Don't Believe the Hype
Best movie of this year hands down!
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Anyone who is not from Lithuania or have seen a single decent Hollywood movie will hate this movie right from the beginning.You see, this movie was produced by Lithuanians. To Lithuanian standards this movie is good but to the rest of the world this is a low quality Tier 2 TV film at best. There is a good reason for that. The plot is a copycat of famous comedy crime movies such as Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or RocknRolla. Ant it's implemented very very poorly. The story line is so predictable and editing is so wannabe Quentin Tarantino/ Guy Richie that you will turn it off before it reaches it's first 30 minutes I guarantee. Any 5/10 IMDb rated Hollywood movie is 10x better and more interesting than this Lithuanian movie.If you are not a Lithuanian please watch the movie. I hope you give it a rating that it truly deserves and maybe then the director will give a second thought to his work. He will thank you later.
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.
One word Awesome movie. If you like Comedy Movie like Lock stock and 2 smoking barrel and pineapple express and This is the Perfect movie for movie. I watched the entire movie and now my Throat hurts cause i laughed so hard and so much during this movie. Great dialogue Awesome Story line and Screen and What a Great comic acting. During the whole time the storyline keeps you hooked on about what gonna happen next. Vinnie Jones plays a mobster who's most priced possession is stolen by 3 thugs and he decides to get revenge and his stuff back my the thugs left the country and now Vinnie Jones follows him Movie is basically how he gets/or not gets his stuff back and what happens to thugs.
This is one of those movies that you or hate or love. I did enjoy it because you don't get bored for a second. There is always action, with some funny situations as well. If you like Guy Ritchie movies then you will probably like this one too. Okay it's not as good as Snatched but it is definitely the same style of movie. It's all very fast action with a lot of cursing, punching and shooting. And all this in Lithuania, what makes it even funnier. All actors did their job well. It's probably not the greatest dialogs ever but with a movie like this it doesn't really matter. It's just a movie to relax, having a laugh, and enjoy with your mates. And for the haters here on IMDb I'm curious what kind of movie you think is excellent? Probably some stupid weird movie from Lynch or Von Trier...
