Goon: Last of the Enforcers

• Comedy

Amidst the chaos of a professional hockey lockout, aging enforcer Doug “The Thug” Glatt faces a pivotal collision between two worlds: the brutal, bone-crushing reality of on-ice brawling and the tender vulnerability of impending fatherhood. When a relentlessly aggressive new player threatens the league’s fragile peace—and Doug’s livelihood—he’s forced to confront not only a formidable opponent but also his own evolving priorities. This isn't a traditional sports film celebrating victory; it’s a surprisingly heartfelt and often hilarious exploration of a man grappling with a changing identity, the cost of violence, and the uncertain joy of becoming a parent. Jay Baruchel's directorial debut imbues the film with a self-aware charm and a genuine affection for its flawed, rough-around-the-edges protagonist, offering a refreshingly earnest take on masculinity within a hyper-masculine subculture.
