Litewski przekręt

Redirected is saved by its second half; moving the story to the countryside and introducing the local characters makes it quite funny. But the constant, totally illogical discovery and meeting of characters anytime and anywhere, which doesn’t even pretend to be a bunch of absurd coincidences, drags the movie down to the level of a cheap farce. The good thing, on the other hand, is that the Lithuanians, acknowledging their admiration for Guy Ritchie, made a frantically paced genre movie with a British action star and partly set in London. And that they weren’t afraid to show their country as an “Eastern European backwater” full of thieves, perverts and the most severe forms of redneckery. (24.12.2018)

Boorish humour based only on corporeality and Eastern European stereotypes. It looks more movie-like than our Zdeněk Troška, but it’s not that different content-wise. For a moment (let’s say about half-hour) it’s bearable and sometimes even funny, but then you realise that there won’t be any other type humour and it becomes rather dull and cringe-worthy.

An epic crazy action ride at Guy Richie's level and at the same time a solid ticket into the world of Lithuania. (03.01.2019)

Sometimes it's actually quite funny. I especially like that something came from Britain which is action-packed and a thriller, but it has at least some humor in it, it's not all too serious, which is what bothers me about current British crime movies. The humor here is quite simple, but it's enough for the average. (16.04.2015)
