It's a new day for the Halifax Highlanders. A pro lockout has reunited old teammates and brought a crew of new players to the bench; notably missing from the line-up, however, is everyone's favourite enforcer and heart of the team, Doug "The Thug" Glatt. Sidelined after one too many hits and now married with a baby on the way, Doug is hanging up his skates and settling into life as an insurance salesman. But when Doug's nemesis, Anders Cain, is made captain of the Highlanders and new ownership threatens to tear his team apart, Doug is compelled back into action. Ignoring the wishes of wife Eva, Doug heads to the rink, discovering an unlikely training partner in fellow retired enforcer and one-time arch rival, Ross "The Boss" Rhea. Together with grit, passion and unrivaled loyalty, they will grind out one last chance to do what they do best...protect their team.
Leave your thoughts about Goon: Last of the Enforcers.
| The Patriot LedgerDana BarbutoIf you like vicious no-holds-barred hockey fights, then this one is for you. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordThere are no real surprises in Jay Baruchel's directing debut but the familiar and likable cast of characters and lots of (violent and bloody) hockey action help "Goon 2" stand on its own. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordBaruchel's not as adept as his predecessor at staging extreme on ice violence for laughs, this time around much of it coming across as flinch inducing brutality, but he stages some great on ice action and most of the laughs land... |
| IGN MoviesWilliam BibbianiGoon: Last of the Enforcers is the rare great sports movie sequel. |
| Film Journal InternationalEdward DouglasAfter a summer full of disappointing sequels, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that we're getting yet another. |
| FilmDrunkVincent ManciniAll of the visceral, easygoing realism of the original is out, replaced by try-hard joke attempts and manic storytelling so convoluted that the only thing communicated is a general sense of desperation. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)The movie works better than any comedy with this many nosebleeds has a right to. |
| New England Movies WeeklySean BurnsLike most comedy sequels, it assumes audiences want a louder and more outrageous version of what they enjoyed last time. And like most comedy sequels, it's pretty lousy. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThis sequel fails to score the hoped-for goal...when Doug Glatt hangs up his skates again as it ends, one can only hope that this time it's for good. |
| NerdistScott WeinbergSo while this one might not feel quite as exciting as discovering a new sports comedy classic, there's always something to be said for a sequel that captures the spirit of the original and forges some new ground of its own. |
