	Author	Review
United States	Richard Kuipers Variety	"[It] is short on character analysis but long on stylishly executed action (...) 'Believer' may be more impressive around the edges than at its core"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Much of this recklessly entertaining movie is so giddy with violence (...) that it can be easy to forget the melancholy tone of the opening minutes, or the sadness that creeps into the margins after that."	NEU
United States	Cary Darling Houston Chronicle	"It stands on its own and is different enough from the original to make it less a clone and more of a genuflection."	POS
United States	Simon Abrams rogerebert.com	"'Believer' works best as a series of perpetually escalating confrontations (...) Lee and Chung don't seem to have a knack for character-driven detail (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Jason Bechervaise Screendaily	"Overall, the film is stylistically impressive, underscoring Lee’s strong craftsmanship."	POS
