What to Know

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 04/03/2017
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. Go to Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media 12/29/2010
2/5
A forgettable prison boxing movie. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg L.A. Weekly 09/26/2002
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. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Sep 13
3/4
Despite its setting, the movie admirably stays away from the usual stereotypes found in practically every prison flick. Go to Full Review Mitchell Beaupre Paste Magazine 09/29/2023
7.5/10
It packs a punch quite unexpected from what you think you’re getting on the tin. Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 04/29/2009

mark G @Mark_Alan_G. Mar 20 This is an excellent boxing movie. Obviously it's inspired by Mike Tyson's criminal conviction. Rhames and Snipes both are great. Falk's character provides excellent historical information on the sport. The boxing champion of the world is convicted and he mixes with the boxing champion of the prison, simple, classic. See more Todor Y @Phantom961 Jan 29 The first film is unsuccessful for me, the boxing depicted is mediocre and fails to capture my attention. I don't like how they made it. See more Cory E @Eagerfilm33 Jan 19 I love these type of movies but even with a damn good cast this film is so bad. Simply awful. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jan 9 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Keith B B @Okbullard Jan 5 It was interesting but not the best. I watch many fights and they were obviously throwing fake punches in this film. I'd never bother watching this again. See more Steven F @RT60195998 04/08/2023 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. See more Read all reviews
