Undisputed (2002)

Delivers what it promises...
If you're a fan of either boxing or prison movies, or both, this a good pic for you. Fans of Peter Falk may want to check this out also... as he revisits his classic hard-boiled, wizened old guy role, this time in a much-aged version. The film wins points for being straight-forward and to the point... while still leaving ambiguities that keep it interesting and true-to-life, like what really happened with Ice Man's "he said" "she said" court case. The characters are presented simply, true-ly, and without a lot of bs or fluff. The filming and shoots are well-done, the characters and scenes believable. The action is linear and satisfying, and the film ends on a fine note. The only weakness is in the scene of the final fight. The fight is not interesting; except for the final few moments, you can hardly make out what they're doing, and it's not very dramatic. But overall, I would recommend this to fans of this genre.

2 WINNER WARRIORS
THESE 2 WERE EXCELLENT,I AM FEMALE AND I DONT USUALLY SIT AND WATCH MOVIE BOXING,ONLY THE REAL THING,BUT I COULDNT TAKE MY EYES OF OF THIS ONE,AS WESLEY AND RHIMES WERE JUST WONDERFUL,YOU WILL TOTALLY ENJOY THIS FLICK TAKE IT FROM ME.!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST SEE THE SLIGHT PART WHERE THEY ARE PORTRAYING SLICKLY VING AS MIKE TYSON!

If You Need This DVD, Buy It For Less Than $5.00!
Like I said, if you need this DVD, make sure you get a cheap used copy. The story & theme is a rehash of other movies, but if you take this movie with a grain of salt (In other words...don't have HIGH expectations!!), you might enjoy it. Welsey Snipes & Ving Rhames together in a boxing / prison movie with a touch of Mafia...the mere thought is laughable (so is the fairy tale "he lived happily ever after" ending!! LOL), but I found the movie mildly entertaining, and shoot the price was right. On a scale of 1-5, I give the movie 2.5 stars, but it's not bad for the price. Let's hope 'Undisputed 2' is much better...that shouldn't be too hard!
Peace, SD
