Misdirection is a 2026 American thriller directed by Kevin Lewis, starring Olga Kurylenko and Frank Grillo. Running 84 minutes, it follows a criminal pair whose final heist unravels into betrayal and bloodshed when their mark turns out to be far more dangerous than expected.

What is Misdirection about?

Two seasoned grifters plan what they intend to be their retirement score — one last carefully staged con that should set them up for good. Their target appears to be an ordinary, controllable mark, and every detail of the scheme has been rehearsed. But as the operation kicks into motion, the person they thought they had cornered begins pulling strings of his own. Allegiances shift, hidden agendas surface, and what began as a clean job spirals into something far deadlier. Neither partner can be sure whether the real threat is the mark, the plan itself, or the person standing right beside them.

Cast & crew

Olga Kurylenko, known for international action and dramatic roles, anchors the film as one half of the criminal duo, bringing cool precision to the role. Frank Grillo, a reliable presence in American genre cinema, plays against type with a performance that keeps the audience guessing. Oliver Trevena and Emilija Matić round out a compact ensemble that sustains the film's tight tension across its runtime.

Context & significance

For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, Misdirection offers the kind of lean, no-frills thriller that travels well across borders — minimal cultural barrier, maximum plot momentum. The film is available on K-Time with a Persian dub, which makes it accessible for viewers who prefer to watch in their native language without reading subtitles. Crime thrillers built around couple dynamics and betrayal have long resonated with Iranian audiences abroad, and this short, punchy entry fits comfortably into an evening's viewing. The cat-and-mouse structure and the final-job premise are genre staples that need no introduction.
