won’t escape my head!!

Ive seen it within the last year in sky, possibly a premier but equally could be older!!

I didn’t see it from the beginning but I think the main man was possibly 40’s and just come out of prison. He ends up travelling with a younger woman, not sure if he was like a bounty hunter or why he was with her but I don’t think he was really happy about it. She was younger, 20’s, tall and slim. On the way they went to get her little sister who turned out to be her daughter. She may have killed her step dad at this point.

I can’t remember if they actually get together but he becomes fond of her despite not wanting to but the bad guys catch up with them and kill her, maybe in a bar. Then he carries on bringing up her daughter.

its bugging me what the film is and who the actor is! Please help me!!!

No idea but can I be the first to say LTB if he snores that badly.

Hi! Is it bounty hunter with Jennifer Aniston? It's on Netflix.at the moment, think there is a second movie out too now!

Isthisexpected · 12/04/2023 06:10

PP you're thinking of murder mystery no?

Jennifer Aniston isn't killed off in Bounty Hunter though?

No idea but do get some wax earplugs from Boots! My ex had sleep apnea and the sound of his machine would keep me awake. The earplugs block about 95% of the noise.

It's probably Jason Statham or Gerard Butler. It's always them with the kidnapping, running around nonsense.

From AI:

Based on your description, the movie you might be thinking of is "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" from 2005, directed by and starring Tommy Lee Jones. The movie follows the story of a man named Pete Perkins (Tommy Lee Jones), who sets out on a journey to bury his best friend, Melquiades Estrada, in his hometown in Mexico. Along the way, he encounters a young woman named Rachel (Melissa Leo) and agrees to help her find her daughter, who is in the custody of her abusive husband. During their journey, Rachel is killed by mistake in a bar, and Pete takes it upon himself to raise Rachel's daughter as his own.

Not Bounty Hunter, it’s dark defo not a comedy.

Ive been resisting ear plugs because I don’t like the idea of not being able to hear random house noises. But I’m actually at the end of my tether now. Normally I can go and sleep downstairs but there’s already someone asleep down there!

I can only picture Jason Statham in my head but I don’t think it’s him.

doesnt sound like the Tommy Lee film. Would have helped if I’d seen it from the beginning !

From your description, it sounds exactly like the Tommy Lee Jones film!

ApplesandPares · 12/04/2023 06:31

The Transporter with Jason Statham?

OrchidOrchard · 12/04/2023 06:40

Definitely not the Three Burials one. Tommy Lee Jones is definitely not in it and no transporting a corpse.

its darker and more gritty than The Transporter. I think my description is probably really bad. I don’t really know why he’s with the woman. I think in the past she was a prostitute but he isn’t paying her for sex. It’s like he resents having her there. Maybe they are in the run rather than going somewhere. But they catch them up in the end

Sin City?

ImSweetEnoughDarlin · 12/04/2023 07:00

There's one with Nicholas Cage where he's travelling with a woman and they end up in a shoot out in the desert I think.

OrchidOrchard · 12/04/2023 11:38

Not the Nick Csge one. Ive been all through sky cinema and netflix. I can’t see anything similar

Is Daisy lee cooper in it?

OrchidOrchard · 12/04/2023 12:29

No not her. I feel like the actress (american) is famous but I can’t picture her face. I thought it might be Elle Fanning but I can’t see anything on her IMDB that fits

I also think the main actor is someone I know too

Throwncrumbs · 12/04/2023 12:31

I want to see the Tommy Lee Jones film now!

DontbesuchanarseGlenda · 12/04/2023 12:35

Galveston with Ben Foster? Not seen it for ages but think that was one of the Fanning sisters?

OrchidOrchard · 12/04/2023 13:01

@DontbesuchanarseGlenda fucking hell YESSSSS!!!! I’m going to read the proper description to see what bits I got wrong but I remember his name being Roy. I don’t know how I missed that in IMDB.

thankyou so much!!

@OrchidOrchard
Yay!!! I’ve never got one of these before! Happy to help, sorry that I was unconscious in your true hour of need though 😁

OrchidOrchard · 12/04/2023 13:04

Just read it, had totally forgotten the ending!
