With flashbulb editing as cover for the absence of narrative continuity, Undisputed is nearly incoherent, an excuse to get to the closing bout ... by which time it's impossible to care who wins.

Dan Fienberg, L.A. Weekly
Rotten

Hill looks to be going through the motions, beginning with the pale script.

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

Walter Hill's prison-boxing flick Undisputed could have been a great B, but it represents a failure of nerve.

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Fresh

A shrewd and splendidly volatile B movie structured around a highly original gambit of suspense.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten

If Hill isn't quite his generation's Don Siegel (or Robert Aldrich), it's because there's no discernible feeling beneath the chest hair; it's all bluster and cliche.

Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
