A spin-off in the
Undisputed movie universe.
Featuring a
Russian-accented Scott Atkins, one of my favourite actors of all time, someone
who makes every fake punch look good.
Intricate MMA-inspired
choreography to rival the Raid, flawlessly captured with wide angles. The
fighting segments are pleasantly split up by romance and gangster themes.
Highly artistic and
classical colour schemes, with strong contrasts and unquestionable
colour-washing. Editing is exemplarily crisp, with masterful control over
pacing.
The raw and winding
tale is enacted by a middling and untested mostly-Russian cast that sets a dark
tone with strong consistency. Although the audio score is beneficially accomplished, small inadequacies pop up a few times.
Sprinkled with masculine
dramatics, Boyka Undisputed hits the gas from the go and never lets up. A
thrilling, unflawed masterclass of action cinema.
