Seann William Scott Is Utterly Terrific!

Rating: 7/10 (19 September 2012)

'Goon' boasts one of Seann William Scott's best performances to date. Cast as an outcast who achieves greatness in the hockey world, Scott is utterly terrific in his portrayal. His performance alone, is worth giving this film a look.
'Goon' Synopsis: Labeled an outcast by his brainy family, a bouncer overcomes long odds to lead a team of under performing misfits to semi-pro hockey glory, beating the crap out of everything that stands in his way.
'Goon' has merits. The film is nicely written & efficiently executed. I credit Jay Baruchel & Evan Goldberg's Screenplay. It blends well & gives a terrific opportunity for Scott to deliver so strongly. Michael Dowse's Direction is appropriate.
Scott is truly worth mentioning again and again. He takes a very believable turn & is in top form! Another memorable performance comes from Live Schreiber, he's really good.
On the whole, 'Goon' is mostly a performance driven film.
