Review of Goon (2012) by James R — 21 Jan 2013
A bouncer overcomes long odds to lead a team of under performing misfits to semi-pro hockey glory, by beating the crap out of everything that stands in his way.
It may be overly rowdy and lowbrow, but Seann William Scott delivers a beating heart for the film that's encased within the beatings of many hockey players, making this more than 'Stifler on Ice'. Liev Schreiber delivers a great turn as Ross Rhea, a character who could've been one-note but has a great moment with Doug and somehow, throughout the brutal violence, the film manages to be funny.
