Believer Ratings & Reviews
The Last Thing I See
Brent McKnight
"Believer" never soars like the film on which it's based, nor does it hit the highs of other notable South Korean crime thrillers. But if you can find it, this offers a serviceable, engaging, tangled tale of cops and criminals.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
"Believer" is an impressive and quite entertaining action thriller, which highlights the fact that Johnnie To's productions can be very easily adapted to the current style of Korean cinema
Spectrum Culture
Dominic Griffin
Believer is an unsettling procedural with flashes of nutty brilliance.
Spoiler TV
Brent Hankins
Believer not only offers the requisite firearms and fisticuffs demanded by the genre, but also arrives with some major surprises and numerous top-notch performances, all packed into a consistently exciting and thrilling package.
Cinapse
Ed Travis
It looks great, feels expensive, and therefore occasionally feels like the glossier younger cousin of Drug War that's more handsome but not quite as smart.
Slashfilm
Hoai-Tran Bui
Believer somewhat subscribes to the character types and recognizable tropes of the genre, the twists feel fresh enough and the tangled webs of drug world conspiracies are riveting enough to keep you on the edge of your seat.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
The growing bodycount makes it that much harder to care, but the story is so hard to swallow that our disinterest almost works to its advantage by the end.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
Perhaps my love for the original clouded my vision for this version, but damn if I didn't spend more time looking at my watch than I did at the screen.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
Believer doesn't add up to much because Lee and Chung essentially tried to improve something that was already perfectly unsettling.
AwardsCircuit.com
Shane Slater
...solid mainstream entertainment for those seeking slick production values, exciting action scenes, and an engaging storyline.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
The action sequences are unspectacular but effective. "Believer" has a well-told, entertaining story...
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
Lee Hae-Yeong's gripping retelling of Johnnie To's "Drug War"...stands on its own and is different enough from the original to make it less a clone and more of a genuflection.
Variety
Richard Kuipers
Johnnie To's gritty mainland crime epic "Drug War" (2012) is given a slick and mostly effective South Korean re-tooling in "Believer."
