Genre: Dramas

Synopsis: UNDISPUTED tells the story of an undefeated world champion prize fighter (RHAMES) who is convicted of rape and sent to prison, where he must confront and ultimately fight the reigning prison boxing...

Iceman-Hutchen is much more exciting, and much less expensive to watch, than Lewis-Tyson.

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

Too slow for a younger crowd, too shallow for an older one.

Rhames is a tightly harnessed bundle of fury, Snipes a restrained champion who seems to have made inner peace with the crime of passion that sent him away for life, and Falk a riveting delight.

Listlessly directed and can't surmount the deja vu induced by the prison jumpsuits, tattoos, and scenes set near the community bench press.

Walter Hill's pulpy, stylized boxing melodrama Undisputed nearly overcomes its questionable in-the-ring match-up with solid fight choreography and gritty prison authenticity.

An unassuming, brief and cheaply entertaining boxing movie.

Walter Hill's Undisputed is like a 1940s Warner Bros. B picture, and I mean that as a compliment.

It should have been more memorable, but at least it doesn't stumble in the ring.

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

"Undisputed" could have been compelling, but it ultimately plays out as a standard prison action movie.

To be sure, this is a very thin premise, but it's remarkable how efficiently Hill layers it with suggestion and meaning.
