Review of Goon (2012) by Sol C — 02 Mar 2013
This film took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting much after seeing the trailer. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the film. It is really good. The film is not like Slap Shot. It reminded me more of Bad Santa and a little bit of Major League or Necessary Roughness.
Sean William Scott shines here as Doug Glatt. Liev Schreiber is good here too. There is a great build up between the showdown between Liev and Sean. Marc Andre Grondin was good too. I liked Eugene Levy here. Nice American Pie reunion with him and Scott in the picture. Alison Pill is great as Eva. She has a great on screen chemistry with Scott.
I definitely recommend this film.
