Russian inmate Boyka, now severely hobbled by the knee injury suffered at the end of Undisputed 2. No longer the feared prison fighter he was, he has declined so far that he is now good only for cleaning toilets. But when a new prison fight tournament begins - an international affair, matching the best fighters from prisons around the globe, enticing them with the promise of freedom for the winner - Boyka must reclaim his dignity and fight for his position in the tournament Boyka is back. This time he is fighting in the first ever inter-prison tournament with one knee. In the follow-up movie to the cringe-worthy original movie and a gut-wrenching second part we have a change of hero. Here we follow Yuri Boyka (Scott Adkins of Barakapool and "Ninja" fame), the ultimate loser of the Undisputed final bout. With his leg injured he has been relegated to being a toilet cleaner, falling down the prison hierarchy to the very bottom. Despite his obvious weakness he never gives up and decides to reenter the ring. After beating the current prison champion it turns out that his next destination will be a world-wide tournament between inmates from several continents. Amongst them talkative American Turbo (Mykel Shannon Jenkins) and Colombian bad-ass Dolor (Marko Zaror, best known from the exquisite "Mirageman" movie).<br/><br/>Personally I'm not a big fan of such testosterone-charged tournament fight movies. Nonetheless I try to pinch a bit of everything and heard great things about the series. Admitedly it didn't turn out to be my flavour of fights, but the gritty high-octane brutality coupled with some immensely sound acting forced me to hand out a decent grade to this movie. The action and fighting is top notch, although some may flinch given every hit and crack sends shivers down the spine given its realism.<br/><br/>Both Jenkins and Adkins do great as the leads of the movie (the latter benefiting from playing a semi-illiterate introverted tough-guy), while supporting cast (including Mark Ivanir and Roberto Costanzo) never cause any hindrance to the story (however rudimentary it may be). We end up with a Molotov cocktail made from all the right proportions. If this is what you ordered than expect the rapturous fulfilment of expectations. One of the best things about the Undisputed series is that each sequel gets better, and this is no exception it may be direct to DVD but that means nothing of the quality of the film.<br/><br/>Scott Adkins returns As Yuri Boyka, in the series tradition of having the Antagonist of the previous film becoming the Protagonist of the next, this film turns Boyka from a Fighter who just wants to prove he's the best, to one who wants to redeem himself and prove he's worth something.<br/><br/>In the secondary role is Mykel Shannon Jenkins As turbo, and whilst unlike the previous films in which the second billed is the villain, Turbo has his own story which is well crafted and sympathetic, and it's implied he was framed and wants out of prison so he can see his kids again.<br/><br/>The film gets rid of Big named actors and uses Actors who know how to fight and don't require stunt men for the action sequences, the fight scenes are beautifully choreographed with some of the best stunt work put to film and each of the actors knows what they're doing, as each fighter uses a different fighting style for diversity.<br/><br/>if you're sick of poor and fake fighting in films I would highly recommend this masterpiece.
