So much sweat!
A sweaty truck driver hits and kills a woman, and he tries to frame the hit-and-run on a foreigner who nobody likes, except for the truck driver’s brother. But all hell will break loose when the husband of the deceased woman finds her dead, and he doesn’t care about the law because he is the law in this town! And he will bring hell with a lot of sweaty, dirty, smelly Danish alcoholics. It’s time to party hard with the sweaty men!
Deliver Us from Evil, aka Fri os fra det onde, is an entertaining Danish thriller where the people who live in this coastal town are ugly, dirty, sweaty, and ugly. And the worst stinker of them all is the truck driver who hits and kills the poor, nice woman. He is one dirty, sweaty loser who you will end up hating. But that goes for 97% of the people who live in this town.
The only one who is a nice guy is the truck driver’s brother because it turns out that his wife is also a rotten apple. But trust me, she will get what she deserves. Though I think she may have enjoyed it. And yes, the wife is played by that Norwegian Aqua woman, Lene Nystrøm. You know she can’t sing, and she can’t act, but her character will get what she deserves—and even her children will get to watch it because she is that dirty. Come and watch my children, and sit in the corner so you can watch me doing my job as your mother. Be proud of me my children, because I’m not a backstabber!
The cinematography in this movie is interesting. There is nothing wrong with your TV if you think so because the colors are dimmed, creating a special atmosphere that adds extra grime and a dirtier feeling with these Danish alcoholics.
All hell breaks loose in the last 30 minutes of the movie, where the crazy leader of the town discovers his wife is dead, and he wants to find the person who ran her over. And there are only two people who could have done it: the protagonist’s brother and the foreigner. But don’t believe everything you see. And no, he doesn’t care about the law, since he is crazy and has brought a shotgun with him and a giant Russian man!
If you’re looking for a coherent story with a lot of consequences where people will be punished by the law, you won’t find that in this movie because it sort of ends when some of the men have emptied themselves. So the wrap-up is weak.
But the last 30 minutes are really entertaining and a wild ride because of how insane the sweaty, dirty Danish alcoholics are. It’s also fun to follow the protagonist when he stars in a Danish Home Alone movie—trying to protect his family and the foreigner while the Danish alcoholics are trying to enter his house. Who will win? Well, it’s the wife. I didn’t say that. Okay, I lied.
