First of all, the movie got me a lot of good laughs, especially in the beginning, where Brits get into all kinds of awkward situations and troubles in an Eastern-Europe country. I absolutely love the stereotypical depiction of locals, however they are too inhospitable and swear way too much -- people in Poland and Baltics usually are a lot more friendlier than the movie wants us to believe.
There are lots of really good jokes about the stereotypical eastern-European "love" of foreigners (means: you will most probably end up robbed, naked and find yourself in the middle of nowhere if you walk too far from city centre and trust locals too much), lots of funny moments flavoured with a good load of nonsense and stupidity.
I say, you should watch it. Well done, Lithuania.

A very decent comedy from Lithuania
It was a good "something different" movie!!
Somewhat slapstick, but I think it was well written, nicely sequenced and the actors performed well. It was a great late night watch and I cannot complain.
I laughed my head off in more than a few scenes and I don't laugh easily ;) at most things that amuse others. For example, I found Fargo and Pulp Fiction to be hilarious!
Emilis has done a good job directing the film. A bit of Coen favor,some shades of Guy Ritchie and of course some inspiration from Tarantino.
Overall a good one time watch. unlikely to be a classic, but IMO much better than other stuff that masquerades as comedy!
He took the ring to Mordor.
Redirected is a funny film, though not of a high quality.
Every character's up to no good, so there's no one to help. It continues on and on, spiraling out of control. The best moment's when two of the four are on the phone with each other and they're in desperate need of the others help and saying yes even though they're in the same sort of predicament.
