"Two Thumbs Up!" -Ebert & Roeper

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, The Believer is a daring and gripping portrayal of a young Jewish man living an impossible contradiction as a neo-Nazi. Inspired by real events, the film tells the story of Danny Balint (Ryan Gosling) and his struggle between destroying his own people and being drawn back to Judaism.

Starring Ryan Gosling (Murder By Numbers) in a critically acclaimed performance as Danny, a role that has been compared to Robert De Niro's portrayal of Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver. Also starring Billy Zane (Titanic), Theresa Russell (Kafka), and Summer Phoenix (The Laramie Project). Written and directed by Henry Bean (screenwriter, Enemy of the State).
