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.
PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"The fact that a movie as harsh and despicable as 'Goon' can be promoted as a comedy says terrible things about the state of the American film industry" (Colin Covert: Minneapolis Star Tribune ) ----------------------------------------
"Brutal, bloody and presided over by a portrait of Her Majesty the Queen, the Canadian ice hockey in this movie is a cross between 'Rollerball' and a prison riot (...) Rating: *** (out of five)" (Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian) ----------------------------------------
"What's somewhat surprising is you don't have to give a hoot about hockey to enjoy the movie. This is just a guy living his dream: Hitting people" (Stephen Holden: The New York Times) ----------------------------------------
