Undisputed III

Uh-oh.

I've grown up watching action movies. And fighting action movies have always found a soft spot on my heart. So has this one come to fill a spot that has been vacant for quite some time? Yes it has.

First of all the Undisputed series is not very well known. Why? Because all of them went straight to video. And that's a shame because these are some of the most entertaining fighting action movies I've seen in a long time.

The story? Not really important but ok. Our hero, Boika (Scott Adkins), a russian prisoner who believes he is the most complete fighter in the world, was the villain in Undisputed II. At the end of that movie he got his right knee broken and bent backwards (sorry about the spoiller). And now he needs to win a fighting tournament, why? As he so eloquently puts it "I have to win." plain and simple(imagine that as an american trying to play a russian speaking english, ok?). The tournament, of course, is filled with fighters from a variety of styles.

I'll be the first to say that acting is not Scott Adkins forté, but he does a good job as Boyka. I will also say this, when it comes to fighting, and looking good while you do it, this guy rules (seriously, search for his name on youtube and you'll see). His spinning kicks put Van Damme's famous kicks to shame. Sure they are too acrobatic to be really useful in a fight but who cares! They look awesome!!! And part of the reason why it looks awesome is due to the excellent work of the director Isaac Florentine and fight choreographer Larnell Stovall. Looking forward to see their work on other movies.

In short it's a light movie, story wise, with amazing fighting scenes.

So is it good and does it entertain? Yes and yes! Bring the popcorn and coke for this one!
