No spoilers I love the Undisputed Series and I decided to make an account for the first time for the new one. I must say is a good addition but not as great as 2 and 3. There are good fight scenes but it lacked the intensity and emotion of what made the series. Scott Adkins was made for Boyka and they should make one more to finish the franchise with maybe MJW rematch. My vote 7/10 for the fight scenes but dull plot and cause Boyka is great!!!

Great. Having seen the previous films this film lives up to its predecessors and it does well at delivering action packed excitement. Boykas character development was great.
I am a big fan of these movies but I had a bit of apprehension as the same director wasn't doing this movie but I thought I would still watch it. I was shocked to see an eight vote out of ten when the movie hasn't even come out, but we all know about fake votes just to get people to watch a film. As with a lot of cheaply made films, the main bad guy, Martin Ford in this case, is given no lines, unlike the previous two films. Your typical cheap movie bad guy, grunts and groans his scenes through. Also unlike the past two movies, Martin Ford is not a fighter, yes a big guy who looks scary but his fight scenes then suffer as he is given dreadful techniques to do in the fights. Scott does what he does best as with the rest of the movies and this will just be another stepping block for him. He's good but in this it feels as if it is another film that will not take into the big league which is a shame. Will they make another one, yes as these are his best films to date, his style of fighting suits these movies, so we will all wait for the next one and let's just hope they learn from their mistakes. There are plenty of martial artists out there that can do a good job of being a bad guy. The ending of this movie feels a little pushed as they didn't know what to do with the character. My score is a forced six as I am a fan of the movies, but most people would give it an honest five.

Boyka Undisputed was worth the wait. Unlike many fight movies this movie have a heart. This is one of the best fight movie of the decade and the best of the year, which had movies like Kickboxer: Vengeance which was an utter disappointment.
Moreover the character of Boyka has been molded so wonderfully that you can feel the pain of the character when he tries to smile and feel his rage in silence.
Scott Adkins has done an a wonderful job and Boyka is a piece of art. The best part is this isn't just a Fight movie... Every now and then there, when you are unprepared and unguarded this movie hits you in such soft parts that you might tear up too.
Nobody ever thought that Undisputed would later create an antagonist named 'Boyka' who would be loved so much that his name would come before the name of the actual movie i.e UNDISPUTED.

Boyka returns as the most complete fighter in the world in the third sequel to this underrated action packed franchise that really came out of nowhere in the early 2000's. The latest delivers on the testosterone driven, bone breaking action you would expect with Adkins delivering on the solid fight and stunt choreography which is captured by amazing camera work. The kind of which is sorely missing from most mainstream Hollywood shaky cam, CGI driven action films. The latest sequel does have quite a crazy looking, roided out freak of nature as a main villain which definitely makes for a great looking bad guy and final fight scene. Overall, a bad ass, barebones B-action movie that doesn't disappoint. Fans of parts II and III will definitely enjoy and along with John Wick 2 and Logan will be among my favorite action films of the year.
7/10.

Saw this on a dvd which I own. In fact i own the dvds of all the parts now.
The summary- After the events of Undisputed Redemption, Boyka has found religion. He still fights in the ring but donates most of the profits to the church. He has spent a lot of money to repair his broken knee but events force him to travel back to Russia where he is a wanted convict. This movie is for the fans of the series n fans of Boyka aka Adkins. Martial arts fans will not be disappointed. The fight sequences are frequent and never, ever become tiresome. Scott Adkins once again got into the skin of the character.
The villain, Martyn Ford is an intimidating one with height of 6.8 n weight of 320 lbs. Truly an indomitable n an invincible one.
The plot is a bit lame. The mafia boss who owns the town n he has his eye on a young n beautiful widow who is in debt.
But who cares. We look forward for this franchise for Boyka's kicks n boy what an awesome fight choreography we get to see in this 4th installment. Isaac Florentine who directed the terrific Undisputed 2 n 3 n Savate didn't direct this one. Inspite of the micro budget, this movie rocks.

In the fourth installment of the fighting franchise, Boyka is shooting for the big leagues when an accidental death in the ring makes him question everything he stands for.
For being the fourth film in a series, this is actually a rather good movie. Perhaps it might be dismissed as just a fight movie, particularly one from Bulgaria of all places (who knew they even made films there?). But there is not only some great martial arts, but actually a rather interesting plot.
This is really a story about redemption, sacrifice and penance. Now, it could be seen as contrived, but it never really came across in that way for me. Certainly an interesting character in a unique situation.

This B-movie got some nice fights and like other martial arts movies there is terrible acting and story line going on as tradition is in these all out testosteron flicks.
But actually it almost becomes a comedy when the actors speak, i had some good laughs.
My expectations weren't high so i wasn't disappointed and enjoyed watching the movie.

