Production

The film is a Milú Films, Castafiore Films, and Tornasol Films production. Shooting locations included the Ciudad de la Luz studio in Alicante as well as the province of A Coruña, Galicia.

Release

Alta Films acquired distribution rights in Spain from Latido Films. The film was presented at the 12th Málaga Film Festival on 19 April 2009. It was released theatrically in Spain on 30 April 2009.

Reception

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.

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.

Irene Crespo of Cinemanía rated the film 2½ out of 5 stars, underscoring it to be "a correct psychological thriller corroded by guilt".
