Genre: Action/Adventure

Despite creative flourishes here and there ... Undisputed is ultimately destined for one of those "guy movie" marathons on cable TV.

By its modest, straight-ahead standards, Undisputed scores a direct hit.

A solid, efficient B movie that holds the screen masterfully for an all-too-brief 90 minutes.

Boasting a solid cast and efficient direction from industry veteran Walter Hill, the film delivers what it promises but absolutely nothing more.

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

At times, the picture seems to have been edited with a blowtorch. But it gets the job done efficiently and swiftly.

Undisputed may be the best hip-hop prison boxing movie ever, though I'm hard-pressed to name another one.

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.

A lean and mean thriller that, no disrespect intended, is in the best B-movie tradition.

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.

Walter Hill continues doing what he does best, knocking out a visceral prison melodrama with a show-stealing role from Peter Falk.

Undisputed is undeniable fun, thanks to its rugged rock pile of attitude, bravado and fisticuffs.

Though no classic, it's a potboiler worth going a few rounds.

A terrific B movie -- in fact, the best in recent memory.
