The irrepressible tone of mordant giggliness this movie hits so often is entirely its own, keeping the movie buoyant throughout its over two-hour running time.

Just droll, twisty, and stylish enough to forgive this 136-minute film for using a lot more runway than it needs to be airborne, "Good News" is a veritable caricature of middle-management.

Energetic and astutely paced as it is, this tale simply goes on longer than maximum viewer involvement can withstand, its buoyancy eventually deflating somewhat. Still, too much of a good thing is better than none.

Though much of Good News is fictional, the film flips the script, retelling a true-life story with dashes of action, humor, and thrills.

Good News is a dark, satirical gem on Netflix. The lead, 'Mr. Nobody,' is brilliant—playing the fool while outsmarting everyone. It balances violence with genuine hilarity perfectly, even in a confined plane setting. An engaging film you shouldn't miss.

It’s an intentionally silly ride, with equally silly visual effects that leave much to be desired.

This movie was an unusual mix of silly and serious with a big dose of absurd on top. I thought it was a bit too long and Lorna appreciated the humor more than I did.

Good News can be considered as a political satire as it weaves through the minds of the political persons and the head of the organizations. Comedy worked out really well. in terms of performances, Hong Kyung and Sul Kyung-gu did their parts very well.

Satire comedic gold. [The truth can sometimes exist on the far side of the moon, but that doesn’t mean the near side is a lie.] Solid 10/10 i must say!

Loved this little black dramedy. Great but too short cameo by Park HS.
