I just watched the movie "Goon" which was released last year and is currently streaming on netflix, Sean William Scott plays the main character, a bouncer who impresses a farm league hockey coach with his ass kicking abilities.  He is then recruited to play hockey for the purpose of acting as an enforcer, a player who's primary purpose is to beat up opposing team members. This film is a hard R with alot of bad language and sexual content and some pretty brutal violence despite the fact that nobody dies.

I really enjoyed this movie, Sean William Scott does a good job portraying a really nice and likeable guy who just happens to be good at beating the tar out of people. The dialogue is simple and sometimes wooden but the fights are really entertaining and the acting is above average most of the time.  I thought the score was put together quite nicely as well. I gave it a 5/5 on netflix however its really more of a 4.5 still a great movie if you like hockey movies, or if you like raunchy comedies.





Goon has a 6.9 at IMDB and an impressive 83% at rotten tomatoes.
