Fresh and Exciting

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

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!

spoilers are not about the plot.apparently people on IMDb don't care if the fights scenes are sped up. like (dacascos) drive, this movie fizzled every time a fight happened, due to sped up photography that makes everything feel phony...and comedic. just look at the crowd in the background-- they move like limited 70s animation.the narrative works better than i was expecting, and has a few touching moments, but every fight scene is disappointing. jump cuts hide missed impacts. slow motion and undercranking hide the speed of the live performance.adkins is an amazing kicker with great form, but the moment i see a bunch of sped up stuff, i'd rather be watching buster keaton or harold lloyd than a martial arts movie.

This is one of those movies where the sequel is better than the original. This sequel has everything from the fight sequences to the characters done much better than the first "Undisputed". Everything is just more engaging and entertaining to watch compared to the first movie. I just don't get why they had to use the character George "Iceman" Chambers from the first movie in this one who was first played by Ving Rhames. The premise of the same character going back to prison I sort of found kinda dumb, but at least this time it's played by Michael Jai White. Now I am not a big fan of this actor but I liked his presence in some of his past action movies. The fight cinematography and fight choreography is really well done in this one compared to the first movie as well. Another positive is how it has mixed martial arts instead of just boxing. The story this time around however is more ridiculous, but if you look pass this you will probably have some good fun watching this.6.8/10
