Reviews for Undisputed
[Hill] stretches credulity to the breaking point is in asking us to believe that there are actually two pro athletes in America who would have to stay in prison long enough that the arrangements for such a fight could be made.
Stripped-down to a point where it doesn't resemble a movie so much as it does pure, chemical testosterone, "Undisputed" is a prison boxing drama that you wish had something more than prison and boxing on its mind.
Dispiriting and obvious. …a potentially complex movie drained of all complexity, and a drama drained of all consequence.
"Undisputed" could have been compelling, but it ultimately plays out as a standard prison action movie.
This is not the undisputed worst boxing movie ever, but it's certainly not a champion - the big loser is the audience.
With flashbulb editing as cover for the absence of narrative continuity, Undisputed is nearly incoherent, an excuse to get to the closing bout ... by which time it’s impossible to care who wins.
