Goon Squad

About This Movie

Goon Squad dives into the gritty world of a retired all-female heist crew, bringing a raw, almost nostalgic vibe as they reunite after 16 years. The tension is palpable from the start; you feel the weight of their past mistakes and the friendships that have weathered time. The pacing is deliberate, reflecting their internal struggles and the complexities of their shared history. The performances are striking, especially from the lead who brings a depth that resonates well with the themes of loyalty and redemption. And while the film employs practical effects for heightened realism in their heist sequences, it’s really the character dynamics that shine. There's something distinct about how it weaves humor with drama without losing its edge.
