    All the elements are here but for some reason Hill can't pull them together to make you care.

    Criminally (get it, it takes place at a prison) overlooked boxing film that is edge of your seat exciting from start to finish. I can't believe this didn't gain new life on video.

    the plot was too simple, but fight scenes weren't bad, and the casting was good. But whatever you do, do NOT watch the sequel!!

    Very basic plot. Acting by the two leads is alright. All comes down to the finale though.

    Good for a tv movie. Snipes has about five lines in the film. But I still couldn't see why the prison loved him that much.

    I enjoyed Undisputed for the first thirty minutes or so but after that I became lost. The character we never get to know, oddly, is the hero, played by Wesley Snipes. I can't help but feel that this film lost it in the editing room. Somehow this movie feels like hal...( read more)f a movie. Like important parts have been chopped away. I just can't imagine writers Walter Hill and David Giler writing a script with such a non-dimensional lead character. While action film veteran Walter Hill has learned some stylish new tricks to filmmaking, they're not enough to save his latest effort. All in all, two incarcerated boxers go head to head, but it's the movie that gets K.O.'d.

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Walter Hill's prison-boxing flick Undisputed could have been a great B, but it represents a failure of nerve. full review

August 23, 2002
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

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

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

A muscular, no-nonsense genre pic. full review

August 23, 2002
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

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