Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The second of the UNDISPUTED franchise, LAST MAN STANDING sees B-movie action specialist Isaac Florentine taking over from Walter Hill for what is a very different beast to the first. Gone are that film's cast, with Michael Jai White playing the hulking hero and taking over from Ving Rhames who played the same character in the first. It's still about martial arts tournaments in a Russian prison, but otherwise it's all change. The emphasis is on staging a series of brutal fight scenes both inside and outside of the ring, and they feature violent hits and extreme choreography. They're fantastic, to put it simply, and they help to lift what is otherwise an average plot and storyline into something special. Jai White is okay as the hero, although his character is perhaps a bit too hard to be very sympathetic, but then-newcomer Scott Adkins is the stand-out as his opponent, the Russian beast Boyka. It's amazing what Adkins does with his role here - his introduction in the ring alone had my eyes popping out of my head - and he would carry on the story with a further two sequels in which he would become the redemptive protagonist.

As a fan of the (TV) martial arts skills of Wesley Snipes in his previous roles, the first instalment of this franchise was good, but not great.Add Scott Adkins with his (real) martial arts skills and (real) scary persona, and you have a great second instalment to this franchise!Everything about this film was top notch, the action, suspense, directing, writing, and of course the outstanding martial arts choreography.Undisputed 2 has set a new modern standard for bad-as* martial-arts films!A perfect 10/10!

Undisputed 2 could be one of the best action movies that you never seen. I mean really people if you never saw the first undisputed would you really even know what the heck undisputed 2 was about. Undisputed 2 never made it to theatres and the reason is beyond me (really why on earth did this movie never make it to theatres,I mean really how many saw films and other horrible movies do we need out there) maybe because there is no big actors and the director is not really well known and so the movie was sent to Direct to Video and what a shame. Let's talk about what I just said I mean Micheal J White is not really a well known actor but he did come in a lot of movies I mean he in Universal Soldiger 2 and he was in Exit Wounds and he also was in Spawn but I don't think Hollywood ever really known what to do with him. Micheal is a excellent martial artist and he is a OK actor, I mean he sure is a best action star than those Van Damme and Segal guys and he should be better known. The other actor is the really unknown actor is Scott Adkins, who really should be better known. I mean a lot of kung fu movie fans will know you this guy is I mean he was in Unleashed with Jet Li in a bit part and he was also in Medallion with Jackie Chan I mean he was also in a lot of other action movies. Scott Adkins is really a excellent fighter and he does have the look and the acting chops to be the next big thing, I mean really there is not really a big action star out there in the USA, I mean Jackie and Jet are getting older and Van Damme and Segal are other there making some movies somewhere and there is Jason Statham who other making some action movies. But Scott Adkins needs to noticed and some producer needs to get him some work. The plot deals with Micheal J White character plays George Chambers a ex champion boxer( George Chambers was played by Ving Rhames in the original) who is in other country down on his luck making cheap commercials and going know where in his life and gets convicted of a crime and goes to jail( wow what a day). In jail he see's that there is a underground figting ring and soon enough he has to do battle with Scott Adkins. Scott Adkins plays Yuri Boyka a Russian mix martial artist fighter who is the champion of the underground fighting ring and soon enough George and Yuri will have to do battle. But first George has to learn how to fight because he is a boxer and he has to learn mix martial arts so he gets fight lesson from Crot ( Played nicely by Eli Danker) who teaches him the way to fight. I mean that is all about the plot, I mean really when the movie is called Undisupted 2 do really need the plot to be air tight no but what makes the movie different than your usual direct to video action movies is that the plot try's to have a plot with a little bit of heart and little bit of emotion which actually make's the movie above the norm. But the biggest selling point of a action movie is of course the ACTION and boy my friend do we get the action and action and did i say there was action. Isaac Florentine makes sure the action is shot well and we see all the fights in all their glory and the movie mixes good martial arts and boxing and just good direction (the fight choreographer is J.J. 'Loco' Perry who really delivers the goods so much that it compares to some hong kong movies which you know it means it must be good) and the fights are kinda short but boy do they deliver the goods. On my last point why is this director Issac Florentine not better known, I mean i know this director and i know that all his films are lower budget than Hollywood movies are and maybe they suffer from some acting problems and some other issues but they deliver the good with great martial arts and gun battles and Issac is one of the only director in Hollywood that knows how to shoot action ( no camera just jumping around YOU HEAR THAT Micheal BAY). I hope his next movie which looks freaking awesome will be great and it also stars Scott Adkins which should if all things go right could be his big break through. On final point go watch Undisputed 2 because it is one of the best diect to video movies ever and really this movie should have been in theatres and not that so called movie which is called i think Transformers 2 (i mean really the make up budget for Megan Fox on Transformers 2 probably costed more money than the whole budget of Undisputed 2) Undisputed 2 get a B+ or A- So there Thank You

Michael White takes over from Ving Rhames in 2002's UNDISPUTED, to play a former boxing champ, "Iceman" Chambers, who finds himself locked up in a Russian prison on phony charges. The purpose is to get Chambers to fight the prison's undisputed champ, a big bully of a guy named Uri Boyka (impressively played by Brit thesp Scott Adkins). Boyka fights with both hands and feet, so Chambers must learn to fight the same way. He takes lessons from a fellow convict, an old Russian general (played by Eli Danker) who is confined to a wheelchair but whose mind remains razor-sharp. This film, like the original, is heavily padded with sporadic fight scenes and other bits of business like Chambers ending up in solitary with rats for cell mates and later being staked out in the bitter-cold prison yard. The ring matches are the best part of the movie, and are amazingly staged and edited. In fact, they are better than those in the first movie, although UNDISPUTED 2 feels like a TV movie. I imagine it was an STV, since there are no big names in it.
