Undisputed III: Redemption

A great movie for all martial arts fans.

Boyka, who suffered a defeat in the last match and seriously injured his knee, is now trying to return to the ring. He will fight in an international prison tournament.

The film is excellently directed. The fight scenes are great, it's a film that resembles the excellent films we saw in the eighties and nineties.

Scott Adkins is an excellent action actor, he doesn't need a stuntman, he does all the scenes himself, which definitely makes the director's job easier.

The characters are fun, interesting, and Boyka, who when he first appeared in the franchise, looked like a villain, and here you can see that it's not quite that simple.

The fights look fantastic, fast, energetic and brutal. Scott Adkins was underrated, although I feel like he still is, he should get more recognition as an action star because he's really great at what he does, and he's not a bad actor at all.

What is also interesting about this film is that the level of acting is actually quite good and this is reflected in the overall quality of the film. There are a few fun characters in the film and that only adds to its appeal. Undisputed III: Redemption is the best part of the franchise for me.

An excellent martial arts film that is definitely worth watching.

I am not going to say too much about the movie because I don't want to present any "spoilers," but I have to say this is one of the top action movies out, although very under the radar.

I first watched Undisputed I without ever knowing what it was, just saw it lying around at my friends house and watched it. It caught me completely off guard. Then I watched the second and I just finished the third. It seems like as far as the plots and action sequences go, they keep getting better. The fighting moves or sequences they perform in this movie are crazy! One of the main reasons I love this film. The also, completely capture what Americans think of when we think of a Russian prison. Very accurate to what I picture in my mind.

The acting is rather good in this movie, in my opinion. Sure there are some cheesy comments but every movie has them. My only wish is that they would put Jason Statham in one of these movies. But I have to say I was more than pleased that they brought Boyka back to fight, since he lost in the last movie.

Overall, very good movie if you are into movies like Bloodsport, or Kickboxer. I LOVED Bloodsport, and I was impressed how they copied Bloodsport as far as how the movie was set up, but was still so creative about the actual story line. Didn't take a ton of special effects and sex scenes to make it a great movie, the fighting was just phenomenal.

With a movie from direct-to-DVD kings Nu Image/Millennium Pictures, you know that you'll at least get good production values. When one of their movies has Isaac Florentine as the director, you know you are going to get some spectacular action sequences. Needless to say, "Undisputed III" has both of those things. I will admit that the script is pretty standard for this kind of thing - we never really get into the head of the protagonist and learn what is driving him, the bad guys also have no real personality, and how a couple of the characters managed to get together in the last few minutes of the movie is never explained. But we don't watch movies like this primarily for the writing. We watch them because we want some good action, and this movie without doubt has that. The fights are really spectacular, with Florentine using a perfect combination of expert choreography, good direction (the camera steps back enough so we see all of the fighters in the fights), and occasional and effective use of slow motion. I've enjoyed all the "Undisputed" movies, and if they make a fourth entry in the series, I'll definitely be there.

Unlike any other martial arts movie, this one pushs the style to the edge, from bad to good, from weak to strong, Boyka's character leaves no clues on Scott Adkins. As much as it is a simple idea as much as the adreline never stops in this movie. This movie left a mark in the history of martial arts movies, and yet it never gets old. "this is the most complete mma movie in the world".

Scott Adkins is bad ass here. This role gets him well, better then fancy good boy from Ninja. He is turned from the villain of the Undisputed II to the flawed and angry main character of this one. You will enjoy him and supporting actors; Mykel Shannon Jenkins aka Turbo and Mark Ivanir as Gaga.

For once, not the average crap of usual action movie "alone against the world". This time, you are spared of usual "my brother died", or "I am in prison for wrong reason". All characters are flawed like in real life. I didn't yawn during dialogue or didn't for one moment seem the action come to stale. This is a packed with action movie about an international prison mma tournament.

Fighting scenes are superb done for a low budged movie made in post communist industrial bankruptcy of Eastern Europe.

All in all a good movie, good script , decent acting and again superb fights. Unexpected well done : 7/10.
