Overnight

[Keef Monkey]

A few years old this, anyone seen it? Saw it this weekend and found it pretty fascinating, if a cringe to watch at times. It's a documentary about Troy Duffy, a barman who gets a massive Hollywood deal from the Weinsteins to make The Boondock Saints, and it's basically the story of how his massive ego and attitude towards the people around him destroyed it all. It's a bit uneven (it seems like there's chunks of "story" missing here and there), but it's quite absorbing watching him get what's coming to him.

A bit like Dig! but for movies, although Dig! is pretty funny throughout because the people involved are so ridiculous, this guy doesn't even have that going for him. A lot of people say the film's a hatchet job and he's not that bad, but either way it makes for a good watch.
