So, 'Un buen novio' is an intriguing mix of comedy and crime, where our young police inspector, kind of bumbling but earnest, finds himself knee-deep in a heist gone wrong. The pacing has this interesting rhythm, swinging between the tension of the investigation and the comedic undertones of his personal life – I mean, who knew a bank robbery could lead to relationship drama? The performances are solid, especially how the inspector balances his professional woes with the chaos of discovering his girlfriend's infidelity. The atmosphere, a blend of light-hearted moments laced with darker themes, sets it apart. Practical effects are minimal, but that adds to the charm, keeping it grounded. It feels like a slice of late 90s cinema that doesn’t try too hard to be anything other than what it is.
