Goon: DVD Review

Goon: DVD Review

Rating: R16
Released by Roadshow Home Entertainment

How much do you like to watch sports films where the protagonists bash the bits out of each other?

Because depending on that answer, hangs your decision on whether you'll love this or not.

Seann William Scott, in an unusually dialled down performance, plays Doug Glatt, a bouncer who's a bit of an embarrassment to his family. So, when he gets a job in the ice hockey leagues, he's destined to become a rising star. That is if he can keep his temper in check.

Packed with profanity and violence, Goon is a real mish mash of a film and to be honest, you have to be in a certain type of mood to watch it. While William Scott is actually not bad in this, there's very little to do except watch the fights and follow what little story there is.

Ultimately, Goon will appeal to those who want a boys' night in and revel in the bloody beatings.
