The megalomaniacal rise and fall of filmmaker
Troy Duffy is chronicled by one-time friends and colleagues in director
Mark Smith's
documentary. The film takes its title from the "overnight success" that befell
Duffy in 1996, when the then-bartender was signed by
Miramax president
Harvey Weinstein to direct his killers-on-a-mission-from-God script
The Boondock Saints.
Smith's cameras follow
Duffy from pre-production -- when he battled with executives over casting and financing decisions -- on through to the lackluster release of the film. What's more,
Duffy expected his relative cinematic success to translate over to his burgeoning
rock band as well -- and the tension created by the presupposed deal caused him to alienate just about everyone involved with both projects. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide
