Believer 2

The first movie, "Believer 2018" was quite interesting due to its suspense & plot twist. This sequel, unfortunately, was a total let-down. Not even A list stars like Cho Jin Woong, Han Hyo Joo or even veteran supporting actor Jo Han Chul could save this film.

The continuation of the storyline was lame. Han Hyo Joo just acted like a madwoman. Cho Jin Woong's character behaved like a rookie policeman, a downgrade of the heroic cop from the first film. Cha Seung Won was still the same villain as the first movie.

The characters spoke so much Mandarin but unconvincingly as the Korean accent was still obvious. There's even a guy who looks like Xi Jin Ping here.

The standout performer of this show has got to be Oh Seung Hoon, who replaced Ryu Joon Yeol as Rak. He played out the backstory of Rak well and performed as good as his predecessor. I was about to give up halfway, but Oh Seung Hoon carried the show well.

In a nutshell, don't bother watching this, unless you have too much time to kill.

Holding your head to one side, swaggering and having the old man from up's glasses is not acting! Big Knife is a bit blunt tbh, I kept thinking her dreadful wig was in Ringu.

The inclusion of non verbal and non hearing characters was good.

The trope about the dad with a sick kid was a cliché like three days to retirement and the cop gets shot. I like the villains and the cops, the first film is superior and I'm going to watch it tomorrow night.

I like some of the locations and I am a fan of Korean films, food and drink.

I was very disappointed in the film big knifes fake laugh is really getting on my nerves, must do better.

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.

They swapped actors for two of the main characters since the first film, I watched half of this one before realising it so don't make my mistake or you'll be totally lost! The woman who plays Mr Lee's daughter is like a cartoon, totally hammy acting. No huge twists like the first film, and total lack of tension. Not even sure who I'm rooting for by the end of the film. There's a scene where three of the main characters who are all enemies are discussing their final plan together, I couldn't explain what the hell was going on even if my life depended on it! If you enjoyed the first film - leave it there, give this one a miss.

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.
