Voilant, crud & high octane

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 2012)

Goon – CATCH IT (B+) Goon is based upon the autobiography Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey by retired ice hockey enforcer Doug Smith. Goon is a high octane Canadian movie and it literally gives you an adrenaline rush. The gore, violence, crud humor and scary ice hockey is screaming for it to be an ultimate boys flick. Sean William Scott as outcast innocent yet crazy headed bouncer becomes ice hockey enforcer is great. He really buffed up and seemed like work really hard to keep him it undertone. French/Canadian actor Marc-André Grondin is simply superb. His hot headed jerk performance makes me watch his previous French movies. Jay Baruchel is same obnoxious. Alison Pill is sweet. Liev Schreiber is great as enforcer though he doesn't have much screen time but he does his part well. Overall, Goon is a great sports movie with lots of fights, violence, crud behaviors and everything a manly sports movie should have. I loved it!
