Review of Goon (2012) by Jenny W — 31 Dec 2012
Goon is a fascinating film staring a sweet, half-witted guy finding his talent in life. There is just enough violence to provide a closer look into the gruesome nature of hockey fights, yet not too much as to become gratuitous.
The characters are all flawed individuals who seem to come to come to terms with their issues (with a few exceptions) in a realistic fashion. The overall visuals are striking, even if the slow motion is a bit abused at points.
As a whole, this film is close to flawless and makes one want to punch whoever made the lockout decision in the face.
