What happens

Deliver Us from Evil (Korean: 다만 악에서 구하소서; RR: Daman ageseo guhasoseo) is a 2020 South Korean action thriller film 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. The film was shot in Thailand, South Korea and Japan, with almost 80 percent of the filming done in Thailand. It marks the reunion of Hwang and Lee after their 2013 film New World. Initially scheduled to open in early July, the film was released in South Korean cinemas on 5 August 2020. It was a commercial success, and a final cut with extended footage was released on 28 October 2020. The film was released in the United States in March 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
