When a hoodlum torments a community, a group of residents decide to kill him. But can they sink their own differences, arrange the murder, and live with themselves afterwards? It sounds like a good premise for a drama, but the problem with 'Deliver Us' is that it's all so obviously contrived: every participant has their own secrets, motives, and points of conflict with the other; at times it feels like an Agatha Christie plot, albeit one revealed in advance of the killing. I think the real problem here is the length; there's actually a good feature film probably buried in this plot, but not really eight hours of drama.
