Goon 2012 ★★★★

Watched Jul 07, 2012

[AVC A-, hockey] The first ten minutes I was pretty skeptical. Then the constant barrage of sex jokes wore me down and I found them funny. And the violence started. There were a lot of funny moments. The drama wasn’t that bad. The comedy did slow down a bunch toward the end. I didn’t love the fight at the end with the ankle and the three attempts. I also didn’t quite buy the girl falling for the duffus that Doug is. Alison Pill though, she was impressive considering her past work. I never liked her much in things like Scott pilgrim, but I really liked her here. Oh and Liev Schreiber was very good and treated as an interesting character.
