Fantastic!
The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
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!
I enjoy this sequel much more than the original. It's one of the rare sequels that is better than the original. It's cheap, but the quality is so good that it doesn't matter. This isn't your usual run of the mill STV trash. I firmly believe that this could have easily gone to theaters. It's ridiculous how we get so much garbage coming to theaters, yet good films like this don't get to go in theaters. If you're looking for good fights, you'll get that. If you're looking for a solid story, you'll get that too. It's really moving at times as well. The ending will have even the manliest of guys get teary eyed. The performances are solid. Michael Jai White is very good as Chambers. I felt he was the perfect replacement for Wesley Snipes. He's cocky, a bit of a bully, but he has a good heart, and most importantly, he's a badass. Scott Adkins is excellent as Boyka. He is so intense. Whenever I watch this movie, It's a bit strange to see him as a villain since Boyka becomes a hero in the third movie. He wasn't a total villain. Both Chambers and Boyka have reputations on the line. The fights between Adkins and Jai White deliver in a big way. Both Adkins and Jai White are ridiculously agile. Ben Cross actually plays somebody likable for once. I enjoyed his performance. Eli Danker is excellent in his role. I enjoyed his relationship and chemistry with Jai White. If you think all movies that go straight to video suck, you'd be wrong. This movie proves that's not true. Martial art fans or people who just love fights will enjoy this one.7.5/10
Great film. Excellent action. Nothing Over the top like the third part.It has even got a decent story.One can be sure of that when MJW is around. His role is as usual dominating and the only time he loses is when he is drugged .:D Scott Adkins was the hero of third part but here he is the villain . The film showed how boxing is a limited sport in free style fight. I liked that. The climax is superb and MJW displayed some amazing Muay Thai moves . I am slowly becoming his fan :DAnother interesting thing to observe is it endorses the same TDKR's "fear as a motivation" philosophy (towards the climax) and this came way back in 2006. I had said during my TDKR review that there is nothing new in Nolans philosophy and it had been shown in many movies before. This is one among them.There is this clichéd I have observed in all prison-based films. There will always be a creepy old bearded man who always gives some philosophical lectures and motivates the hero to get out of it. But he himself doesn't try it ever ;)
I'm not into these "open up a can of whoop-ass on the bad guy" flicks, but there is an element of this movie that caused me to use it as training for my officers when I was a sergeant as a prison. It is the very real depiction of an offender who is often abused and used. Ben Cross played that character (Stevie Parker) and did it to perfection. Every expression, every step taken on the recreation yard or in the chow hall was very convincing. That was so well written I gave it a 9.Then you have more types of conflict than the actual fighting. Man vs. Self...Man vs. man...etc...This is a film I highly recommend to anyone working in a correctional facility for that reason alone. THAT aspect of the story, as well as the dirty officers and such was handled VERY well by the writers. It also beats those lame-ass state training videos too because it actually depicts what an officer SHOULD be watching for. It is set in another country, but the issues are the same.I am grateful that I saw it!
