![]() ![]() ![]() These two tough (but fair!) men inevitably team up, but only after more children are threatened, pets are abused, and women are treated like accessories.ĭerrickson and Boardman's film is more than just a sympathetic representation of Sarchie's paranoia. ![]() In each case, rebellious, Sarchie finds that hard-drinking Jesuit priest Father Mendoza ( Edgar Ramirez) is already on the case, waiting to nudge skeptical Sarchie toward a no-man-is-an-island acceptance of his limitations. In each case, parents abuse their children while a mysterious string-bean of a man ( Sean Harris) hovers nearby, painting over ominously legible graffiti written entirely in Latin. ![]() Sarchie's supernatural radar leads him and wise-ass partner Butler ( Joel McHale) to a string of related domestic abuse cases. For example, Eric Bana's Sergeant Ralph Sarchie, a haunted member of the New York Police Department, simply knows when bad things are going on around him because he has an intuitive "radar"-like sixth sense. Many of "Deliver Us From Evil"s creative shortcomings result from Derrickson and Boardman's lazy articulation of their film's interest in spiritual doubt and penance. ![]()
