The finale of "Believer 2" is oddly elegiac, and actually heightened by the general incoherence of the story up until that point.

Despite being fun to watch, many of this thriller's elements sound good on paper, but everything doesn't quite come together.

Asian Movie Pulse

Up to that point, however, fans of comic-like violence, who focus mostly on entertainment without any particular need for logic and (deep) comments, will find a lot to like here, with “Believer 2” definitely being a fun film.

Rated: 6

Believer 2 extends the lives of a few characters from the first film, but adds nothing to their journeys through the empty landscapes and successive flare-ups of bloodshed that ultimately lead them back together.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

More functioning as the second half of a duology rather than a sequel, Believer 2 functions well if viewed through that particular frame of mind.

Rated: 8/10

Ready Steady Cut

Like its predecessor, the film offers plenty of gratuitous violence while adding layers and twists to its story. The fight scenes look perfectly choreographed and there’s enough gore included to make the most hardened horror fans squirm.

Rated: 3/5

A solid follow-up to the original that took a unique approach for a sequel. Rather than just extended the story from the first film, this movie fills in a part of the original that was left unexplained. In the end, I think this sequel makes the original even better.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Was not as good as the first one. And confusing since I didn't realize they had a different actor playing lead. Other actor was so so good in that role.

Very good series. Only thing that would have made it a 5 star is if they would have kept the original cast.

Big fan of the first movie and was looking forward to seeing this. Unfortunately, looks like the director and screenwriter didn't watch that movie. Can see why Ryu Jun-yeol opted out of this film. A mediocre film at best but a terrible sequel to a great movie. Awful screenplay and directing as a sequel. Oh Seung-hoon as Seo Young-rak was difficult to watch. Huge disappointment.

A pretty good continuation of the Korean Crime drama about a cop searching for the killer of one of his informants that leads him to obsess over capturing the infamous "Mr. Lee". The film has good action and the search for the elusive drug kingpin is expanded in this feature. The acting and Direction are good. The characters are interesting. I don't love the actor that replaced the original "Mr. Lee" from the prior film, but that is not enough to detract from my enjoyment of this highly charged action drama. Best in Korean, with English subtitles.
