Michael (Scot Williams) is looking forward to celebrating his birthday with his girlfriend Jessica. However he is highjacked by some mates and they use him as a driver as they knock over Vinnie Jones with specific directions to take his ring. Vinnie of course figures out where they go (Lithuania) and a pursuit follows.
The film is a combination grindhouse and comedy. Unfortunately the film's comedy is more akin to 60's Italian comedy than smart British wit . For instance in one scene a nude man is chained to a radiator, which he liberates and carries around for half the film. The film seemed misdirected at times. Much of the film has English subtitles with jokes aimed at a Lithuanian audience. Scot Williams was not convincing in his role and he was the only character they developed.

GIVE ME BACK THE RING
Out of the way ...
The movie starts off like any other heist movie going wrong .. but does not stay on that path for a long time (no pun intended) or on any particular path to be exact. This is a very weird movie experience that feels like one kind of thing and that quickly switches on to something different. I'm also surprised that so many people did actually like the movie so much (according to the IMDb score).
If it were just run of the mill, I don't think it would be as interesting and appealing, but going off the rails like this, might lose viewers attention too. It's up to you to decide if you are open to go on a ride with this movie (which is very violent).
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.
