Sequel to the 2002 film. This time, Heavyweight Champ George "Iceman" Chambers (White) is sent to a Russian jail on trumped-up drug charges. In order to win his freedom he must fight against the jailhouse fighting champ Uri Boyka (Adkins) in a battle to the death. This time he is not fighting for a title, he is fighting for his life!

Summary: penitentiary pugilism at its most professional
Comment: Wow! I liked this way more than the original, and I liked the original. I've waited a long time for a prison fight movie with action that's this frequent and this good. The producers could have changed a couple more things and not had to slap this with a franchise tag but, after watching it, who cares? The fight choreography is some of the best I've ever seen from a U.S. production. Yeah, the story is silly and implausible, but this is a "B" movie, and fans of this type of thing will have much to relish.
There are some reasons it's a sequel: The character of George "Iceman" Chambers, and the story about organized fights in prison, including gambling and mafia-involvement.
The differences: Ving Rhames has become Michael Jai White; the antagonist has become the protagonist; the U.S.A. has become Russia; rape has become narcotics possession; and Western Boxing has become Mixed Martial Arts.
Our story begins with ex-heavyweight boxing champ Chambers, in Russia with his agent, trying to make some money doing commercials. He returns to his hotel to find some thugs going through his stuff. He attacks them, but is hit from behind and rendered unconscious. When he awakens, the cops are going through his possessions to look for any clues, and find a hollowed-out bible full of contraband. He is then taken to a prison where the current champ, Uri Boyka (Scott Adkins, "The Bourne Ultimatum") would like a shot at him. Chambers refuses to fight until the Russian mob pays him a visit to inform him that his lack of participation will only result in a longer, more unpleasant stay.
Michael Jai White ("Exit Wounds", "Spawn") finally gets a good lead role to show off his excellent fighting abilities and acting chops. He is one tough, profane Bad A--. However there's a problem: Scott Adkins steals the show. Other than this, I've only seen Adkins briefly in Jet Li's "Unleashed", but he is fantastic. Director Isaac Florentine has used him in every movie he has done since this. It's only a matter of time before other directors want to do the same.
My only gripe about the disc is that it is not widescreened. I gripe about that a lot. Though the entire film takes place in Russia, English is the only language spoken, but the DVD has optional Spanish subtitles. This New Line release features a "behind the scenes" extra, and audio commentary by the director and the two leads. If you like "B" movies with great fights, this has to be seen. I will be tracking the other collaborations between Florentine and Adkins. The only one that is currently available is "The Shepherd: Border Patrol", starring Jean Claude Van Damme. Though we can look forward to the upcoming "Ninja", and the rumored "Undisputed 3". RECOMMENDED.

Summary: Better then the first
Comment: I watched the first one and liked it. So I thought I would buy 2nd one and I was not disappointed. The fighting was well done. I thought it actually had more fight and training scenes then the first one did. You see a transformation of the iceman character which makes the movie even more enjoyable. This movie has a human side to it that lacks in alot of other action movies. It has your normal prison movie stuff such as injustice, a corrupt warden etc. But for us who are fans of these types of movies that stuff just makes it what all of us like about prison movies. Great movie
