Review of Overnight (2003) by Aidan H — 11 Nov 2009
More than just a cautionary tale for anyone who wants to get into the filming business. No, it's much more than that. It reveals, without question, one undeniable fact: Troy Duffy is a jackass who happened to make a cool movie about ten years ago.
Put aside his constant 'I'm so awesome!' and 'The world has been waiting for me!' garbage that made me want to vomit. The way this guy, a grown man, speaks to everyone is pathetic. He curses like hell to anyone and everyone, even his own mother. It's sad that Duffy chooses to behave like such an idiot since Boondock Saints is a great movie and leading up to making it, Harvey Weinstein (one of the most powerful men in Hollyweird) absolutely screwed him over as Hollyweirders do, but Duffy certainly did some self-screwing as well and it's always his attitude that does it. I know in a documentary you can make anyone look foolish through editing tricks, Michael Moore does it all the time, but in Overnight it's not editing. That's simply how Duffy is and it's clear.
Hope the sequel to Boondock Saints can live up to the original.
