Movie Reviews of OvernightMovie Review: A great example of emotional and accurate perspective. Summary: 5 Stars
The directors of this documentary have every reason to make this film and take out all of the good things that Troy Duffy, did for them, but they didn't. They show him in his confident, no frills best to show just how disappointing and sad it is that he never had an ounce of humility in his body. You see Duffy making great music, you see Duffy getting along famously with his friends, you see him making his one claim to fame, Boondock Saints (which isn't a work of genius in anyone's mind, but entertaining on a basic level). What Troy would have you believe and what the filmmakers don't even have to argue for is right here in the film. You have the egomaniac not taking responsibility for his own actions, being tactless when confronted, purposely ruining relationships he started long ago. You see some of this come out before he gets the contract and you see that people just shut up because they believe in him, and don't want to make him anymore mad than he is. Then, he takes over and doesn't allow anyone else collaborate about how things are going to work out (including the filmmakers). He tells them not to mess up and then he doesn't allow them to. There's no way that Troy Duffy was made to look bad by means of editing. Look at the scene near the end when his brother and the rest of the band have meeting. It follows these things: Troy lost all of his initial contracts for the band, movie, bar, etc., he makes the movie and takes it to the festival only to get scant distribution that doesn't make the money back. They get a record contract and release it, but it doesn't sell. The band comes to him after the movie doesn't get distribution to tell him his focus must now be on the band and that they don't like the way he treats them and should change his ways, they say in the most loving way possible, and he doesn't listen to them. He just doesn't listen...that's what this movie is about: you need to listen to others, they aren't worthless.
Summary of OvernightA rags to riches story that begins with Troy selling his first screenplay. Troy uses his new found good fortune to mistreat his associates friends & even his brother. Troys rise & subsequent fall from hollywood grace is something you wont believe unless you see it for yourself. Studio: Image Entertainment Release Date: 10/23/2007 Run time: 82 minutes Rating: R
