In Undisputed, Rocky gets a prison-block makeover and the generic combination packs a vicious one-two punch. Owing much to the macho, gut-busting B-movies of Hollywood's golden age, this no-nonsense drama gets right down to business, beginning when heavyweight champ "Iceman" Chambers (Ving Rhames) enters Sweetwater prison on a rape charge. The prison has a boxing programme, and convicted killer Monroe Hutchen (Wesley Snipes) is the 10-year undefeated champion. A challenge bout is coordinated by an aging mobster prisoner (Peter Falk) and the head guard (Michael Rooker), and Undisputed pummels its way to its brutal and unpredictable conclusion. Colourful characters abound (foul-mouthed Falk is the hilarious standout), and seasoned director Walter Hill (coscripting with his Alien partner David Giler) brings them together with invigorating focus. There's not an ounce of fat on this tough-minded movie, and even its inevitable outcome seems freshly unexpected. Obviously inspired by Mike Tyson's ill-fated escapades, Undisputed turns fact into potent cell-block fiction. --Jeff Shannon

Not bad action wise, basically tells inadvertent story of when iron mike went to jail met some unsavouries, stirred it up but also met a dynamite fighter in Wesley snipes.
I tell you this guy really looks good fighting in any style.
Compared to some movies this was underhyped but better than a lot of Snipes movies.

Kick-butt action movie
Review date: 2003-12-25 Rating: 10 out of 10
Snipes plays a typical character of his. A hard thug-like guy who don't care about noody. This film is an intelligent piece of work, the fights are top notch and there is no lack of extras on the DVD or any bad acting to be seen.
The rivalry between snipes and the hevywheight champ is so tense and at times I found myself wrapped up among the action, fear and hate.
Brilliant film-no doubt and a must for snipes fans.
