When you watch Cynthia Rothrock films, you're supposed to know going in that you're not going to see "Citizen Kane" (or even "Citizens on Patrol," for that matter), but this one....ugh, I don't know. Is "mind-numbingly awful" too vague?
"Undefeatable" tries to blend the two direct-to-video genres of "Martial Artist Exacts Revenge on Those Who Killed Their Relative/Buddy" and "Tough Girl Beats Up Everyone," between the two of which Cynthia has made approximately 120 movies. But I do believe that this could be the worst of either genre.
The movie exists in that great alternate universe in which EVERYONE knows martial arts....cops, waitresses, shrinks, gym regulars, random guys in parking lots, beekeepers, etc. Despite the unintentional humor in being able to smell a fight scene coming from a mile away, this movie is completely without any merit. Moronic, contrived plot, LOUSY, wooden acting, uninteresting characters, a villain about as intimidating as a garbageman, bad direction, slapped in music, and...worst of all for this kind of movie...boring, ill-conceived fights.
Stay far away from this turkey. It's about as exciting as C-SPAN.
