Reviews for Undisputed
A solid, efficient B movie that holds the screen masterfully for an all-too-brief 90 minutes.
As with any boxing movie or fight card, the main event doesn't come until the very end, and like too many pay-per-view packages the undercard is underwhelming.
We have no idea where these characters have been, so we don't care where they're going.
Too reliant on its already-dated "topicality" and listlessly coasting on a laundry list of prisonyard plot points.
In a better movie, we wouldn’t feel compelled to choose which fighter to root for.
"Undisputed" could have been compelling, but it ultimately plays out as a standard prison action movie.
Undisputed barely rises above the ordinary, but it does combine action, prisons, and boxing, boasts a good cast, and throws in some undisguised sociopolitical commentary.
