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.

"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...

Too stupid for words is what this movie is. you've seen it all before. drugs, money, guns, it's all here. i watched it cause it had some name actors and was billed as an action movie. some actors will do any piece of crap for a paycheck. Lundgren, Trejo, Pare are these actors. they are all very wooden and just going thru the motions here. Messner gave the best performance here and was most believable in his role. i finished watching it only cause i was invested in seeing how it would turn out. this is straight to DVD crap or Netflix. there are a few double crosses here and no one is to be trusted. it was totally stupid who gets away with the money in the end. a real disappointment this movie was considering the talent involved. i guess they were all between better projects. Lundgren should kiss Stallone's ass for giving him a career.
