The Hitman's Bodyguard, The Nile Hilton Incident, The Teacher, Home Again, California Typewriter, Goon: Last of the Enforcers

Quick capsules on a nothing-special start to September:

Goon

The “Slap Shot” wannabe hockey comedy “Goon” stars the always-likable Seann William Scott as Doug Glatt, a bouncer who becomes the enforcer and unwitting hero of the minor-league Halifax Highlanders. Doug’s annoying best friend is played by Jay Baruchel, the movie’s co-writer, whose screen presence lacks any heft or appeal. Liev Schreiber channels Danny McBride as Ross Rhea, the most famous enforcer in the league, with whom Doug inevitably collides late in the season.
