Wonderful Movie

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Aiden Melton
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Casey Duggan
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

"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.

Well almost the title then. Although in Germany they have a different one and kind of seem to want to compare it to a Western (Good, bad and the Dead). And that's not that far off the mark (no pun intended). Unfortunately the movie never really satisfies completely. It tries too much for its own good.And while Danny Trejo is always a natural and has his charisma just because of who he is in real life, there is not really empathy that the viewer can feel for the characters involved. So the twists and turns that predictably come, do not really shock that much (maybe surprise a couple of viewers at best). Mediocre if you set your expectations low

A Nice Plot and good casting. Seriously lacking screenplay. Dunno it was action thriller or spoof movie, some of scenes were really funny. Dialogues completely sucked. Action was terrible. Whereas the suspense was little surprising. Something must have really gone wrong while making this movie. GunShot Firing were really bizarre. It was very surprising for me that a person can survive for days after getting shot and with no medical help. Sex scenes included in it too sucked. Actors where seriously faking everything in the movie. Avoid watching this movie unless you really are a big fan of one of the actors of this movie.

For the first five minutes the movie, which thinks it has clever title, it might look decent with cool visual and noir vibe, then it literally falls apart with every following scenes. The plot makes little sense, the acting consist of the males trying to be as comically macho as possible while the ladies seem like they're auditioning for porn intro. The action is on another league of laughably bad with abundance of cheap and silly effects.Story follows many different characters, who the movie introduces with amateur imitation of Tarantino style. The multi-perspective immediately falters with poor logic and overly convenient melodramatic subplots. One scene has Danny Trejo performing dramatic monologue like he's in telenovela. It tries to string together several agendas with climatic twist only to end up with severe inconsistency.Normally, I wouldn't nitpick much about acting, but it has one of the most absurd performances even on B-movie standard. Natassia Malthe as Christine is utterly bizarre. It's like she's under the influence of anesthetic or laughing gas from dentist and trying to resist the effect during filming. Her expressions are forced and just unnaturally disrupting on almost every scenes she's in.Most of the men are rough agents or rougher antagonists. Danny Trejo alone should suffice for gruff character, but here everyone grunt, swear and try to look humorously manly as though they are on Marlboro commercial. The ladies are painfully over acted. It doesn't matter who the character is, every girl winks or flirts, sometimes directly to the camera. I'm surprised they didn't just suck lollipop and moan instead of delivering their lines.Action is all kinds of bad. It makes mid-tier Bollywood movies look like Oscar material for choreography. Punches and kicks miss while baddies fly across the room. Everyone is trigger happy, literally shooting anyone without little to no provocation, but they lack the self-preservation instinct to take cover. Then we have the crappy slow-mo with flare effect painted on the gun. It's mesmerizingly bad.If there's any shining light on this black mess, it's that Johnny Messner as the lead Brian is not bad. He brings effort for his character and he would've been a more decent lead if given the right material. Dolph Lundgren is also pretty good, most of the revelation hinges on him and he did try. Still, the problem with original material persists, they just seems underutilized here.There are a lot flaws, either in writing or choreography, yet the movie pretends they don't exist and continue to play western music or some macho gibberish. It honestly looks like spoof of action, but I fear it actually tries to be gritty. In that case, one should still view it as parody for more amusement or simply forget it entirely.
