4Got10

This 🎥 movie is very very interesting

"Decommissioned" director Timothy Woodward Jr. and scenarist Sean Ryan have scored another winner with "4Got10," a contemporary crime thriller involving the DEA, the Mexican Cartel, and a corrupt county sheriff. Woodward Jr. and Ryan field a greater than usual number of characters and explore them in vignettes that eventually end up tied neatly together. Typically, too many characters can slow down a movie as well as clutter up an action opus. Instead, the surplus of characters in this movie keeps you guessing about who they really are and what they will accomplish. "4Got10" surpasses the usual B-movie, and the cast is superb. This multi-faceted story unfolds with a scene straight out of "No Country for Old Men" with some variations. We have a mystery man, Brian Barnes (Johnny Messner of "Decommissioned"), who awakens to find himself at the scene of a bloody massacre at a rendezvous among drug-traffickers. We have corrupt Sheriff Olsen (Michael Pare of "Streets of Fire") who decides to shoot his faithful partner, Samuel Perez (Michael John Long of "Weaponized," but who turns out to be the son of notorious drug czar Mateo Perez (Danny Trejo of "Heat") who wants his money back. Imagine Mateo's surprise when he discovers that his son was a cop hiding under an alias! Basically, everybody that you think is dirty turns out to be clean. Woodward Jr. stages some skillful shoots and deploy optical effects to make the guns appear more intimidating. The final shootout between Mateo and Olsen is something to see. The two guys are essentially sitting down and shooting at each other from no more than five feet away. Pare makes a great villain, and Dolph Lundgren's DEA Agent is somebody to see in action. Dolph sports glasses and appears very bureaucratic. "4Got10" isn't to be missed if you like fast action and provocative reversals.

The story, the interiors and the fighting will remind you of something you have already seen or of a bad TV movie. The acting sometimes is really unconvincing (dialogue too) but there is something in this film that you would never expect: when Michael Paré (the Sheriff) or Dolph Lundgren are on, the movie for a moment starts to work as if it were a normal, enjoyable flick! It doesn't last long, the two of them could not save the film. But this was something I didn't expect from Ivan Drago and I'm more than glad to have it witnessed and to pay my respects to him with this note. The film, besides that, was too boring...

Acting bad! Plot stupid! Script...... horrible! There is nothing good about this turd! Wasted time on this and wish I'd done something else... anything else!

I'm a big fan of the Legendary Danny Trejo but here he's got a small bad guy role & doesn't really do much. Simply a B-movie Action flick that's got nothing good about it or anything memorable. Poor film.

After a drug exchange has gone bad and there are bodies laying all around as the Sheriff (Michael Paré) and his deputy (Michael J Long) show up. We know he is the sheriff because the car and badge say "sheriff" and they throw a font by him that says "sheriff" as a way to impress us with a grindhouse style that didn't make it. Not to give too much away, but there is a lot of money and drugs there and one guy is still alive. The sheriff manages to survive but goes throw the movie with a large covering where his ear used to be. Brian Barnes (Johnny Messner) is the outlaw who escaped with the money. Unfortunately the son of drug lord Perez (Danny Trejo) was shot and he wants justice. Dolph Lundgren plays a DEA agent with glasses looking more like Rick Perry than himself. Vivica A. Fox played "The Skirt" while Natassia Malthe had a less flattering role as "The Braud." (sic) They managed to get some of the top name "B" listers but the script was so bad, they couldn't save it. Nice play on words in the title, although I am not sure how it connected to the film. The CSI show up, look at the scene and by a visual are able to recreate every shot, who shot them, who got hit by friendly fire and the order in which the bullets were shot. I don't know why they were waiting on ballistics. Guide: F-bomb, sex, near nudity.

I really wanted this movie to be good. Dolph Lundgren, Danny Trejo, Vivaca Fox, and such a promising beginning. Unfortunately like a lot of the people who have already reviewed this movie has said, it got bad and kept getting worse. I had to bail about halfway through because there was no way I was going to be able to continue to subject myself to this movie.

A really terrible movie, laughably bad. This movie shows where old actors go to die. Dolph was the big name here and he couldn't carry this one & failed with the rest. Because failure was everywhere the director is accountable. Acting was weak. The actors were usually making forced movements, more stiff and mechanical, not like real people would move. The dialogue was over acted, to loud, and too dramatic. Normal people don't talk like this. The score was pathetic, usually wrong for the scene, often too loud, sometimes like circus music. The transitions between scenes was too abrupt, not smooth or seamless. Photography & lighting was as if there was only one camera and they only did one take. There was no socially redeeming quality to be found. Everybody was self centered, power hungry, and of poor character, i.e. everybody was a bad guy. The current normal recipe for a hollywood action/drama flick was followed: Lots of guns, shootouts, fights, chases, wanton sexual intercourse (Though no skin in this one), bad abrasive/attitudes, drugs, and alcohol. As much as hollywood tells everyone how bad guns are they surely sell them as the answer to everything. 'Do as I say do, not as I do'. Save yourself 84 minutes of your life that you will not get back and pass on this one.

In select films there are stars who grasp at straws to entertain, 4 Got 10 is that film. Having Dolph Lundgren, Johnny Messner, Vivica A. Fox AND Danny Trejo involved in this film, one would expect a solid storyline. Instead we get a horrendous screenplay written, acting at it's worst, terrible cinematography and baseless fake action. Seriously a waste of time on this film.
