Danny Balint ist ein junger jüdischer Mann, der in New York lebt. In den Nächten studiert er religiöse Schriften und lehrt hebräisch, während sich tagsüber eine komplett unterschiedliche Persönlichkeit herauskristallisiert. Danny wird von einer Kraft magnetisiert, die im völligen Gegensatz zu seinem Erbe steht: Neo-Faschismus. Basierend auf wahren Ereignissen erzählt dieser überraschende Psycho-Thriller vom Abtauchen in eine Welt der Gewalt. Aber es ist nicht nur die Gewalt in den Straßen, sondern die innere Gewalt und der Kampf in ihm selbst, einem Mann, der nicht aus seiner jüdischen Identität fliehen kann. (Capelight Pictures)

“It’s a romantic movement. It always was." The best movie about the threat of neo-Nazism that I have yet seen. Better, much better even than the outstanding American History X which somewhat unfairly overshadows The Believer. Because it looks at the topic from a completely different perspective than other “similar" movies - here the most important aspect is the crisis of being Jewish and Nazism is only secondary. As a result, the movie is many times more worrying and indescribably more powerful, mainly in the second half when Danny stops “hanging around on street corners" and starts to speak out at seminars. This is made all the more powerful by the gala performance from Ryan Gosling, who proves that both he and Jake Gyllenhaal are rightly considered the most promising young blood in Hollywood. This movie give you a worrying, niggling feeling in your head because it doesn’t have a black and white approach to some questions that really require some concentrated thought. The outstanding experience cannot be spoiled even by the occasionally imperfectly pointed motivation of some characters. The ingenious epilog significantly reshuffled my top fifty most powerful endings.
