Occupation: Fighter (2012)

Just so...so bad

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This documentary kept me watching the whole time. Not only because its very well done and has a great story but because Chad George is a personal friend of mine. Chad and I were roommates in college and I remember when he first started doing MMA. At first I thought it was just a hobby- I had no idea he would take his passion to a championship level.A few years after graduation I moved out of Los Angeles so I missed watching Chad go on this Journey. Occupation Fighter gave me an inside look on Chad's life and what it takes to be a professional athlete.One of the highlights of the film is watching Chad showcase his art at an exhibit he put together at a local L.A. gallery. Chad is a dynamic human being that is very good at what he does. This is a must see for every MMA fan.

This movie is as true of a story about a true human being, able to connect into a deep way that will affect people's views on not only the sport but on what a real person is Following chad for 8 months will get you motivated and what makes this movie so great is the fact that it has 1 simple message, go for your dreamsStop reading this and watch it now It spreads a bright light on the sport In a meaningful way With excellent screenplay This is a film based on raw emotion That captures the ART in mixes martial arts Literally.... Also filled with many different characters noticeable to the hardcore fans of mma All in this movie is a must watch if you crave some motivation In your day and wish to one day go forward with something you love!

I was interested in Occupation Fighter after I saw the trailer, but I had no clue how much it would alter my view of MMA. Of course you assume being an MMA fighter must be absurdly hard, but the extent to which their discipline and hardship goes is nearly unimaginable.Not even just in the cage, but long before the actual fight takes place these fighters are challenging themselves physically, mentally and emotionally to an insane level! After seeing Occupation: Fighter my respect for MMA fighters has grown thoroughly and my view of the entire sport has changed a lot! These are some truly amazing individuals and if you have even the slightest interest in the UFC, WEC, Strikeforce or just MMA in general this documentary will be quite enjoyable!

I downloaded Occupation Fighter from the Website for $9.99 with proceeds going toward getting the film a full release, The documentary is a Honest account of 8 months in the life of Chad 'Savage' George and the build up to a pivotal fight in his WEC career. Throughout the film we are introduced to various friends and training partners including many famous names in the MMA world, we are also shown George's less 'savage' side at a gallery exhibition of his artwork. This Doc shows the struggle a fighter goes through and the grueling punishment his body is put through in preparation for a fight. I cannot recommend this film highly enough.If you have the chance to see it then do, even better. why not pay the $9.99 and download it. this film deserves a decent release and you can help achieve this
