'Fightville," you had me at "gladiator school."
An up-close but superficial portrait of aspiring MMA stars as they fight their way through the Cajun Country regional circuit.
Ms. Epperlein and Mr. Tucker have talent and resolve - they spent months shooting "Fightville," a commitment that's scarcely evident - which makes the movie's superficiality all the more frustrating.
"Fightville" feels authentic about this world, where success may be measured in wins, but the balance of unrelenting brutality and self-discipline needed for those wins is a trickier equation.

The filmmakers take a mostly effective Hoop Dreams approach in showing how young hopefuls test the limits of their abilities and their economic situation.

It doesn't seem to display much of a point of view at all.

Audience Reviews for Fightville
Boring individuals talk about their aspirations to reach the top of a boring sport. Perfect to fall asleep to.

"We build better men." A documentary that focuses on a group of young athletes in southern Louisiana as they work toward achieving their goals of becoming professional mixed martial arts fighters.
