Deliver Us From Evil

Trace while being chased. In-nam (Hwang Jung Min), a former special agent and hitman now asks around the whereabouts of his daughter who disappeared in Thailand. Ray (Lee Jung Jae), whose brother was murdered by In-nam, follows him. Deliver Us from Evil is simple, but powerful. On the surface, it is a hard-boiled action chaser, but emotionally it is a melodrama with dense violence. There is nothing new in the stories and development. However, the film breathlessly draws audiences in through a tried-and-true storyline and familiar combinations. DP Hong Kyung-pyo′s high-quality filming and the actors′ captivating acting complete the catharsis of dense violence. It′s a hard-boiled chaser designed to give you the ultimate action pleasure of pursuing after an assassin.

Director Hong worked as a writer with adaptations of “The Chaser” (2008), “The Yellow Sea” (2010), and “Confession of Murder” (2012), and was invited to the Midnight Screenings of the Cannes Film Festival in 2015 with his feature debut film “Office”. “Deliver Us from Evil” is Hong’s second feature film that maximizes the charms of genre films.
