  • Undisputed
  • Two of Hollywood's hottest stars -- Wesley Snipes (BLADE 1&2, PASSENGER 57) and Ving Rhames (PULP FICTION, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 1&2) -- go head-to-head in this explosive crime thriller! When the world's heavyweight champion (Rhames) is sent to prison, everything points to an inevitable showdown with the penitentiary's undefeated champ (Snipes). But to make sure the meeting will happen, a former mob boss (Peter Falk -- TV's COLUMBO, CORKY ROMANO) must call in favors from the outside world. Then the battle is on ... and the action, adrenaline, and intensity switch into high gear! Also featuring Master P (RHYME & REASON, I GOT THE HOOK-UP) and Ed Lover (RIDE) -- this powerfully entertaining motion picture is another crowd-pleaser from the hit-making director of 48 HRS., ANOTHER 48 HRS., and LAST MAN STANDING!

    [A] rock-hard, streamlined "B" movie.

    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.

    ...a B picture in an era that doesn't really allow for them.

    A história se desenvolve de forma curiosa, mas a luta final deixa a desejar.

    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.

    At 90 minutes this movie is short, but it feels much longer.

    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.

    Can best be described as Animal House with bars, a fantasy musical maximum security joint.
