My Take
Troy Duffy is one of those figures whose backstory almost overshadows the films themselves. The Boondock Saints became a genuine cult favorite, the kind of movie people quote and own on physical media long after critics moved on. But what really sticks with me is Overnight, the 2003 documentary that captured his rise and stumble in Hollywood in unusually raw fashion. As a filmmaker and bandleader from Hartford, Connecticut, he is a cautionary tale and a folk hero at once. I think the honesty of that documentary is exactly why his name still carries weight among film buffs decades later.
