Redirected is a British-Lithuanian dark comedy action film directed by Emilis Vėlyvis and released in 2014. It stars Vinnie Jones, Scot Williams, and Gil Darnell in lead roles, and is set mostly in Lithuania. The plot follows four friends: John (Williams), Ben (Darnell), Tim (Oliver Jackson), and Michael (Anthony Strachan) who plan a heist in London, but things go awry and they end up in Lithuania. As they struggle to make their way back home, they find themselves embroiled in a series of dangerous and hilarious misadventures.

The film opens with John, Ben, Tim, and Michael planning a robbery. John, the mastermind of the group, convinces the other three to join him in robbing a casino. The heist is a disaster, however, and they find themselves on the run from the police. In an attempt to escape, they purchase tickets on a flight to Bangkok, but end up being redirected to Lithuania.

Once there, the group is picked up by a local gangster named Andrik (Jones), who offers to help them get back to the airport. However, things take a turn for the worse when Andrik's sister is kidnapped and he mistakes the group for the kidnappers. The situation becomes even more complicated when the real kidnappers show up and a shoot-out ensues, resulting in the death of one of Andrik's men.

From that point on, the film becomes a wild ride through Lithuania, as the group tries to stay one step ahead of Andrik and his gang, while also trying to find a way back home. Along the way, they encounter a variety of strange and colorful characters, including a corrupt police officer, a transgender bar owner, and a group of hardcore Lithuanian nationalists.

Despite the chaos and violence that surrounds them, the group manages to maintain their sense of humor, and much of the film's humor comes from the banter between the four friends. There are plenty of one-liners and witty remarks, as well as some slapstick humor mixed in.

As the group gets closer to finding a way back home, the film takes a couple of unexpected turns, with some surprising revelations and plot twists. Without giving anything away, suffice it to say that the ending is both satisfying and surprising, and leaves the viewer feeling entertained.

Overall, Redirected is a fast-paced, action-packed, and humorous film that will appeal to fans of the heist genre, as well as those who enjoy a good comedy. The performances by the cast are solid, particularly Vinnie Jones as the tough-as-nails Andrik, and the Lithuanian setting adds a unique flavor to the film. It may not be a cinematic masterpiece, but it's certainly a lot of fun to watch.

Redirected is a 2014 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 39 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.4.
