Adkins shows off great range as the hard-man hero and his character arc is solid. It's very similar in tone to Van Damme's excellent A.W.O.L. I found this to be the best of the series thus far, purely because it has more heart to it and the presence of a woman in the cast (gasp!) turns out to be an asset rather than a detraction. Although Isaac Florentine wasn't able to come back and direct, the Russian guy they found does a top job and the action choreography is as good as ever. The story is set outside of a prison now so the plot is more gangster themed, but don't fear, there's still a sequence of splendid ring fights that don't disappoint. The plot is a little different this time around and much more character-focused as Boyka finds religion and attempts to make amends for a past transgression. BOYKA is the fourth of the UNDISPUTED franchise and once again sees Scott Adkins reprising his role as the unimitable Yuri Boyka, 'most complete fighter in the world'.
