Pluskylang Great Film overall

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Cem Lamb This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Desath By all means, Redirected is not a bad movie, but there's a catch: a viewer has to know Lithuania quite well or he/she will not get it. Not completely, anyway.The movie was directed by Lithuanian director Emilis Velyvis and the idea behind Redirected is to laugh at all existing stereotypes on Lithuanians and/or to deal with some aspects that have (or used to have) an equivalent in the real world.Obviously, not all Lithuanian people are as lowlife as depicted in Redirected, but for a very long time Lithuanian population was burdened with a worrying amount of chavs. It used to be especially bad in the past, straight after the collapse of Soviet Union.Unfortunately, in my opinion, director did not manage to make this clear for an international audiences. And, while it was a HUGE hit in Lithuania, it got a pretty low score on IMDb etc.The movie is full of inner jokes and allusions that one will not get without knowing anything about Lithuania.The only reason to watch it, having nothing to do with the country or its people, is this: if you have a specific taste in movies, that is if you are into loads of silly action, lots of shouting, absurd, farce and do not have any huge expectations, then you will probably like it. Just do not take it too seriously.Otherwise, please do yourself a favour and watch something else instead.

bingsfilms Redirected is a story along the lines of Snatch, set in Lithuania. The plot is sort of on a bell curve, the beginning being not the best, and the ending being pretty awful. The dark comedy and action found within the bulk of the movie is what put my rating up to 7 stars. I'm trying my best to avoid spoilers, and most of the movie carries some weight tied to the plot, so I'm just going to skip this bit on fear of being blacklisted.The sound is another complaint that a lot of people had. I wasn't paying much attention and as such didn't have much problem with it. This might be what brought my review up a bit more.Now for the people who won't like this movie and what they can watch instead:If you can't stand a solid 10-15 minutes of rather boring introductory plot, I'd say this movie isn't for you. Instead, try "Snatch" or "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". (For movies of a similar feel that pick up a bit more quickly)If you really can't stand the lack of sound, I'd again suggest "Snatch" and "Moonwalkers"If you're not a fan of Darker Action-Comedies, a solid alternative would be "Kung Fury" or "Naked Gun".Finally, if you aren't an action oriented person, a non action-y movie that is more Dark in its Dark Comedy would be "Trainspotting". Also good.

David Hine It was okay... and only just. The plot was interesting enough, acting was adequate and the setting was fine too. There was excessive gratuitous violence which became tedious by the end. Also the violence seemed to somehow slow the pace of the movie down which in turn made it drag and seem longer than it was.I just think the whole thing should have been better than it was; there were parts of the story (eg: the illegal migrants) which could have been developed more but we were simply left wondering. There's only a fine line between "a good way to spend a couple of hours if you haven't got anything else on" and "there's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back"; I'm still wondering which side this one sits on.

TdSmth5 Some guys plan some crime. The mastermind stresses that taking the ring is of vital importance. The crew are a bunch of goofs basically. The day of the crime, they call some guy who's actually part of the queen's guard. He gets to be the driver, without even knowing they will commit a crime. At the location some guys are playing cards. Among them Vinnie Jones and the criminal mastermind. Once the goofs arrive they take the money and the Jones's ring. One of them actually gives up the mastermind. By accident they end up shooting one guy in the neck.The driver still has no clue until they finally fill him in. The plan is now to fly to Malaysia for some reason. The driver objects so they knock him out. Due to the volcano eruption in Iceland the are diverted, redirected, to Lithuania instead. The guys party and leave the driver in at the hotel. When he wakes up he doesn't know where he is or what is going on. The other guys meanwhile awake somewhere, with whores, tattooed, a mess. One of them ends up cuffed to a radiator, two other guys end up out in the country where a girl is about to marry some mobster the next day. She has Vinnie's ring for some reason.The driver meanwhile has run-ins with corrupt cops and loses and regains the money. Now Vinnie shows up in Lithuania determined to get his ring, the money, and revenge. It all ends in a confrontation at the wedding out in the country.Initially this promises to be an edgy action comedy with Jones. But once the cast ends up in Lithuania things go downhill fast. Once I heard "Lithuania" I looked up the director and sure enough, it's the same guy who did Zero 2, a movie which I didn't particularly enjoy. Here too we get a lot of slapstick, silliness, tastelessness, and putting down of Lithuania. Granted some of the humor actually did work for me. But it's not enough to save the movie. Lithuania deserves better than what Velyvis is coming up with.
