 'Undisputed' leaves little room for argument or quality - Entertainment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Eager to prove his status in the pen, Chambers confronts the Zen-like Monroe Hutchen, played by Wesley Snipes, whose peaceful exterior hides the fact that he's been the inter-penetentiary boxing champ for the last 10 years.
Naturally, the big fight between the "Iceman" and Hutchen is the last of the film and somehow an imprisoned elderly mob boss (Peter Falk, who manages to spew more expletives in a sentence than in all his John Cassavetes' films combined) arranges to take in $5 million worth of bets from the outside.
In Undisputed, Rhames once again shows his dramatic flair, but is much too smart to play a thug like George Chambers, or at least wasn't given enough room to create a character as deliciously evil as his take on Don King or physically intimidating as he was in last year's underappreciated Baby Boy.
