The movie has the best knife action sequence after Raid Redemption.

The change of color palette is amazingly done.

It has lots of tension n some good action sequences.

The scene involving the kids n their trafficking/kidnapping is heart pounding.

(2020) Deliver Us From Evil/ Daman akeseo guhasoseo (In Korean with English subtitles) ACTION THRILLER

Written and directed by Won-Chan Hong has professional hitman, In-nam (Huang Dung-Min) wanting his latest job to be his last, except that by coincidence his last hit job he had accomplished, happens to have a brother named Ray(Lee Jung-jae) who is psychotic and he is seeking retribution for his brother's execution. At the same time, he learns he has a daughter in Bangkok, Thailand he has never met, and that she is kidnapped for the purpose of being sold in the black market after he learns his ex had been killed.

Despite the more than one subplots the movie still works as it's all about the lead star In-nam protecting the only family member he has.

Wow this Korean film was surprisingly impressive! It's one of the best Asian films I've seen. What's even more impressive, is that it was written and directed by a newb/amateur Korean filmmaker, Won-Chan Hong. You'd think a seasoned filmmaker put this action-crime-thriller together.

The directing and cinematography was perfection. Camera colors, shots and angles were top-shelf. The writing - especially for an Asian action film, was excellent. A great story that was cleverly written, well paced within its 108 min runtime, and properly edited. It literally is the Korean version of Liam Neeson in Taken meets assassin John Wick. The action sequences were expertly choreographed. The score was great and fitting, without being overbearing. Casting and performances were outstanding. The little Korean girl was so adorable. Filmmaker Won-Chan Hong is certainly one to keep an eye on.

I'll definitely be watching this one again. It's a well deserved 9/10 from me. To see more of my 1000+ ratings and reviews, and to see how I critique films, simply click on my username.

The Story is well written and the action scenes are good as well. I like the actors and the gernal style of this movie.

I would have given this at least 9 stars but there were a few ridiculous/unbelievable scenes towards the end, but its an action movie at the end of the day so we can excuse that I suppose. Minus that, the actors were perfect. Each one did a stellar job. The fight scenes were also really well done, not overly gory but not wimpy either...exactly what I like. Anyway, if you like action films and you don't mind a few silly mishaps here and there, watch this. if you don't like action films, still watch this for the performances alone.
