The plot explores the moral dilemma experienced by staunchly Conservative law lecturer Vicente (close to getting a chair) as he witnesses colleague, professor, close friend and father figure Fernando killing her wife Paula in cold blood.[1][2][3][4]
The film is a Milú Films, Castafiore Films, and Tornasol Films production.[6] Shooting locations included the Ciudad de la Luz studio in Alicante as well as the province of A Coruña, Galicia.[7][8][5]
Alta Films acquired distribution rights in Spain from Latido Films.[9] The film was presented at the 12th Málaga Film Festival on 19 April 2009.[10][2][11] It was released theatrically in Spain on 30 April 2009.[1]
Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 1 out of 5 stars, citing an awful writing with "laughable" situations as the worst thing about the film, while singling out Ulloa's performance (a career's best) as a positive element.[12]
Javier Ocaña of El País deemed A Good Man to be a "failed" film, which despite a first hour "described with a certain verisimilitude, enhanced by the good work of the [actors playing the] four main characters" ends ups falling apart, featuring a nonsensical scene under the rain.[13]
Irene Crespo of Cinemanía rated the film 2½ out of 5 stars, underscoring it to be "a correct psychological thriller corroded by guilt".[1]
