Mantis is a spin-off set in the same hired-assassin universe as the successful 2023 film Kill Boksoon. This time, the story focuses on Han-ul (Im Si-wan), an elite assassin who returns to the business under the alias “Mantis” after retirement. His comeback takes place during a time of chaos and anarchy in the hitman world, triggered by the downfall of the corporation that once ruled it.The film unfolds as a thrilling power struggle where three assassins, each with their own skills and ambitions, compete for the title of number one. Alliances are fragile, betrayals are constant, and the old rules no longer apply, plunging the audience into a violent, dark world.The movie delivers intense, well-choreographed action sequences, a hallmark of South Korean thrillers. Park Gyu-young’s performance as the ambitious Jae-yi stands out for its strength and complexity, offering a more compelling character arc. The premise of a war between assassin factions fighting for control of the market is an intriguing one.However, the film suffers from pacing issues and a script that stalls while building toward the inevitable final showdown. The tone can also feel inconsistent, shifting between serious drama and forced humor. And while visually stylized, it never quite reaches the elegance or emotional impact of its predecessor.In summary, Mantis is an entertaining action thriller that expands the Kill Boksoon universe with a story of intrigue and rivalry, even if it doesn’t achieve the same level of impact. It’s a recommended pick if you enjoy brutal action and stories about power struggles in the Korean underworld.
Nail-biting three way fight Kill Boksoon spin off movie set in a generation farther away from the original premise, where the monopoly of M. K. Ent. is already a past thing, now multiple startups are fighting to feed on the leftovers of this sunset industry, some even extend it into other business scope like tech and gaming.In such desperate era, the story cleverly follows along the new coup d'etat leader of M. K. Ent. and his two young aspiring successors, but having bad blood between each other, as the ambitious buildup pitted them into a complicated three way fight for its high adrenaline triad fighting sequence ending. It may not have that intense charisma of Jeon Doyeon and Sol Kyunggu have to offer, they're totally phenomenal previously, this movie did make sufficient effort to maintain that quality, as Im Siwan and Park Gyuyoung is still a very convincing pair on screen. The action choreography, cinematography, and soundtrack, all are well done enough and it is a nail-biting movie that successfully keeps its unique world of killers emotionally valid.
Je ne veux pas croire à cette suite J'ai presque du mal à croire que c'est la suite de Kill Bok-Soon. C'était tellement décevant. J'ai adoré le première film, il était bourré de bonnes idées. C'était visuellement magnifique, chaque plans était réfléchit, avec les bonnes couleurs et les scènes d'action était superbe. Même l'histoire, malgré qu'elle reste simple dans sa construction. Ça abordé des sujets moderne et vraiment intéressant. Son seul défaut c'est que malgré ses 2h20, on en voulait plus. Là ce que je viens de voir avec Mantis ? olalah ça a perdu tout son charme. Aucun plan mémorable, les scènes d'action était plus aussi élaboré. La storyline ??? J'en parle même pas. Pour moi si ce film n'a pas était fait que pour une question de business je comprends pas. Vraiment décevant. J'aurai préféré une suite sur la fille de l'héroïne du premier film. Bien plus de potentiel.
