- 83Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanUndisputed is a shrewd and splendidly volatile B movie structured around a highly original gambit of suspense.
- 80VarietyRobert KoehlerVarietyRobert KoehlerWith Undisputed, writer-director Walter Hill is back in contention as one of Hollywood's last defenders of the muscular, no-nonsense genre movie.
- 75Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonChicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThere's no denying that Undisputed delivers the action-movie goods, and so do Snipes and Rhames. It should have been more memorable, but at least it doesn't stumble in the ring.
- 67Portland OregonianShawn LevyPortland OregonianShawn LevyIt's professional, smart, quick-footed and snappy -- enviable traits in both a prizefighter and a nice little B-movie.
- 63Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanCharlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanAn unassuming, brief and cheaply entertaining boxing movie. It's long on punching and short on character, but you wouldn't go to a Hill movie to see "Raging Bull."
- 60The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe New York TimesA.O. ScottLacks more than subtext: it barely has text. At times, the picture seems to have been edited with a blowtorch. But it gets the job done efficiently and swiftly.
- 50ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe film has two highlights -- a profanity-laced monologue by Peter Falk about boxing and the one-on-one confrontation between Monroe and Chambers in the ring.
- 50San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSan Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleHas a certain B-movie integrity -- a muscular commitment to grabbing the viewer's eye and keeping things moving. It won't win any awards, but it holds interest.
- 30Wall Street JournalWall Street JournalMr. Snipes and Mr. Rhames get credit at least for doing their own stunts. By the middle of the film, viewers will take a certain satisfaction in each punch that lands on either of them.
