Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In which Jennifer Aniston continues to display her remarkable knack for choosing the lamest comedy vehicles on the road.
This time, she plays a crime reporter who's being taken to jail by her ex-husband Gerard Butler, a cop-turned-bounty hunter. The set-up invites us to speculate as to why the couple split up (easy: he's oafish, has repellent manners, and steals from her) and whether adversity will reignite their dormant spark (also easy, though natural justice should make it impossible). Butler, currently a Hollywood favourite, has no obvious talent for romance or comedy, and he makes Robert De Niro's bounty hunter in Midnight Run seem a regular charmer in comparison. Aniston leans on her usual unlucky-in-love schtick and lets her hair do most of the acting.
