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.

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

Writer/director Walter Hill is in his hypermasculine element here, once again able to inject some real vitality and even art into a pulpy concept that, in many other hands would be completely forgettable.
