This documentary follows Troy Duffy, a brash, foul-mouthed bartender whose screenplay for an action film called "Boondock Saints" scores him a generous contract to write and direct the film for Harvey Weinstein at Miramax Studios. Duffy's band, the Brood, is also in the midst of signing a contract with Madonna's Maverick Records. Duffy's fiery manner is instrumental to his success, but when the deals go sour, no one seems safe from his explosive temper.

3/5

There's an element of revenge in it, with the filmmakers editing their footage in a way that highlights Duffy's bad behavior -- but, for the most part, their subject sinks himself.

this documentary follows Troy Duffy, a bartender who was given a generous contract by the director. Duffy's band The Brood are also in the process of signing with Madonna's Maverick Records. Duffy's frenzy plays a key role in his success, but no one is safe from his explosive temper when a deal goes awry.
