Good received a mixed reception from critics. While some praised its stylish direction and a commanding central performance, others found the plot convoluted and lacking in emotional depth. Audiences were similarly divided, with some appreciating its suspenseful nature and others finding it unsatisfying.

• Praised for its atmospheric tension and visual flair.
