In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

When heavyweight champion George "Iceman" Chambers lands in prison, the resident gangster arranges a boxing match with the reigning prison champ. The Undisputed Series is probably one of the most weird Franchises ever made and the reason why it's because the original film was directed by Walter Hill (Red Heat, Bullet to the Head) and starred Wesley Snipes (Blade Trilogy), Ving Rhames (Mission Impossible Franchise) and Michael Rooker (Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 1 and Vol. 2) and yet somehow it's a pretty forgettable movie to be honest. Just put this film next to 2,3 and 4 and you'll see what i'm talking about the movie doesn't have anything to be remembered by except the Cast and the Name, the characters are not that good, the boxing sequences aren't that impressive and even the soundtrack is just meh with some good moments only. They even turned the American anthem into a rap song for some reason, Peter Falk tries way too hard to be the next De Niro of this film and Ving Rhames is basically kinda of a bully and i gotta say i'm glad that they chose Michael Jai White for the sequel to portray George 'Iceman' Chambers he portrayed the character in a much much better way. The best part of the film is Snipes as Monroe Hutchen his character was likable and pretty much the entire saving grace of this film and i know that i sound like i hated this movie but i didn't i just founded a fine and forgettable boxing movie nothing more and nothing else. (6.1/10)

it is very difficult to sustain interest in a movie wherein you have a fair inkling about the denouement beforehand. Undisputed is one such movie. 5 minutes into the movie, one can actually accurately guess what the end would be like. However, credit goes to the director of the movie that he does not allow the interest of the viewer to sag throughout its run time of nearly 85 minutes. There is Ving Rhames, a character obviously based on Mike Tyson, who is the world heavyweight champion but has been sentenced to the prison under accusation of rape. His contender is played by Wesley Snipes in one of his more restrained roles here. Snipes is the undefeated champion of the prison boxing matches. Rhames is arrogant and a total bully. Snipes has the concentration of a Zen master and is cooler than cucumber. Who will win? The movie is interspersed with many action sequences. The problem lies with Rhames who does not look like a boxing champ and obviously a clichéd story. there are the mandatory side characters but they have two bit role and they fail to impress. The final match is done pretty well but falls short of the iconic scenes of the Rocky franchise. 2.5 out of 5 for this. The sequels are rated higher. Will definitely watch them soon.

What a great movie! In this movie there are no good guys or bad guys, just different shades of bad guys. Nobody in this movie is good. Cynicism abounds. Move over Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed. Here comes Monroe Hutchens and George Chambers, and they're tougher, meaner and better actors then anything Balboa and Company could deliver. This movie is fast paced, action packed, tense, with a great plot, as two men immediately square off for the championship of ...? For this is why this movie is so great. It's about anger with no place to go, no place where it can be vented, except in the ring, as hardcore criminals take sides in a fight that plays into their violent natures. The Rocky movies don't even come close to portraying this aspect of boxing. In this movie the fighters ARE violent, they ARE unapologetic and they do NOT like each other. That is, there is no pretentiousness here. The question is a simple one: who will win and who will lose? There are some who may assert that that boxing is portrayed in a negative manner, but that is not the case. In this movie boxing is elevated to the level of a gladiatorial contest where more than money is at stake. So if you want to watch a movie about boxing, this is the movie to watch. It offers the most direct, unabashed, and straightforward examine of one of the most basic form of competition, boxing. Also, Ving Rhames gives a great performance and manages to carry this movie from beginning to the end, and proves once again that he is a great actor.

This movie was a pleasant surprise.I say this because like some of you, I sometimes like to see what my fellow IMDb reviewers have to say about a movie before I check it out. Most of the reviews I saw for Undisputed seemed middling and that put me off for a good while. Recently I decided- "What the hey! I'll check it out anyway!" Am I glad I did because I enjoyed it immensely. (Just goes to show that IMDb reviewers are not infallible, yours truly included.) This was a kind of David and Goliath movie behind bars: This big arrogant heavyweight champion gets sent to prison for rape (Sound familiar?). In prison, he has no respect for anyone and let's them know it. This includes the prison champion. Toward the end of the movie they eventually square off as we know they would (and should).Folks, this movie was "tight". By that I mean there was never any slack in my interest even though there were only a few skirmishes until the big finale. Interestingly, Wesley Snipes's character was surprisingly restrained (unusual, I think) and did not seem that visible. This worked very well for him and the movie in general. We all know he plays cocky very well but this time that role and the spotlight went to Ving Rhames as the heavyweight sent to the slammer for rape. No doubt about it, Ving was intimidating. Like a horror movie, he made me cringe a couple of times and I was safely in my house! Everything worked for me; even the edgy, hardcore rap music in the background of some of the scenes (I'm generally not a big fan of rap music folks, so that's saying something!). Real television news and sports personalities were used which gave credibility to an incredible situation; by the start of the big fight, criminals -from both inside and out- were running the prison. I had to laugh. This is the fun of movies: entertaining you and making you believe in the improbable. The fight commentator was great. I don't know if he was an actor playing one or if he really was one. That's how good he was. The big fight was filmed expertly showing the action from inside, outside, and above the arena (a large cage). The camera person did not miss a beat. The action itself was intelligently choreographed (reminded me a bit of the last Rocky movie) so that it was believable and you couldn't tell what was going to happen. I'll let you in on a secret: this is one of the best and most realistic movie-boxing matches ever put on film! You almost believe that the fight-coordinator(s) took it all from a real boxing match. -And who knows? -Like the idea for Ving's character, maybe they did. I sure as hell felt like I was at one despite the prison setting. Whatever you might think of the rest of the movie, the boxing match at the end makes it all worth it and is not to be missed!!!
