The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Fightville is a documentary mostly based on two fighters (Dustin Poirier and Albert Stainback)In dead end Louisana the documentary covers both their stories and explores their Personalities/Psychographics through MMA (Mix Martial Arts). MMA is hugely frowned upon and called 'Human cock fighting' but this documentary prevails that MMA is a way to keep people of the street and turn them into Physical/Mental/Social Perfectionists, as being a established fighter within MMA is their dream . Tim Credeur (UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) Veteran and BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) Black Belt) their coach renowned for starring on the Ultimate Fighter Season 7 is like a guide/father figure and to those training at Gladiatots Academy gym as he has seen the Sport of MMAs Ups and Downs.Beautiful Cinematography and Footage of Fights is not limited like similar documentariesSumming it up:Two Fighters, Two Personalities, One Coach, One Dream.

Fightville was such an excellent documentary and it gets you to see inside the life of a cage fighter. Cage fighters train day in and day out to be the best. The sport is not just a sport, but a way of life. They make unbelievable sacrifices that most people have a hard time doing. But in the end, when you have that win, it makes all the tears, sweat, beatings, and training all the more worth it. This movie did such a great job seeing the part of MMA that most people don't ever see. There's a lot more behind a pair of gloves and a clever nickname and more people need to realize this. This movie for sure gets a 10 out of 10.

Yes, cheesy as it sounds, I DID feel the fight in Fightville. I will not tell you too much because you should see it for yourself, but I loved experiencing the up close access that this documentary shows. I love that the documentary is presented in the words of the families, the promoters and most of all the fighters. You can't help but feel the pain and sweet in this documentary. Pretty intense and very real.There was a bit of culture shock for me in this documentary too. I can't say I knew what a grind the sport is for those "down in the trenches" looking for a shot. You'll know what I mean when you watch it.

Fightville is such a pleasure to watch. I've been to two screenings and loved it the second time as much as the first.It's easy to fall in love with the characters. The film captures their full personalities and offers an intimate view of their lives.The story is tight, and taps into the universal drive to go after one's dreams without being heavy handed or cheesy.Michael Tucker really got into the fights with his camera and his cinematography works wonderfully.What surprised me the most is how many funny moments they managed to find in a documentary about MMA fighting. That's probably my favorite part.
