What’s it all about: Daniela Vega’s boyfriend talks a good game about taking her to a luxury spa for her birthday, but you know how some guys are all talk. 

First Encounter: first viewing 

Prostitute Index: nil 

Death By: staircase

Relics: paper tickets, assault with scotch tape

Heartthrob: Daniela Vega

Worth a watch/rewatch: Yes
