The only suspense comes from wondering just how loud the flesh-pounding, bone-crushing sound effects will get.

Reviews for Undisputed
This is not the undisputed worst boxing movie ever, but it's certainly not a champion - the big loser is the audience.
08/23/02
Iceman-Hutchen is much more exciting, and much less expensive to watch, than Lewis-Tyson.
08/23/02
By its modest, straight-ahead standards, Undisputed scores a direct hit.
08/22/02
A stylish but steady, and ultimately very satisfying, piece of character-driven storytelling.
08/22/02
If you enjoy your films served to the brim with testosterone and/or love the idea of a fight to the finish, you might find something redeemable here. Otherwise, don't expect anything along the lines of Rocky, Raging Bull or even Ali.
08/22/02
A lean, mean, vastly entertaining fight movie.

Top CriticUndisputed is undeniable fun, thanks to its rugged rock pile of attitude, bravado and fisticuffs.
08/22/02
Despite solid turns from Snipes and Rhames, the only thing undisputable about this film is its lack of excitement.
08/22/02
At times, the picture seems to have been edited with a blowtorch. But it gets the job done efficiently and swiftly.

Top CriticThis is a throwaway, junk-food movie whose rap soundtrack was better tended to than the film itself.
08/22/02
Walter Hill's Undisputed, a boxing/prison picture as smart as it is brawny, shows what seasoned Hollywood pros can still accomplish without pretensions and overwhelming special effects.
08/22/02
Top CriticUndisputed may be the best hip-hop prison boxing movie ever, though I'm hard-pressed to name another one.
08/22/02
Top CriticUndisputed's an unqualified hit.
08/22/02
While Undisputed isn't exactly a high, it is a gripping, tidy little movie that takes Mr. Hill higher than he's been in a while.
08/22/02
Top CriticStripped-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.
08/22/02
Each punch seen through prison bars, the fights become not so much a struggle of man vs. man as Brother-Man vs. The Man.
08/22/02
A lean, surprisingly artful programmer, closer in spirit to something like Don Siegel's Riot in Cell Block 11 than to typical boxing fare.
08/22/02
Cuts right through the B.S. giving a big middle-fingered “shut up” to those who talk up what is nothing more than two guys beating the hell outta one another.
08/22/02
...the direction is as choppy as a high school karate demonstration.
