Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

rexbgood The most disappointing thing about this film is knowing that Troy Duffy finally managed to put together another movie. The man is (or was if he learned anything) one of the biggest douches in Hollywood. A moderate talent at best, he has a chip on his shoulder the size of the rock of Gibraltar. Watching him fail is a sweet satisfaction. Some (myself included) want to see success go to not just those who have the talent, but also the class and appreciation when they get it. Nothing quite so rewarding as watching people like Lindsay Lohan, Tom Cruise, and Michael Jackson suffering defeat, failure and disappointment when they haven't the slightest degree of humility. When you get the world handed to you, you should humbly bow and say "thanks," not "It's about time. I deserve this!"

Jim Powell Like my mama always said, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Also, the things you don't like about people are probably the things you don't like about yourself.As I watched this movie, all I could think about was how much Troy talked "I, I, I, me, me, me, I, me, I, me" to this and that. Seems to think there's nothing wrong with him and that all the problems were someone else. Funny, seems to me his problems are all him. Not because of him, just simply him.Hollywood is a business. It's about making money. He was given quite an opportunity and his inability to understand how to operate in the business was his own fault. Hollywood is for adults, and Troy did nothing but act like a child. He bit back to those trying to help him before he even had any clout in the business (either music or movie).Dreams die hard. No doubt about it. His drunk, smoking, cursing self got exactly what he brought upon himself.And just a question, why is everyone he doesn't like a "co^&sucker" when he ends up living in the gayest neighborhood in LA? It's obvious this guy was out of his league and has issues. It's also obvious he wanted to be Harvey but doesn't have the finesse, maturity, or business acumen required. He acted like a child in a very adult world.Like my mama also said, the bigger they are (or try to make you think they are) the harder they fall.

Mr Parker Wow.It's stunning to see how success or more accurately, potential success, can turn someone into even more of a buffoon than they may already be. This documentary revolving around the explosive rise and equally explosive fall of director Troy Duffy ("Boondock Saints") who hit it big with the sale of the Boondock Saints screenplay to Miramax is easily one of the most stomach turning examples of vanity eating its host and rearing its head like some karmic Godzilla. It's really disgusting to see Duffy literally squander the opportunities that came his way, opportunities that many on this planet don't even come close to breathing on as they drive past. This fool had the kind of deal you read about in a fantasy story where devils are involved, except this guy didn't have to trade in his soul. I've met this kind of guy in film school, the type that believe that they're more creative than anyone else around them and it's just as enjoyable to watch this guy crash and burn just as it was with the big-talkers and egomaniacs back at school.Though the question remains as to whether or not this was really just a big smear piece by the film's co-directors (I mean let's face it, it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility when you take into considering the verbal lashings and mental abuse administered to them by Mr. Duffy himself), the fact that Troy Duffy is nothing but a complete jackass still lays bare for you on the screen for you to stare at in wonder. No matter how this film may have been cut, no matter what may have been left out as opposed to what was left in, the fact remains that Duffy sank his own ship with his caustic persona and idiotic decisions and didn't even bother to get out the life preservers for him or his crew. This was a very enjoyable and well done documentary even though it was kind of tough to watch in a way. It's a perfect cautionary tale for filmmakers and artists alike.RATING: ***1/2 out of *****.P.S. And in the end, Boondock Saints wasn't even worth all the fuss.

JoeytheBrit There's only one thing worse than a bad loser, and that's a bad winner – and the odious Troy Duffy has to be one of the baddest of the bunch. Gifted with the kind of movie/soundtrack deal that comes along only once in many lifetimes, the foul-mouthed drunken Duffy proceeds, with blind, bombastic foolishness, to throw it all away.And don't we just love it… Even as we squirm as new kid on the block Duffy blithely informs agents and producers of how he is the latest biggest thing in Hollywood and should therefore be afforded some of the respect he believes he deserves, we can't help but feel a seed of anticipation at the inevitable downfall that awaits the fool. Duffy burns bridges faster than a retreating Nazi and shows not one jot of remorse or understanding of the huge blunders he has made. Even as things are falling apart about him he stubbornly clings to this unshakable belief that none if it is his fault, and that those around him are to blame.Of course, most of those around him must share a small portion of blame because they don't have the nerve – whether through genuine fear or simply because they don't want to throw away what they see as a once-in-a-lifetime meal ticket – to stand up to him, even when he treats them like dirt.This film truly is a unique and fascinating study of the destructive force of an out of control ego, and only because no proper, thinking person really wants anybody – nobody how obnoxious – to come to harm, does it not get a higher rating from me.
