Review of The Believer

In this strange yet fasincating movie Ryan Gosling demonstrates he's a great actor. He usually is a man of few words in his movies but here he does more talking here than usual. He plays a Jewish man who didn't like his religious classes when young who has turned into a Neo Nazi. He joins up with a new facist organization falls for the daughter of one of the ring leaders, plants bombs and other things but seems to pull back when it comes to major destruction, murder or bombing. There is a good supporting cast including Teresa Russell, Billy Zane as the ringleaders and Summer Phoenix as the love interest.

Strange and different movie.
