Entertainment Weekly
Undisputed is a shrewd and splendidly volatile B movie structured around a highly original gambit of suspense. - 80
Variety
With Undisputed, writer-director Walter Hill is back in contention as one of Hollywood's last defenders of the muscular, no-nonsense genre movie. - 75
Chicago Tribune
There'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. - 67
Portland Oregonian
It's professional, smart, quick-footed and snappy -- enviable traits in both a prizefighter and a nice little B-movie. - 63
Charlotte Observer
An 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." - 60
The New York Times
Lacks 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. - 50
ReelViews
The 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. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
Has 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.
