Genre: Action/Adventure

I've got nobody to root for ... in a movie like this I want to root for one of the boxers in the ring.

It's as raw and action-packed an experience as a ringside seat at a tough-man contest.

Undisputed, in my estimation, is one opponent that's definitely down for the count.

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.

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.

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

An average B-movie with no aspirations to be anything more.

It isn't Raging Bull, but at least it could give Play it to the Bone a knockout in five.

The needle on the testosterone meter zips into the red zone during the opening moments of Undisputed and doesn't dip back down until the closing credits are complete.

Even by its own please-the-mob standards, this movie is lacking.

After a stretch of questionable projects like Last Man Standing and Supernova, Hill has rebounded with a boxing pic so purely pugilistic that nothing impinges on the main event.

This is the kind of movie that gets a quick release before real contenders arrive in September.

Writer-director Walter Hill and co-writer David Giler try to create characters out of the obvious cliches, but wind up using them as punching bags.

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

For all of Hill's effort, Undisputed still seems routine, and its hold on the audience is casual.
