- Despite the congested narrative, there is much to keep audiences entertained including the compelling performances by the entire cast.
- 70Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayBeliever has a well-told, entertaining story sustaining a running time 20 minutes longer than “Drug War.” With the extra space, Lee explores the motivations of his two protagonists, working toward similar ends for different reasons.
- 60VarietyRichard KuipersVarietyRichard KuipersBeliever may be more impressive around the edges than at its core, but that doesn’t prevent it from delivering a pretty solid two hours of action and suspense that’s muscularly directed by Lee and stylishly shot by Kim Tae-kyung.
- 58IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichIt’s damning, if not quite fatal, that Lee’s version works best when it’s riffing on the standout elements of the source material rather than trying to reinvent them.
- 50RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsRogerEbert.comSimon AbramsBeliever works best as a series of perpetually escalating confrontations.
