Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Oscar Gonzalez 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.
svigna-427-504577 I have never followed the MMA sport, so really didn't know much about it. I knew the fighters fought in a cage, used various forms of fighting, and trained hard. But that was about it. Occupation: Fighter really opened my eyes to the life of a MMA fighter. I was able to see the gruesome training the athletes go through and the dedication and discipline it takes to prepare for a fight. The movie shows all the sacrifices these athletes make in their everyday life, and the sacrifices their family and friends make as well. Occupation: Fighter is not just a movie about MMA fighting. Its a movie about setting goals and dedicating your life to reaching those goals. The athletes in Occupation: Fighter truly inspired me. I recommend this movie to anyone who has ever has a goal/dream. This film was very well made & I enjoyed every minute of it.
Dara_B A really compelling look at the work and sacrifice it takes to be an MMA fighter. It really opened my eyes to the amount of dedication it takes to be an MMA fighter. We usually only get to see the end result - the fight we watch. This was a very honest view into what it takes to get there.I highly recommend Occupation: Fighter for anyone who is a fight fan and wants to get an inside look at the life of a fighter. I was really impressed by both the fighter, Chad George, and the dedication of the people around him to helping him meet his goals.Inspiring, compelling, truthful and, at times, brutal. Makes the HBO specials about boxers getting ready for their fights seem pretty lame in comparison.
ghetto_flab 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
