an unsophisticated Keyser Soze

Ronald Tackmann is a genius, no doubt about it. he's also an eclectic artist his inventiveness doesn't seem to have any limits.
I read about him on the New York Magazine and I was very amused by his story.
The man has been a guest of the Riker Island prison since 1985 (or even before?), when he first decided to escape. How? he made his own gun, carving it out of a soap. And he succeded in his break-out til two of his cons, hoping to get their sentences reduced jumped him. After six months he made another gun with a box of matches, graphite from a pencil and used cans. he ended up locked 23 hours a day and in that little cell became a jailhouse inventor. he projected energy efficient houses, jet helicopters, a pocket size survival tent and many many other weird and useless inventions.
About one year ago he entered the court of Manhattan as a prisoner and went out as a lawyer. They took him within 24 hours after he went to visit his mother and ate in his favourite restaurant in New York.
I think his biography could be a brilliant movie directed by Joel and Ethan Coen starring the talented John Turturro.
