  Review by Todd Gaines ★★★½ 27

  Boyka and Rocky both contain five letters. Is that a coincidence? 

  If you're a fan of Scott Adkins, I hope you've seen him in action as Boyka in the Undisputed sequels. He's gone from prison house baddie, to God fearing face hero, but he is a straight up badass. I still can't figure out why Scott isn't getting the big Hollywood hero roles. They're finally using him, but mostly in second-rate villainous henchmen parts. Wake up and get woke up Hollywood on the awesomeness that is Scott fuckin' Adkins. 

  Of course, the plot of the latest chapter in the life of Boyka is clichéd. How many times can a fighter try to make right after they accidentally kill someone in…

  Review by Rafael "Parker!!" Jovine ★★★½

  Adkins wasn't supposed to be on today's agenda, but the place where I get my movies had this file under another film I was meant watch. But being a fan of one of the undisputed movies and Scott, I kept watching and actually enjoyed it.

  The fighting stunts were shot and edited very well, as expected. Although many want Adkins to be the next Johnny Cage, I still think some old justice should be made and JCVD be made, but if I can't, Adkins would be fantastic. I would also recommend the editor on this movie if you need a cheap one because while those fake quick zoom ins got tiresome very quickly and made everything look cheap, the editing…

  "I think God gave me this gift" - Boyka,

  Woh... so this is what it's like when tough guys cry. Boyka is out of prison and he is trying to fight professionally and looking for salvation at a church. When he accidentally kills a man in the ring he faces a crisis of conscious and tries to help the man's wife. She is potentially going to live a life of servitude, working for corrupt criminals, unless Boyka agrees to a series of complicated and progressively more dangerous fights. It's actually a pretty convenient little plot.

  This is the most traditional movie like movie in the Undisputed series because it has themes that transcend just being the best. Scott Adkins actually…

  Review by BennyMzn ★★★ 3

  Boyka ist back und das zum ersten Mal nicht im Knast. 7 Jahre nach dem dritten Teil ist er gesprächiger geworden. Gefühlt hat Adkins in einem ersten 10 Minuten mehr Dialog als in den beiden Filmen zuvor. Da man sich auch nicht einfach nur im Knast aufs Maul schlagen kann braucht es hier sowas wie ne Story dass er wieder einen Grund hat andere Kämpfer zu vermöbeln.

  Um was es letztendlich ging hab ich leider schon wieder vergessen aber die Kämpfe waren wieder erste Sahne. Schöne lange Takes und wie immer sind Boykas Gegner nicht nur Fallobst, sondern auch gute Kämpfer die ihn fordern. Auf der einen Seite kann ich verstehen dass sie ein eines Setting wollten. Immer wieder Knastprügelei…

  Boyka is Back

  Boyka ist in Freiheit und nimmt wieder als Profikämpfer an legalen Wettkämpfen statt. Bei einem Qualifikationskampf verletzt er seinen Gegner so schwer, das dieser daran stirbt. Von Schuldgefühlen geplagt besucht Boyka dessen Witwe. Diese ist gezwungen für den Gangster Zourab zu schaffen. Boyka geht wieder in den Ring, für ihre Freiheit und seinen inneren Frieden.

  Der Vierte Teil der Undisputed Reihe von 2016, spielt nicht im Knast sondern mal draußen in der Freiheit. Die Abwechslung tut dem ganzen mal gut, da man mal bissjen was neues geboten bekommt. Handlung/Charaktere sind natürlich weiterhin 08/15 Genrewahre, überraschungen Fehlanzeige. Sie haben es diesmal aber meiner Meinung besser hinbekommen, das was zwischen den Kämpfen passiert, so zu erzählen das keine allzu…

  Review by BeardofTsu ★★★ 2

  I have never seen any of the undisputed films outside of this but think this works as a stand-alone movie anyway. The story isn't all that great but who cares when you have Scott Adkins battering lads to a pulp! Some satisfying action and well-choreographed violent fight scenes that you expect from a Scott Adkins joint to keep you entertained through the 90 min run time.

  Review by Dylan van Frankfoort ★★★★½ 2

  I don't want to sound hyperbolic, so I'll just say that watching Adkins land a jumping spin kick and seamlessly drop into a leg sweep is tantamount to staring God in the face and having him blow you a little kiss. This dude is unbelievable, a supernatural phenomenon deftly captured on camera by Florentine who seems to be the only person truly up to the task (Johnson is great but pales in comparison). Primo example of giving the people what they want, straight-up calling the thing "Boyka" and springing him from prison so he can dress like Tom Cruise in War of the Worlds (i.e. very sexily) and unleash spectacular Hell on a bunch of goons at once, with character…

  Yuri Boyka has to save a community centre by punching dudes in the knees.

  Review by Daxtreme ★★★ 2

  Loved the fights, dialogue/writing was bollocks though, as expected.

  Stunts - 77/100 | Action in martial arts movies is more akin to professional wrestling than actual fights. First of all, they are both done by stuntmen. Second, we watch the performers enact a set of choreography in both disciplines. And three, it’s very physical. And in this movie’s case, it involves mostly a fighting ring so a fourth comparison point right there. I forgot what my point was but I'm curious why I don't enjoy Wrestling but love movie fight choreography. Is it the added narrative? Well, certainly not in this movie's case...

  Narrative - 48/100 | Forced romantic redemption subplot, unnecessary tightening of the timeline for added tension,…

  Review by AndrewC ★★★½

  Like with the previous two installments in the Undisputed series, Boyka: Undisputed IV continues the trend of turning Scott Adkins' Boyka fully into a hero and giving us plenty of great bone-crunching fights. Admittedly, this one isn't as tight or marvelous as its direct predecessor but it does comfortably take second place in the franchise for me and provides maybe Adkins' strongest performance yet in the title role. By this point, he has the role down pat, goofy Russian accent and all, and he gets the chance here to give his character a bit of development while also once again demonstrating his technique and skill as a martial artist. The fights are of course terrific and the film fully makes good on the action side of things, with the bouts all well-choreographed, shot, and edited to a high quality and as a result, Boyka: Undisputed IV is another solid (and for-now final) addition to a great DTV action franchise.

  Yuri Boyka is the ultimate cinematic badass and Scott Adkins is a God.
