Critics Consensus

While not the deepest boxing movie out there, Undisputed is successful at hitting its aspiration of being nothing more than a genre picture.

Michael Sragow The New Yorker Drawing on torn-from-the-headlines events and B-movie history, Hill and his co-writer, David Giler, fill out their premise with hardboiled irony and gusto. Apr 3, 2017 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media A forgettable prison boxing movie. Rated: 2/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Daniel Fienberg L.A. Weekly With flashbulb editing as cover for the absence of narrative continuity, Undisputed is nearly incoherent, an excuse to get to the closing bout ... by which time it's impossible to care who wins. Sep 26, 2002 Full Review Mitchell Beaupre Paste Magazine It packs a punch quite unexpected from what you think you’re getting on the tin. Rated: 7.5/10 Sep 29, 2023 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed It's dead in the water before the climax.

Steven F Not a bad film considering its 1st of the franchise. Wesley good actor is boxing skills was ok but I prefer his martial art, overall good film and story of prison and underground boxing. It's a shame he didn't continue the franchise that would of been great move from boxing to martial arts. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The film's aesthetics are striking and, if anything, certainly set it apart, it conveys the tension between and around the two leads well, Snipes steals the show with his captivating performance (and so does Falk's incessant swearing to be fair), and the climax is up to scratch. It's also positively surprising that it dedicates time to explore Chambers's rape conviction, though the eventual ambiguity might justly raise some eyebrows (and Hill's self-professed intentions only make matters worse). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member It's just a building-up hype for last fight!Music and soundtracks were good,acting was decent mike Tyson was okay Wesley Snipes was amazing loved the art in his cell,The character Ripstein was literally star amazing performance and his love for sport and good ending with his honesty and definitely his F#ing Speech and some dialogues were amazing!Story was okay so does screenplay but the flow of movie was issue starting and ending was amazing the middle portion is just boring and build up for fight,the characters were too much in it and i didn't connect with them at all,overall one time watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I am not a pro boxer but fights in this movie are good, not perfect and Wesley Snipes's acting was great  The background story of two boxers isn't full explained Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie sure wasn't deep in any way, but I thought it was good. Ving Rhames was fantastic, so was Wesley Snipes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review adam b One of the most uninteresting boxing films I've ever seen. Generic to the core and the boxing scenes were probably the worst part of the film Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
