Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Awesome Movie
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
The premise of these films is rather simple, to be the best you have to beat the best. After being severely defeated in the second film and utterly broken Yuri Boyka has been resorted to cleaning toilets and less than a man. He still has the fire, the drive and wants to fight. He may have been the antagonist in the 2nd film but here he is the hero and you truly feel for him. I walked in not having much faith in a 3rd film but they delivered with the action and fight sequences. The performances were nothing short of dull as acting goes but the choreography and skill set these fighters possess is second to none. Overall a decent fighting film but that is about it. I give this a 6 out of 10
So the third film in the Undisputed film series is the best martial arts film flick in my opinion that was released in the last years. I am really not big fan of the Undisputed films. The first one I really don't care about Walter Hill and Wesley Snipes film that I don't care. The second one was about the same character from the first film George Chambers who was played by Ving Rhames but was then replaced by Michael Jai White. So anyway I got this movie on Blu-ray and I love this film to death. This is the only Undisputed film I have because of Scott Adkins I am a hug fan of the actor and I think Yuri Boyka is his best role. The reason I did not get Undisputed II: Last Man Standing on Blu-ray was because I did not like Scott Adkins a bad guy and he lost a fight on the end but still the second one was a really good movie.Undisputed III: Redemption is the best sequel, better story, the fights scene's are practical well done. This movie is f***** awesome it kicks the sh** out of Bloodsport III, Bloodsport III sucked Undisputed III: Redemption is the best of the best martial arts tournament movie in the last years.This series goes with lower and lower budget, but it gets (a lot) better and better. There is no wire, no fake, all real actions. The fight scenes are unbelievable, the story is good as well. Action movies usually don't get good ratings, but Undisputed III: Redemption is surprisingly inspiring. It's like dark version of Rocky, other than that, you can see the change of Boyka and what makes him stronger. The characteristic of Boyka is quite impressive.There was also the reason I just didn't like Boyka: Undisputed IV, because this film ended perfectly and it really did not need another sequel.Russian inmate Boyka, now severely hobbled by the knee injury suffered at the end of Undisputed 2.

This movie in the series is my favorite film of all time I love it. This is Scott Adkins film and not Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, Hard Target 2 or the next Undisputed sequel this movie kicks ass. It is well acted from all the actors: Mark Ivanir as Gaga from the second film also returns which I am happy.I love the prison setting and mostly I love the soundtracks score for this film: Jess Willard - I'm Still Standing and Max Boogie Overdrive - I Smell Blood those two songs are great songs used in this film. Bring It On was also used from the second film in this that I like that film.There is like everything I love about this film. I love that Boyka does everything in this film to win and regain his honor. Mykel Shannon Jenkins was also good as Turbo, Boyka's friend and a cell mate I love the chemistry between them.The rating get's 10/10 my favorite personal martial arts flick.Undisputed III: Redemption is the third installment in franchise started by the 2002 action film Undisputed.10/10 Grade: Bad Ass Seal Of Approval Studio: Nu Image Starring: Scott Adkins, Mykel Shannon Jenkins, Mark Ivanir, Hristo Shopov, Robert Costanzo, Marko Zaror Director: Isaac Florentine Producer: Israel Ringel Writter: David N.

Adkins returns as Boyka, the prisoner who is an ace mixed martial arts fighter. He is nursing his knee which was broken by Michael Jay White at the end of the second part. He takes part in the local prison competition and predictably wins. Then he is send off for an "inter prison MMA" tournament wherein the winner will walk free. I must admit that this is the only part of the trilogy which I enjoyed. There is a modicum of effort which has gone on in the development of characters. True, the focus is still on the fight. However, there are scenes which show the development of camaraderie between Adkins and Jenkins who plays an American fighter. The fight sequences are choreographed superbly and are total value for money. The movie does not bore you. The ending is unintentionally laugh out loud. The acting and direction is above average. The background score is good. 3 out of 5 for the Undisputed 3. Watch it for Adkins and the action scenes. Some of the punches will take your breath away.
You can not dispute the franchise. It is getting better and better. If you are looking for a sensible and twisted plot then you should go somewhere else. This movie has a good story too. But it is predictable. But overall the story is good with some twist and turn. The only thing that stands out in this movie is the fighting scene. All the fighting scene in this movies are amazing. From the beginning till the end. The characters chosen are really good to. It suits their personality. But, the only character stands out in the movie is "DOLOR". This guy is freaking badass. He is lighting fast, and has a touch of innocence when he recites Biblical verses. I hope he gets a chance in the future to show his talents. I watched the fighting scene more than 10 times. The only time i did that when I watch IP Man (1&2). Then I changed my rating from 8 to 9. Cause the fighting scene are extraordinary.
