| Overnight (Tony Montana and Mark Brian Smith, 2003)
If there is one thing that this movie conclusively proves, it's that you can be right and still be a jerk. Overnight is a documentary about the rise and fall of Troy Duffy, the writer and director of indie smash hit The Boondock Saints. Duffy's script was originally optioned by Harvey Weinstein, and Miramax were slated to finance and release the picture; the trials and tribulations of getting the picture made after Weinstein bailed are the stuff of Hollywood legend. Montana and Smith were there the whole way, charting the fascinating story of The Boondock Saints and Duffy's band, The Brood, who landed a deal with Atlantic for the soundtrack. While much of the blame for the shenanigans here can be placed solely on the head of Harvey Weinstein, there's no denying that Duffy, in many ways, made his own bed. There's nothing here that shows him as a very likable guy, even though the statements he makes throughout the documentary about the quality of both The Boondock Saints and its soundtrack are dead-on; the man simply has no tact whatsoever. Combine that with a hair-trigger temper, and it's pretty easy to see why no one in Hollywood wanted to work with him, even once he had a brilliant film in the can. (The filmmakers do insinuate, though, that Duffy's charge that Weinstein blacklisted him in Hollywood is not unwarranted.) Once again, we learn the lesson that art cannot overcome politics, at least not in Hollywood. This is a must-watch for any Boondock Saints fan, especially those of us who have been wondering why Diffy has been having such a hard time getting financing for All Saints' Day. Now, unfortunately, we have an answer. **** |
