This movie was somewhat entertaining, but the story line seems like it was written by some guy who is recently got dumped, and is day dreaming of a way out.
The climax of the movie is the main character, Raúl, literally paying money to sell her into sex trafficking. I know some people might say that "Raúl didn't know if they were good or bad people, but he was trying to do the right thing." - that is a pretty flaccid counter, honestly. He went back, after realizing the mistake he made, and was banging on the door for several minutes. If they were good people, she could have easily walked out of the house. They forced her to stay in the house, because they were going to sell her into sex slavery. It is at this moment that Raúl should have called the police. Being detained in a foreign country because you lack a proper visa is much better than being a sex slave, trust me.
Also, not to mention, this whole movie is about how he wasn't able to let go of the girl that dumped him, probably because he is too nice and not very bright. The guy didn't even have sheets on his bed, what a bum, no wonder she dumped him. She wanted to get away from him so fast that she left her belongings at his house and then travelled 5851 miles.
The "turning point" of the movie is when he feels so much remorse for what he did that he finally cleans up his ex girlfriend's belongings and gives them to her mother. Great work. This movie goes to show you that if you are very dumb, you might accidentally pay money to put somebody into sex slavery.
In the end, she finally "escapes" (literally just gets out of the car at a stop and runs away, really intricate stuff here) and then somehow is able to find Raúl's work in a city that she is unfamiliar with and doesn't speak the language... even though they had to take a bus to get to the place she was dropped off. It seems like they wrote a beautiful story (which it starts out as, I must admit) and then forgot that a good story has an ending.
Meanwhile, Raúl quits his job so that he can go sit on the bench where he first met Liam and mope about the fact that he inadvertently paid money to give someone into sex slavery. What kind of logic is that? What was he planning on doing? Does this man not have any friends that he can talk to, who could possibly talk some sense into him? What about his family? Do they know this inept man is out there, almost ruining people's lives? Surely Mrs. Azucena tried to talk some sense into him. Or perhaps she let him go, realizing how dangerous someone with that level of stupidity is, especially in a hardware store.
Anyways, she finally finds his shop, realizes he was not working there any longer, and the movie ends with them catching eyes and walking towards each other. Who writes this stuff? Why would the writer think that Liam would forgive this man, instead of fearing his idiocy? The movie is really only concerned with poor Raúl's feelings, shame.
