a.k.a. "The Good, the Bad and the Dead"
It is a lot of work, but you need to do a little research once you say
to yourself, "This could be fun." If a film has two titles, skip it.
This will require both IMDb and Wikipedia, but until WWE licenses a Bray
Wyatt montage before Nefllix's direct to DVD acquisitions, how will you
know when to run.
Dated Wrestling Rant:
And that's how you increase your shareholders profits Vince McMahon. If
you take that money and buy the "Broken Universe" from Anthem, the stock
might result in a $1 dividend. GFW will survive as well. Preventing bad
Dolph Lundgren flicks from being viewed is best for business.
Back to a tale of Wasting of Danny Trejo:
It is obvious a drug deal has gone bad. A used car parking lot (if not a
car lot, a lot with a Martin Luther King Blvd address) with a corpse
for each bumper serves as an homage to the desert standard "No Country
for Old Men" set. Adding title cards for each archetype is usually the
indications of an action flick with clever ambitions. Unfortunately,
there is no witty dialogue when the sheriff (Michael Pare) shoots his
deputy to go James Brolin on us only to receive a life-threatening shot
to the ear from an amnesiac survivor (Johnny "Eric Young should have
best cast" Messner). To keep the audience thinking, director Timothy
Woodard Jr (who seems to have taken inspiration stylistically from Uwe
Boll) is going to use a twist for every scene.
The primary twist is not the amnesia gimmick, it is the fact that the
dead deputy is the rebellious son of Mateo Perez (Danny Motherlov'n
Trejo), the biggest drug dealer the DEA has ever known. Perez will be on
a quest for vengeance, the sheriff is out to save his own neck, and
Rooker (Lungren) is trying to put the pieces together. With so many
supporting players, the clueless amnesiac is suppose to hold the film
together. Too bad there is not the necessary nudity or action sequences
to amuse us on his quest to regain his memory.
"4 Got 10" has a shorter plot synopsis than "Death Squad",
so that means it will be less painful. If you can endure the first 70
minutes, where only three rounds are fired, you will be rewarded with
"MST3K" worthy, slow-motion-dependent action sequences. You may never
curse Zack Snyder again. #releasethesnydercut
Woodward must have been desperate to avoid this film from being labeled a
short. The overuse of slo-mo is so bad that you can see the stuntman's
flammable gel before he goes up in smoke while still holding his own in a
fire fight. If the humor was more than Lundgren digging through a truck
stop trash can, we could have had a so bad it is good film.
"4 Got 10" is evidence that all screenwriters should follow the page a
minute rule. If Sean Ryan did this, there would have been no reward in
sitting through this garbage. Hence, it would not have been made. With
that said, try googling "Danny Trejo slow-mo gun fight" and you may
receive the fruit of this labor without wasting so much time.
Perhaps "4 Got 10" is the Li'l Bub of bad movies. No, that is probably
"The Beast of Hollow Mountain" which is part of Netflix's "Mystery
Science Theater 3000: The Return." Netflix has you taken care of
regardless.
