"Believer" is one of those lesser-known South Korean crime thrillers that relies exclusively on the strength of its storytelling rather than neon-lit scenes of combat or thrilling chase sequences. As a result, the output here appears weakened and washed down in comparison to some of its more well-known peers.

However, it compensates for its less eventful plot with a fast-paced screenplay that keeps you occupied for the whole two-hour duration. As for the big twist, to be honest, I foresaw it a long time ago, early in the first half. However, the buildup to the final reveal is still pretty admirable!
