Moviegoers are saying

Wanda Sykes delivers a surprisingly strong dramatic debut in this low-budget boxing drama that overcomes generic storytelling through authentic performances and a lived-in portrayal of Liberty City. While audiences consistently praise Sykes' dramatic range and the film's heart, most agree the lackluster fight sequences and predictable plot keep it from landing the knockout punch it aims for.

Combat sport films are so hard to film, Undercard struggles to find intensity in its fights until the last second. But that’s okay because at the heart of his story is redemption and second chances and when we’re focused on that the movie works best. 2026 Ranked

A generic and slightly uncooked story that is still a decent enough watch but nothing groundbreaking or original. The fighting in this was a bit lackluster and underwhelming until the very last fight. The acting in this is solid but no performances to blow you away either.…

‘Undercard’ is a rousing boxing movie, a well-made family drama, and a remarkable dramatic debut for trailblazing comedian Wanda Sykes (who received the St. Louis International Film Festival’s inaugural Trailblazer award). I can’t praise her performance and that of her…

I like Wanda Sykes in here. I really do. Giving her a dramatic performance is an admirable attempt in this film. But man can this film give her a better story to work around with than just the most standard and generic thing ever that made the pacing feel absolutely…

SLIFF #6 Wanda is good in a dramatic role. The Q&A afterwards was fun. Most importantly, the ageless Roselyn Sánchez plays a super hot tattoo artist...Big one for teen Alex.

This is being marketed as Wanda Sykes' dramatic debut and she's pretty great; however, it's really slow in some places and doesn't quite always land the punch (pun not intended).
