Believer 2

BELIEVER 2 is a follow-up to the 2018 original that carries straight on from the action of the first movie. It's been a fair few years since I saw that one so I was left understandably confused by the first fifteen minutes, but once things work out this becomes easy to follow, adopting a typical template of rival drugs gangs battling for supremacy while the cops try to arrest all of them. It's vividly violent and gritty throughout, with visceral action dominating in the form of mass shootings and brutal executions. The usual quality you expect from Korean cinema is present and correct here, and if it falls short of brilliance, then it's still an undeniably involving production.

I'm not going to pretend that I know how the film industry works, but I was seriously let down by this movie. I really liked and enjoyed the first one, Believer 2018, and the fact that it kept me guessing for practically the whole movie was awesome, but writers of Believer 2 took that and threw it down the toilet and replaced it with brainless action scenes and rewrote plot lines and story to almost completely diminish the first film.

The change of actors doesn't bother me so much because I understand that due to other obligations and schedules, sometimes the same actor can't return to play the role. It's upsetting but it can be forgiven. I feel the actors and director did well with what they were given. I could be wrong, because like I said, I don't know much about the industry, but I don't think the director has much say in how the script is written. So they did a good job with what was handed to them. I blame the writers and whoever greenlighted this to move forward and be produced, for totally ruining a great story. It's not worth watching, in my opinion, unless you really want to be disappointed.

Horrible, this might be the biggest let down of all time with Korean movies they seem this just replace a story with killing and gore which doesnt work at all and the character played by Han Hyo-Joo didnt work either and her acting was just bad. Nothing her worth seeing.

When you watch this there isnt one instant where you actually feel good and have the feeling your seeing a quality show that had some thought when the wrote it.

Han Hyo-Joo walking around with her mouth open was too much to take, this is hands down the poorest performance she has put in and im a big fan of her and still am but good lord what a waste of time this was.

If like me, you liked the first movie, then don't watch this sequel. It just deconstructs everything from the first movie, including the excellent plot twist, ruins characters, and has a TERRIBLE ending. I have no idea why this was greenlit, and who thought this was a good idea. It has some decent gunfights, but that's the only good thing about it.

Believer 2 (2023) movie is good though except the story. I am really disappointed with the story of this movie! The story was really confusing to understand for me! I do not know if anybody else feels the same as me. Action moments and scene was super and excellent! My complain is only about the story. I can not remember if i did watched "The Believer 1" or not. If not then my interest already died in this part. In a movie the story and action moments are really matters, and in this movie this thing is messed up! Hope they will make better story in future.
