Deliver Us from Evil (Korean: 다만 악에서 구하소서; RR: Daman Akeseo Goohasoseo) is a 2020 South Korean action film[3] written and directed by Hong Won-Chan, starring Hwang Jung-min, Lee Jung-jae and Park Jung-min. The film follows In-nam, a hitman who plans to retire after completing a final hit, but finds himself linked to a kidnapping case in Thailand and targeted by Ray, the man whose sibling he assassinated. The film was shot in Thailand, Korea and Japan, with almost 80 percent of the filming done in Thailand.[4] It marks the reunion of Hwang and Lee after their 2013 film New World.[5]
