Redirected (2014)
7/10
Not Bad (Maybe)
3 June 2016
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.
