Deliver Us from Evil (Korean다만 악에서 구하소서; RRDaman Ageseo Guhasoseo) is a 2020 South Korean action film[3] written and directed by Hong Won-Chan, starring Hwang Jung-min, Lee Jung-jae and Park Jeong-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.
