  • Starring: Andrew Breitbart, Kurt Gibson, Mark Levin
  • Summary: Alaska in mid-decade was a land of vast natural resources fought over by the largest companies in the world and governed by a corrupt and compromised political class. Rampant crony-capitalism stood in the way of the people of Alaska reaping the benefits of their natural birthright. Enter a galvanizing reformer, a small town mayor who took on her own political party and brought on “sudden and relentless reform.” An epic two-hour feature documentary film, “The Undefeated” chronicles the rise from obscurity of one of America’s new generation of leaders: Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska. Starting during the Exxon Valdez disaster of 1989 when Palin worked a commercial fishing boat she owned with her blue-collar husband, the film shows the struggles, the victories and the setbacks during a controversial career.

    Once you realize the film is just going to be a string of encomiums against a backdrop of frantically edited archival material in which few shots are allowed to stay onscreen longer than three seconds, it's clear that no meaningful analysis of the woman's career or political agenda will be forthcoming.

    A troop-rallying campaign infomercial as imagined by Michael Bay: hero-worshipping, crescendo-edited at a dizzying pace, thunderously repetitive and its own worst enemy as a two-hour, talking-points briefing.

    Even as it makes the facile Palin-for-president case, fence-sitters will find themselves non-plussed and existing Palin haters won't budge.

    A slick one hour and 50 minute version of those political convention hagiographies ("A Man From Hope"), so it's not exactly an objective take on its subject, former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

    Great film...includes the info that the media has ignored. This will not change the mind of die-hard liberals, but it will open the eyes of those viewers with an open mind. This movie chronicles Sarah Palin's beginnings in Alaska and her experience as a Mayor and Governor. We see the intelligent, pragmatic chief executive that is Sarah Palin. This documentary paints a much different picture of Governor Palin than the mainstream media. I think this is a truer narrative than has been used, and still is used, to portray the real Sarah Palin.… Expand

    The tipping point, of when the mainstream media topples over from liberal corruption, will be when films like this, get a fair treatment and vermin like Michael Moore get the red marks. Our mission will be complete.… Expand

    Being one who doesn't follow the antics of partisan politics, I found this movie completely bad. It offers no fresh ideas or paints a different picture of Sarah Palin that she hasn't already conveyed to the American public prior to this film's release. The film basically becomes a two hour political ad with no substance, making it an overall horrible documentary. The only positive is that conservatives who are fans of Sarah Palin will more than likely enjoy it as a tale of a political hero. Otherwise, your money is better spent on the last HP movie.… Expand
