  • Starring: Troy Duffy
  • Summary: This documentary look at the rise and fall of filmmaker Troy Duffy (The Boondock Saints) is a stunning, often hilarious look at how, even in the shark-infested waters of moviemaking, one?s teeth can be too sharp. (Film Forum)

    A hilarious and harrowing cautionary tale.

    His story is instructive, as well as chilling and occasionally hilarious -- a brief, probably foredoomed career during which a would-be Orson Welles, playing shamelessly to the camera, draws from a bottomless cesspool of hubris, bile and rage.

    The thin line between self-esteem and hubris is explored in this cautionary tale.

    There's a stunning rags-to-rags morality tale hidden in this two-hour mess of a movie.

    One of the best documentaries ever made! Tony Montana and Mark Brian Smith told a story that makes "Hearts of Darkness" look like an "AfterSchool Special". Tony is hot, by the way!… Expand

    While entertaining, I wouldn't call Overnight a documentary, but Montana and Smith's obvious revenge. There's no doubt that Duffy was/is a terrible person to work for, but to pretend that Overnight is an unbiased look at Duffy's personality is just as delusional as Duffy was acting in this film. People who hated The Boondock Saints, and couldn't understand its cult status, use Overnight as some sort of rallying point for their cause, while people who have actually worked with Duffy (and rightfully can't stand him), point to Overnight and say, "See? This is what it was like." Yet, no one wants to discuss just how flawed and obviously-biased Overnight is, and how it's entire point (despite the poor claims to the contrary) is to smear Duffy across the floor.… Expand
