    Non believer 2

    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.

    An absolute mess

    The original Believer (Dokjeon) was very good. It's not flawless, but definitely worth watching. It was no surprise when it was announced that they would make another movie based on the original story. While many expected what would be a sequel, the director decided to make a "midquel." Okay, so the new movie is trying to fill in some of the events and details that make the first movie to make the entire story a more complete story. Well, the problem is that you have a different director, different actor playing one of the lead role, many of the characters that made the first move so interesting have already died, etc. Even with these obvious flaws, they had a chance to create a decent movie here. But no... This movie completely ignores some of the fundamental storylines from the first movie. There are so many plot holes that it seems the director who made the second movie did not even watch the first movie. Very, very disappointing for a movie that many fans had eagerly anticipated.

    Chaotic mess

    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.

    mindless movie

    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.

    Confusing..

    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.
