Summary

Released in 1989, True Believer is a crime, drama and mystery film.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,140 1980s films, not against the whole corpus. Only 37 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 39 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 86 of whom clear the calibration test.
