Goon

92 min 2012

Some people are born for the spotlight; Doug Glatt was born for the penalty box. This lovable bouncer from Massachusetts discovers his true calling isn’t protecting a bar door, but protecting his team’s star player with his fists. Recruited as the enforcer for a struggling minor league hockey team, Doug becomes the Goon whose sole purpose is to bring the pain and keep his teammates safe. Set against the gritty, brutal world of semi-pro hockey, the 2012 sports comedy Goon is a surprisingly heartfelt story about finding where you belong. While packed with bone-crunching fights and raunchy locker room humor, the film’s core is an underdog tale about an incredibly kind man in an exceptionally violent job. It explores themes of loyalty, purpose, and the strange honor found in a role others see as mindless. Viewers should watch Goon for its perfect blend of hysterical comedy and genuine emotion, anchored by a performance that makes you cheer for the toughest guy on the ice. It’s a foul-mouthed, bloody, and ultimately beautiful tribute to the heart of a hockey enforcer.
