I liked the first half of the movie, as the beleaguered hero quits his old life and starts afresh; this was well done, and you could sympathise with his motives for taking this way out.
But I think it began to run out of steam in the second half of the movie. I was hoping for some clever plotting when Sergio returned to his previous home to find out how his wife and children were doing, but nothing much happened, and the ending was a bit up in the air. I think there should definitely have been less focus on Sergio setting up his new life, and more time spent on what happened when he went back home.
I also didn't understand why he appeared to have aged about 30 years in the 15/16 years he'd been away, while both his wife and girlfriend looked exactly the same. Couldn't they have at least given these ladies different hairstyles or something, to age them a bit?
Entertaining movie, but could have been much better, in my opinion.
