The film has a singularity of tone that becomes its most defining characteristic. One night while delivering a pizza, Rylee ends up at Jesse’s doorstep, her former boyfriend who has moved houses since the end of their relationship. If this was not uncomfortable enough, her car gets broken into, with her wallet and crucial items stolen. 

As Jesse and Rylee come together to go on a wild goose chase based on evidence they have gathered from the site of theft, the film not only presents a story of suspense but also a personal emotional journey the two undertake vis-a-vis their relationship. While there is chemistry and suggestion of romance in the narrative, there is also intrigue and adventure. Not all aspects of the film take themselves too seriously, and that seems to be a deliberate choice within the realm of the detective story. The end result, albeit not without a few snags in terms of production, presents a completed trajectory of the two characters, and how the chaos around them ensures this completion.

The first glance into the world of 'Good Intentions' might lead one to expect the humor and banter of a buddy film, and the initial moments might perhaps only serve to strengthen this expectation. However, the narrative has very different plans up its sleeve, as it soon progresses to reveal. 

 After breaking into a house, Charlie and David are in a rush to complete the task at hand and head out, and yet, something stops them in their tracks. When they stumble across an unlikely inhabitant, found under the most strange circumstances, they know they are now embroiled in a scenario beyond the point of no return. As events unfold, the plot covers an entire spectrum of emotional states - from humor, and moral dilemmas to stress, thrill and suspense. 

 All of them are eventually building to the final reveal, and when it finally arrives, it does indeed tie all the aspects of the plot together, but would it also carry forth an equally neat conclusion for the characters as well? The question is raised and answered, while the film condenses several falling pieces into a few minutes of high tension, attempting to engage the viewer throughout as it presents to them the misadventures of the duo.
