Good People is not a film to be taken too serious or to have high expectations. The film didn't manage to have a wide US release date in theaters but then it managed to make its rounds in foreign countries, and limited release revenues. The film starts out well, and starts to pick up when the main plot is put in place- the couple of Tom and Anne (James Franco & Kate Hudson) discover their tenant renting their basement has died, and they eventually discover large sums of cash. At this point, we start to realize how the film will go and turn out, but howeever within this there lies many possibilities which the film could have taken, though it seemed to struggle down towards the end.
Good People is a fun light hearted crime thriller, and includes several twists and turns along the way. For a film such as this, its serves it purpose, it could have been better with a better plot, more developed characters, a better and less predictable ending, but for what it was it was entertaining for a solid run time film. What makes the film worth watching is the wonderful scenery and the chemistry between James Franco and Kate Hudson, there are also several scenes of unintentionally comedy towards the last 30 or so minutes which are worth while.
