Review of Goon (2012) by John Semley for AV Club — 28 Mar 2012
Where George Roy Hill's "Slap Shot," the former reigning champ of the narrow hockey-film canon, descends into anticlimactic late-game zaniness, Goon fully commits to its theme of violence for violence's sake.
It's "Paper Lion" by way of Sam Peckinpah.
