The flashback structure didn't add anything. What was the point of the girl and her mother on the plane ? Length is OK when you get lyrical or beautiful....
There must be easier ways of killing a prisoner than this ?
Why did Alan wait 14 years before contacting her ?
When "Manuel" and Ellie kiss, she enjoys it, there is pause, then she recognizes him as Alan. So she'd kiss any stranger who declares he loves her ?
[Re the earlier comment about Javier's changing position - clearly Javier was only ever suited to being a henchman. Alan's "banking skills" enabled him to rise in power.]
