One for the Money
A down‑on‑her‑luck lingerie buyer teams up with a reluctant bail bondsman to become a rookie bounty hunter, determined to capture the murderous ex‑cop who shattered her heart—before he slips away for good.
“She's looking for a few not-so-good men”
Synopsis
An unemployed lingerie buyer convinces her cousin, a bail bondsman, to give her a chance as a bounty hunter. Her first assignment is to track down a former police officer who is now a fugitive wanted for murder—the same man who had broken her heart years earlier. With the help of some friends and the best bounty hunter in the business, she gradually learns the skills and determination required to become a true bounty hunter.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 35
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.9× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
