Goon: Last of the Enforcers Reviews
It engages in random, albeit funny asides rooted in its foul-mouthed characters, bloody hockey violence, and intentional stupidity. For many, that will be enough to justify this sequel to the 2012 cult favorite, Goon.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 17, 2022
Goon: Last of the Enforcers' main problem is an abundance of go-nowhere plotting.

Baruchel's passion is still present and appreciated, but he's capable of so much more, especially as a first-time feature director. He shoots, but he doesn't quite score.

Seann William Scott is still fun to watch and funny, but the character of Glatt feels like he may have gotten even dumber...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 16, 2020
Goon: The Last of the Enforcers brings together a phenomenal cast, produces many funny-as-hell gags, and continues the spirit of the original - and that's enough to keep you in the game.
| Original Score: B- | Mar 30, 2019
The film is more of the same and we're talking about some significantly diminished returns, but there's some real entertainment value here.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 11, 2019
Pointless, boring, and lacks originality and magic.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 21, 2018
All of the blood from this would-be franchise was left on the ice last time, and each successive punch lands with less and less of an impact.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 31, 2018
Well cast and smartly written, "Goon: Last of the Enforcers" is built on different relationships. Doug and his teammates. Doug and his wife. Anders and his father. They all play a part in the story.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 29, 2017
Beyond a few new faces that briefly enliven the mood, Goon: Last of the Enforcers loses sight of the characters that made the first movie so engaging.

Goon: Last of the Enforcers isn't much of a film, but thanks to its star it's not a complete waste of time.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 18, 2017
It has its hero confront the challenges of being over the hill -- an awkward theme for a movie that itself comes across as a weary, backward-looking project for Seann William Scott and the actor-director Jay Baruchel.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 11, 2017
Still funny, even if it totally lacks the original's element of surprise.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 11, 2017
[An] inane sequel ...
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 10, 2017
The movie makes the most of what it has, which, as it turns out, isn't an awful lot.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 8, 2017
... retains only a fraction of the crude charm and offbeat originality of its predecessor.
| Sep 8, 2017
Nobody lands the one knockout punchline to elevate matters above tolerable mediocrity.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 8, 2017
Last of the Enforcers' real strength is that it doesn't forget Eva, nor does it corner her into a nagging obstacle in the way of Doug's ultimate joy.
| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Sep 8, 2017
Tedious and ultra-violent.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 7, 2017
Gone is the genuine heart, warmth and pathos that made the 2011 original such a wonderfully pleasant surprise, but this unruly sports comedy sequel - written and directed by Jay Baruchel - still delivers on the laughs.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 7, 2017