First I am a real reviewer and a big fan of 80's action movies.
Now the plot is easy to follow. Boyka is back, commits an atrocity and needs to fix what he has done to redeem himself. That is all you need to know. The movie does have some heart during his redemption. A lot of flash, but also moments where you feel for Boyka and his journey.
I do not know the director's work prior to watching this, but he did a great job of filming action scenes. A lot of movies break the action up by changing the camera angles. This movie tones that down and lets you watch the action taking place.
I miss the days of real action movies. I will sound repetitive but this movie has lots of action, fights, fast moving plot and great choreography.
B-Movie or not, the movie is a 9.5. I am a fan of the Undisputed series. Scott Adkins is excellent and the bad guys are bad, and the good guys(Adkins) aren't perfect. The movie has heart and has a great pace. It's not slow, and is very entertaining throughout. One of the best modern fighting movies and dare I say the best fighting franchise if that is a genre. A must watch is my opinion.

While not as good as the previous entry, 'Undisputed: Fight For Freedom' (or 'Boyka: Undisputed IV' depending on where you live) is another surprisingly decent film. Much like its protagonist, the 'Undisputed' franchise is an underdog that refuses to stay down. Other action series may have bigger budgets, more famous names and better publicity, but there's something reliably entertaining about these films. They're stripped back and efficient movies, with plenty of bone-crunching fight scenes and the fourth doesn't disappoint.
This one tells the story of what happens to Yuri Boyka (Scott Adkins) after his escape from the Russian prison system in the previous film. Trying to rebuild his life in Ukraine, things turn sour when he takes part in an MMA fight and accidentally kills his opponent. Wanting to make amends, he tracks down the fighter's widow, only to discover she's in debt to the Russian mob. In an attempt to help her and ease his conscience, Boyka agrees to take part in more illegal fights, leading "the most complete fighter in the world" to once again have to smack the living daylights out of several people.
It's a bit disappointing that neither Mykel Shannon Jenkins nor Marko Zaror return, but otherwise the fourth Undisputed doesn't put a foot wrong. The Earth's gravitational pull once again decides to go easy on Scott Adkins and he continues to leap through the air, delivering bone-crunching kicks to heads and chests in the increasingly violent fight scenes. It's also the first time that the climactic fisticuffs spill out of the ring; Boyka's brawl with the cartoonishly oversized Koshmar (Martyn Ford) turns into a baseball bat rampage through a nightclub, the stoic Russian hero using a gun for the first time as he battles his way to the End Of Movie Boss.
If there's one criticism to be had, it's that 'Fight For Freedom' doesn't have a genuinely stand-out fight - there's nothing to match the dizzy heights of the Alain Moussi versus Dave Batista scene from the 'Kickboxer' remake for instance. However, the punch-ups are all reliably entertaining and it's hard not to cheer for Boyka as he continues to overcome the odds. His relationship with Alma (Teodora Duhovnikova) meanwhile is quite touching, even if she doesn't get much to do besides wait to be rescued and shout at him occasionally.
At the time of writing this is the last film in the series, but even after four similar movies, 'Undisputed' doesn't feel like it's overstayed its welcome. This is a movie where gore and sweat fly in slow motion as chiselled, ultra-men beat one another into bloody messes and it's never boring. As the years go by, 'Undisputed 5' seems less likely but if this is the finale, it's a good one to go out on.

Somehow there were no expectations high for this movie, which in part may have saved the viewing experience.
That's quite a case for Scott Adkins. I don't know about the actor's gifts now, but that quarrel .. beautiful to watch, especially brutal in this movie, looking successful. On the other hand, the grade consists almost entirely of this part.
Entertaining brutal wrestling in the ring, Look at this!

Boyka: Undisputed IV (2016) is the latest installment of the long running Undisputed series with Scott Adkins back again as Yuri Boyka the most complete fighter in the world.Despie being the fourth in the series this movie not let me down when it not only still continue the glory tradition of the previous parts but also help it to became the most underrated action franchise in the world.After escaping the prison Boyka now a free man tried to hold back his violent personality while showcase his talent to the world but bad luck start happen one again so now he not only has to fight for his life but also fight for what he think is right and wrong.The fight choreography in this movie is as good as ever when each fighter has a chance to show of their skill including Boyka with his infamous flying kick that make my blood boil every time.The thing make me surprise the most is how much emotion Scott pour in Boyka character through his action and journey.Some people may complain about how out the place the romance element or the ending is but when you look back the whole Undisputed series you will realize it a perfect circle life of a convict man

Just want to start off by saying that I love all of the Undisputed movies. Usually by the third installment, a movie just fizzles out but now this one. The fight scenes get my adrenaline pumping and best of all, there's not a million action sequence cuts (I think movies get carried away with this nowadays), just Adkins showing off his true talent. I don't want to ruin anything, but I think it's a great movie and I've watched it twice already!:)

Tbh this was a little bit let down if we compare it with third part. The fights were also not that great plus the ending could've been better . III part is still the best undisputed till now . And idk where is the plot going for 5th direction. The script really looses it's way in this part.

I understand, its very predictable and not as good as the previvious 2, but this movie was still really good. The way boyka has developed from the very first undisputed movie till now is really outstanding. Great movie and now im waiting for undisputed 5

The plot is as predictable as it gets. It's one of those movies that Russians speak English to each other and the acting is mostly atrocious, but it's not trying to win any awards either. Scott Adkins is the best actor in the movie, so know what you're getting into. If you plan to watch it for anything but the fights, which are good but not as memorable as previous ones in the franchise, you will be disappointed.
