Watched South Korea's 2019 The Divine Fury (2:03:01). A boy loses faith in God because his policeman father dies in an accident despite his fervent prayers. He grows up to be a mixed martial artist, develops stigmata--and eventually becomes an exorcist's assistant.

The movie is interesting in that it breaks the usual Christian stereotypes. The first half is as slow and as balletic as the U.S.A.'s The Rite, but the second half somehow dwindles into action-type resolutions. I also couldn't buy the Dark Bishop concept, that Satanic altar, that Aquaman costume, and that hand burning with white fire.
