I really didin't know what to expect, but was taken merely by the fight scenes. The say that they were carefully choregraphed, but to me they were realistic. Even so, how they managed not to hurt each other, is a miracle. This movie had echo's of "Rocky"...for me. Just when you think he is done, a slight look at the woman he came to ask for forgiveness is in trouble, he gains all his strength back, icluding a bad back and wins...again. The acting was about par for this type of action, but very inaudible to my ears. Occasionally, I would hear an English word spoken and the worse part was the ending..I could not know what they were saying to each other during her visit to prison. The dvd from Netflix had no subtitles. BTW, he was arrested, presumably cause he killed the leader. Never mentions if he gets life or what...at least not to my ears.

Do not waste your time, unless you are seriously a hardcore fan of MMA type films. This film lacks quality in all categories only thing good is the fighter stunts performed but with bad cameraman-ship. I do not know how this movie is rated so high and only thing i can think of is that it is supported by MMA lovers who are not quality movie buffs. I am not either but this was tastelessWaste of time unless you have nothing else to do, I would still say do not watch it!!

Here's The Lowedown on "Boyka: Undisputed IV" (R - 2016 - Bulgaria/US)...I've come here to save myself!!Genre: Action/MartialMy Score: 6.7Cast=6 Acting=4 Plot=5 Ending=7 Story=5 Violence=9 Pace=6 F/X=7 Fight=10 Stunt=8In the fourth installment of the Undisputed franchise, Boyka is shooting for the big leagues when an accidental death in the ring makes him question everything he stands for. "Bring me your f#$%ing champion!" There is not much going on as far as the story goes...reminds me of the 80's Van-Damme flicks. But the fight choreography by Scott Adkins was AWESOME!!! That guy can do 540 degree spin kicks like no body's business...and of course they throw in some monster that he has to defeat when no one else could. If you are looking for an Oscar, then you came to the wrong place. This movie is one to sit with your favorite beverage and watch the epic fight scenes...cheers!

Breaking the cycle of the franchise in which the antagonist of the last film becomes the protagonist in the sequel, Scott Adkins returns as Boyka for a third time and the second time as the protagonist.This movie starts off right with a fight by Adkins in the ring doing those amazing kicks he does. Than it keeps it up with a seen of the monster that is the antagonist showing us how ripped and devastating that final battle will be. Worse part of the movie or the concept of the movie is that Micheal Jai White got screwed out of continuing the franchise, as his character, George Chambers (Who was played by Ving Rehmes in the first film when it was about boxing) . As much as I loved Adkins I would love to see White do... anything. But this movie acts more like a Spin off to the Undisputed Franchise, with Adkins character doing a second round as the protagonist, this movie also does not take place in a jail cell, but it still contains fighters who belong in jail.Boyka is a man who spent ten years in prison since last we met him In Undisputed III, going up against monsters, making him and even bigger one, so when he gets out he knows nothing but battling monsters and he wants to use this God given Gift as he likes to put it to make money and give it to good causes, but his conscious gets in the way when he beats a man to death in the ring, but he wants to do everything in his power to make it right even if it means putting himself at great risk in another ring of monsters.If you see one movie about fighting you seen them all. Boyka fights for money cause the money will do some good for some people and cure his soul. I seen it before. It reminds me of all the Early Jean Claude Van Damme movies, so it's not a good movie because of the story, it's a good movie because of Scott Adkins. We get to see what a great marshal artist Adkins is. Adkins combine with the slick motion of the camera as it follows him around the ring is what makes this movie very different from Kickboxer and Blood sport, not that they are not really good movies, it's just that Boyka is good too.http://cinemagardens.com
