Summary: Two boxers go head to head but it's the movie that's K.O.'d!
Review: Wesley Snipes stars as the boxing champ of Sweetwater Prison whose title and manhood are put at jeopardy when the true heavyweight champion (played by Ving Rhames) lands in the cellblock for the rape of a showgirl (Rose Rollins). I enjoyed UNDISPUTED for the first thirty minutes or so but after that I became lost. I was looking for deeper character development than I ever got. We get to know Ving Rhames character the most (mainly because he's a replica of Mike Tyson) and he's the antagonist. We get introduced to several supporting characters (Wes Studi, Fisher Stevens, Peter Falk, Michael Rooker, Jon Seda) here and there for whatever reason. However, they're all a prison cliché. The character we never get to know, oddly, is the hero, played by Wesley Snipes. We can only assume that Snipes is the hero because of his sensitive hobby of making houses out of toothpicks. Other than that, Snipes has only about twenty lines. It's weird. Rhames even though billed second has far more screen time than Snipes. I can't help but feel that this film lost it in the editing room. Somehow this movie feels like half a movie. Like important parts have been chopped away. I just can't imagine writers Walter Hill and David Giler (ALIEN), or any writers for that matter, writing a script with such a non-dimensional lead character. While action film veteran Walter Hill (48 HOURS; LAST MAN STANDING) 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. D+ (the plus is for Ving Rhames)

Summary: Who's the Champ?!
Review: When George "Ice Man" Chambers (Ving Rhames) the heavyweight champion of the world arrives to the Sweetwater Prison he finds out that the prison has its own boxing champ, Monroe Hutchens (Wesley Snipes). This leads to immediate conflict between the arrogant Chambers and the quiet Monroe where the prison warden sends Monroe to solitary confinement. Mendy Ripstein (Peter Falk), a mobster convicted for tax eviction, is a devoted boxing fan who wants to set up a fight with old boxing rules between the two. The fight is a highly anticipated fight by the convicts, since Chambers has made a large number of enemies within the prison. Undisputed is a combination between a boxing film and a prison film that is rather predictable. The film provides an average cinematic experience that offers action, but not more.

Summary: I really wanted to like this movie
Review: When I first saw the previews for this movie I have to admit I was pretty excited. It looked like a potential action blockbuster with two pretty decent actors in Wesley and Ving playing opposite each other. I really, really wanted to like it. Guess I can't get everything I want. Ving is the World Champion boxer imprisoned for raping a woman. In the prison we find that there is an underground boxing world run by the guards and an old mobster. The champion in this world is Wesley. Naturally the movie builds to the final conflict between the two. The movie was, at best, bad. I kept watching hoping to see something emerge from this mess and it didn't. The plot, or what little there was, was pure cliche and a bad one at that. Neither actor really invested anything in the characters, both of which were also pure cliche. Ving's was arrogant and over the top. Wesley's was a Zen warrior. Don't waste your time with this one. If you want to see a "bad" boxing movie then Play it to the Bone with Antonio and Woody is much more entertaining.
