Eight elite fighters - prisoners from maximum security prisons around the world - are brought together by a powerful underground gambling syndicate for a secret, survival-of-the-fiercest battle competition. With the odds against him overwhelming, Boyka will take on the syndicate his way and send the whole scheme crashing down around them. 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. "Undisputed III: Redemption" is just as well made as the 2nd one.<br/><br/>Boyka (Adkins) is still in jail after the fight with Chambers (played by Michael Jai White). Chambers destroyed his knee. All Boyka wants to do is fight again. "I am the most complete fighter." he keeps telling himself.<br/><br/>Luckily, there is a new ultimate fighting tournament in Russia, called the "Prison Spetz Competition": where they get the best fighters in the country to fight for their freedom. It is run by the corrupt guards of the prison and the mob.<br/><br/>Boyka is desperate to get in and after he barely beats a fellow prisoner, he is let into the competition…but the guards and the mob have rigged the event for the dangerous Colombian fighter to win and Boyka to lose.<br/><br/>Can Boyka win the tournament against all the odds? The best parts of the movie are the fighting sequences. They are excellently choreographed and brutal.<br/><br/>You can almost feel every punch and kick, because this is a punch-fighting movie, the plot is basically predictable and some of the acting is amateurish.<br/><br/>Scott Adkins' fighting skills are amazing in this. He executes one kick towards the end that is just devastating.<br/><br/>"Undisputed III" is one of the best DTV fighting movies in a long time and i definitely recommend it.<br/><br/>For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
