Disturbing yet enthralling

A Brilliant Conflict

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Bam! Bam! Bam! WARNING! - If you are someone who simply cannot enjoy (even slightly) watching a man being royally pulverized by another, then "Fightville" certainly isn't gonna register as entertainment for you.But, on the other hand - If you wanna see the real thing here where a bunch of very dedicated young men (who seem to have a lot of inner-rage to vent) punch the living daylights outta each other (all in the name of glory with little or no monetary gain), then this well-produced documentary (from 2011) is certainly worth a view.Through interviews with MMA fighters, their trainers (and, yes, even opinions from concerned parents) - Fightville introduces the viewer to these feisty, pugilistic, young lads from Gladiator Academy (located in Lafayette, Louisiana) who travel around the State with promoter Gil Guillory in order to proudly demonstrate (to the ever-curious public) all there is to know about anger-management, one-on-one combat and the disciplined art of MMA fighting.

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.

I had just Watched DUSTIN POIRIER aka The Diamond vs CHAN SUNG JUNG aka The Korean Zombie .. Like a Week Before I seen FIGHTVILLE on Showtime So I Decided to Check it Out Because it was a Great Fight .. & I knew JUNG aka Korean Zombie was a Great Fighter & Warrior & Really The Only Asian Fighter I Liked But I Wanted to see more of POIRIER .. & I am Pretty sure he will be a FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION in THE UFC in The Next Two or so Years ... Homey been a Fighter since He Popped Out The VA-JAY-JAY .. Fighting for Real But for FUN as a Pre-Teen & Teenager Based on what his MOM said & Broke The Jaw of The OG of The Block who was 5 Years Older After he Beat ALL The other Kids his Age UP ... Because The OG said he hasn't fought him Yet (lol) Just Watched POIRIER vs BROOKINS 2 Nights ago & Dustin took a few Good Shots then Crumbled BROOKINS with his Own Shots & Than DARCE CHOKED him While he was on The Ground .. Dustin has a Good/Great Chin & he Fights to Finish aka Not a Safety First or Points Fighter aka The Most Entertaining Type of Fighter & in My Top 10 Favorite Fighters already .. The other Fighter ALBERT STAINBACK seemed Tough but he was Not Just about Fighting & The Competition .. He was about The Show aka A CLOCKWORK ORANGE Walk Out OUTFIT & Theme Song & The Attention & Adrenaline Rush .. He hasn't Fought since JUNE 2010 Based off of SHERDOG so I don't know what he is up to .. I thought it was Awesome & Hilarious that DUSTIN .. KOD .. a Fighter with The Nickname .. "The Sex Machine" for his Last Fight of The Documentary (lol) He looked like a Good Fighter & Legit But Lame A/S/S Nick Names Always Bug Me .. If he is The Sex Machine .. Dustin made Sure MISSIONARY was The Only Sex Position he could Perform that Night ... PAUSE ... Also (lol) @ TIM CREDEUR saying .. "Whats up MY BABY" .. After Dustin slept The Sex Machine .. It Sounded Kinda Lame but he was PROUD of his Student or Fighter

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.
