What's is about?
Deliver Us From Evil is an action-thriller from South Korea. Former secret agent In-Nam now earns a living as a hitman. Set to retire after killing big shot crime boss Koreda, he receives news that his ex-girlfriend Young Joo has been murdered and her daughter Yoo-min, kidnapped. In-Nam frantically searches for Yoo-min before child traffickers sell her. To complicate matters, deranged killer Ray makes it his mission to avenge his brother Koreda’s death by targetting In-Nam, starting with his family and close associates.
What to expect
Deliver Us from Evil is a gritty action-drama with an engaging plot. It contains close range fight scenes that involve a degree of brutality and callousness likely to shock and disturb younger viewers. Cruelty, although only indirectly implied, is also likely to disturb this audience. The regular depictions of violence and crime may have a normalising and desensitising effect on impressionable young viewers. The film contains regular use of highly offensive language, further supporting the need for a restriction. Older teenagers and adults will be able to contextualise the content as a high-octane but largely implausible action feature.
