What Doesn't Kill You

One of the 19 films in the Toronto Film Festival's Discovery program, announced earlier today, is What Doesn't Kill You, an real-life crime drama set in Boston with Mark Ruffalo and Ethan Hawke. Director and cowriter Brian Goodman (otherwise an actor who mainly works on TV series) based Ruffalo's character on his own experiences with a pal who's now serving 100 years in prison for armed robbery. Goodman himself has done time for assault, according to one news account.


What Doesn't Kill You director-writer Brian Goodman, Mark Ruffalo, Ethan Hawke

The film was originally called Real Men Cry. Donnie Wahlberg and Amanda Peet costar. The film is produced by Bob Yari, who is known to be on the financial ropes these days.

"I read the screenplay and absolutely loved it," an IMDB guy wrote. "It truly is a great American story about growing up in the city and the struggles that come with the attempts of sticking together with the ones you trust -- especially when you have been involved in the criminal life since day one. With a fantastic plot, character development and series of events overturning into a somewhat positive resolution, I definitely plan on seeing this film and recommend it to anyone who may be curious about it."

IMDB guy = Brian Goodman or Bob Yari?

Oh boy, a real live tough guy! I bet the V.P.'s of Production and Development are creaming their jeans. Nothing gets a prada-wrapped heart all a-flutter like a man who has actually spent time in Gen. Pop.

Now did this guy actually serve time, or is this one those cases where it's going to be found out that he had a bunch of parking tickets? Remember, when Seagal came on the scene in the mid-80's, he was ex-CIA.

I bet Patrick Whitesell was the first one to take a meeting with Goodman, probably wanted his recipe for Pruno.

with the old title they could have had it double billed with "Boys Don't Cry."

Ethan Hawke is looking more interesting as he gets older, more of a character actor look like Scott Glenn.

Mark Ruffalo is one of my favorite actors. I'll see anything that he's in.

I remember Goodman from a TV Series called "line of Fire," where he was an enforcer for a mobster played by the great David Paymer. The show was above average, but was cancelled in its first year due to bad ratings. Goodman was great in his role, and coupled with the fact that Ruffalo and Hawke are in this - I'll see it....

Brian Goodman was also very memorable in "The Last Castle."

I guess Goodman met Ruffalo on "The Last Castle," one of the most underrated action type movies of the past ten years. This one sounds really good. Ruffalo is always good, Hawke gets more and more interesting with every passing month, and who doesn't love Peete?

Legowombat says ...

Milkman, I too can recognise 'the artistic criminal' PR fetish a mile off. It makes for free hype and an easy story angle for lazy writers, but I loathe the way it supposedly adds a layer of versimiltude to the work being discussed.

Troy Duffy anyone?
