Two of Hollywood's hottest stars -- Wesley Snipes (BLADE 1&2, PASSENGER 57) and Ving Rhames (PULP FICTION, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 1&2) -- go head-to-head in this explosive crime thriller! When the world's heavyweight champion (Rhames) is sent to prison, everything points to an inevitable showdown with the penitentiary's undefeated champ (Snipes). But to make sure the meeting will happen, a former mob boss (Peter Falk -- TV's COLUMBO, CORKY ROMANO) must call in favors from the outside world. Then the battle is on ... and the action, adrenaline, and intensity switch into high gear! Also featuring Master P (RHYME & REASON, I GOT THE HOOK-UP) and Ed Lover (RIDE) -- this powerfully entertaining motion picture is another crowd-pleaser from the hit-making director of 48 HRS., ANOTHER 48 HRS., and LAST MAN STANDING!

Summary: Straight Up Fight Film
Comment: This is a straight up fight film with a simple new twist, it takes place in a prison.
I always enjoy seeing Peter Falk, and the character he plays as the gangster is great.
Once the stage is set, you pick your favorite to win and watch as the fight unfolds.
Great entertainment.

Summary: Delivers what it promises...
Comment: If you're a fan of either boxing or prison movies, or both, this a good pic for you. Fans of Peter Falk may want to check this out also... as he revisits his classic hard-boiled, wizened old guy role, this time in a much-aged version. The film wins points for being straight-forward and to the point... while still leaving ambiguities that keep it interesting and true-to-life, like what really happened with Ice Man's "he said" "she said" court case. The characters are presented simply, true-ly, and without a lot of bs or fluff. The filming and shoots are well-done, the characters and scenes believable. The action is linear and satisfying, and the film ends on a fine note. The only weakness is in the scene of the final fight. The fight is not interesting; except for the final few moments, you can hardly make out what they're doing, and it's not very dramatic. But overall, I would recommend this to fans of this genre.

Summary: If You Need This DVD, Buy It For Less Than $5.00!
Comment: Like I said, if you need this DVD, make sure you get a cheap used copy. The story & theme is a rehash of other movies, but if you take this movie with a grain of salt (In other words...don't have HIGH expectations!!), you might enjoy it. Welsey Snipes & Ving Rhames together in a boxing / prison movie with a touch of Mafia...the mere thought is laughable (so is the fairy tale "he lived happily ever after" ending!! LOL), but I found the movie mildly entertaining, and shoot the price was right. On a scale of 1-5, I give the movie 2.5 stars, but it's not bad for the price. Let's hope 'Undisputed 2' is much better...that shouldn't be too hard!
Peace, SD

Summary: I really like this movie....
Comment: Okay, i first saw this movie on cable and since they keep showing it every couple of months, i've probably seen it a total of 4 times. And i have to say...I really like this movie. I'm not a boxing fan, nor am i a fan of prison movies, but there's something about watching Wesley Snipes' understated performance as Huchens that captures my attention. I also enjoyed the side characters (Falk as Mendy is hilarious) and it's their interaction with one another (Snipes and his sidekick Ratbag...lol...Rhames and his cellmate...what's his name?... bad guy from Last Mohicans...oh yeah...Studi) that really make the movie. Needless to say, i don't want to wait for cable to show it again, i'm gonna buy the *^%$! DVD.
