Review of The Believer (2001) by Mark A — 27 Jan 2015
When I found out about this movie and how it starred Ryan Gosling, I immediately wondered how I hadn't heard of it before. After only 10 minutes of watching, I realized why. This is an excruciatingly dull film that I really struggled to get through.
It's like a cheap, R-rated version of a Lifetime movie, with no real plot or progression. I'll admit, I only bothered checking this out because Gosling was attached, which I assume is true for most people.
It is fun seeing him portray this huge scumbag character, and he does do a decent job. The blame for this atrocious film really can't be put on him. The first five minutes had me thinking this would be an intense viewing experience, but it turned out to be the total opposite.
..stale and boring!
