Goon starring  Seann William Scott Was surprisingly good. The movie also stars Alison Pill who is in the new hbo show The newsroom.  Seann William Scott plays a guy who isn’t like most of his other characters he plays, (a fast talking jerk) in fact he is a man of few words. He plays a guy who isnt to bright, always stumbling on what to say. But on the other hand he his a fighter with hard hands and a hard head who gets a chance to show his skills on the ice. No he doesnt show off by hitting a puck but by hitting his opponents face.

The action is fun to watch the comedy  side was fun as well but also the movie has some heart making you feel for Seann William Scott. The fight aftermath effects were pretty cool  with blood spilling teeth flying and cuts across the face. Seann William Scott character gets pretty beat up and his face is just a wreck …I loved that.

I would say Seann William Scott fits the roll pretty good and would like to see more serious films by him. You don’t have to be a hockey fan to enjoy the film,most of the movie was more on the fight aspect of hocky istead of the game itself. Some things I didn’t like too much was Jay Baruchel who I feel played it over the top and didn’t like the charictor to much. You Can say he was annoying

I give this film a good rating  because I came in thinking the movie would be dumb but was surprised. It had good action, funny moments but not funny all the way through, and Sean William Scott Played the character pretty well even though his movie lines were minimal. The movie has its pros and cons and some may not like the movie but im on the other end I enjoyed it and if you don’t want to buy it and if you have Netflix (as of 8-4-12) then go check it out.

I give this film a 4 out 5.
