The second of the UNDISPUTED franchise, LAST MAN STANDING sees B-movie action specialist Isaac Florentine taking over from Walter Hill for what is a very different beast to the first. Gone are that film's cast, with Michael Jai White playing the hulking hero and taking over from Ving Rhames who played the same character in the first. It's still about martial arts tournaments in a Russian prison, but otherwise it's all change. The emphasis is on staging a series of brutal fight scenes both inside and outside of the ring, and they feature violent hits and extreme choreography. They're fantastic, to put it simply, and they help to lift what is otherwise an average plot and storyline into something special. Jai White is okay as the hero, although his character is perhaps a bit too hard to be very sympathetic, but then-newcomer Scott Adkins is the stand-out as his opponent, the Russian beast Boyka. It's amazing what Adkins does with his role here - his introduction in the ring alone had my eyes popping out of my head - and he would carry on the story with a further two sequels in which he would become the redemptive protagonist.

Some years after fighting Monroe "Undisputed" Hutchens in prison, former boxing champion George "Iceman" Chambers visits the Russian Federation for a series of boxing matches, where he is subsequently framed for possession of cocaine and once again sent to prison. There, he discovers a series of illegal mixed martial arts matches dominated by inmate Yuri Boyka. The prison officials arrange these fights and place large side-bets to make a personal profit, often at the expense of the fighters. Chambers shares a cell with Steven Parker, a British junkie.Mob boss Gaga and Warden Markov tell Chambers that if he fights Boyka, he will likely get an expedited appeal and early release. Chambers initially refuses, but after spending time in demeaning physical labor in the prison's sewer system and experiencing firsthand the brutality of the guards, he reluctantly agrees. He is rescued from both forms of humiliation by a wheelchair-bound inmate named Crot. Both fighters train hard for the match, though Chambers still relies on his boxing background while Boyka prepares a series of deadly kicks, throws, and grappling combinations designed to humiliate his opponent in the ring. Prior to the fight however, Boyka's gang force Steven, who is acting as Chambers' cornerman, to spike his water with a light sedative during the fight.

Michael jai white should be as famous as van damme and tony ja. He definitely under rated. I don't think hes the best actor but when it comes to action; this man delivers in all his movies even SPAWN; if you remember that movie. SCOTT Atkins did good as well. I became a fan of his instantly after this film. I watch some of his other films as well but his acting was too off. However his roll as Boyka in this movie and especially Undisputed Part 3 was PERFECT. His accent was well played off. I could not believe he talks American in his regular voice. The story in this movie was different and easy to follow. I give a 10 just because of that. Its not the same oh same oh. If you like martial arts Scott and Michael did their thing in this one. If you are not familiar with either of these two, you will be after watching this one.

I caught this movie one late Sunday night on TV. And i must admit I was not expecting much. Anyway to the point. This movie is pretty damn good. Not to much riff raff Hollywood dialogues which is a saving grace is this genre. Though make no mistake the movie follows the same predictable formula. Though mind you it is got some slick action scenes and also some pretty cool bad Russian accents. Which in my book is some comic relief of the movie. Think of it like this. If you are male (or female who likes action movies. sorry) Have a hour or so to burn Want some light entertainment Then this fits the bill. Enjoy it. Like i said it is not as bad as you think!
