Minha opinião: Este filme é uma sequência do filme Kill BokSoon de 2023 o filme termina com a morte do líder da MK entertainment Cha (Sol Kyung-gu), que é a maior organização de assassinos da Coreia. Neste filme agora o nosso querido han (Im Si-wan), retorna e descobre que o seu Líder-chefe está morto. E assim se dá sequência para este filme denominado de Mantz e temos como protagonista o Han e agora com a morte de seu líder, ele decide fazer a sua própria empresa de assassinos, aonde ele vai atrás de Jay yin (Park Gyu-young), que na verdade é um antigo afair de Han, mas ela sempre focada somente no seu trabalho em ser a maior assassina da Coreia, mas sempre atrás de Han nunca teve um destaque maior ela foi expulsa da MK, mas agora junto de HAM. Porém com novos equipes de assassinos também querendo tomar a posição da MK. E assim jay in vai querer lutar contra Han para provar que a maior assassina dentre essa grande guerra que existe nós teremos ao final com Dok (Jo Woo-jin) que é um ex excluído da MK grande rival para hanói jay in e assim é onde termina. Este filme comparado com o primeiro tá é bem abaixo das expectativas as lutas nos deixam mais sonolentos é um enredo muito comprido, Um romance que não cola é deixa esse filme monótono e triste, pois poderia ser grande não é, fim.
Vale apena assistir? Se tiver curiosidade.
Nota: 4

I loved the dramatic tension and ultra violent fight sequences in this killer spinoff of Kill Boksoon.
Director Lee Tae-sung’s South Korean action-thriller Mantis (2025) is one of the coolest violent movies on Netflix. I adored Kill Boksoon, so this was a pleasant surprise. Mantis is entertaining, not just for the relentless knife and sword fight choreography, but the dramatic scenes had me enthralled. Tae-sung’s stylish direction uses all sorts of camera tricks and visual slickness for gripping fights and intense arguments. I loved Mantis. It’s easily one of the best films I’ve watched all year. Check out Kill Boksoon, then immediately watch Mantis. It’s full of bloody combat.
Writers Lee Tae-sung, Byun Sung-hyun, and Lee Jin-seong came up with a worthy spinoff concept after the assassinations in Kill Boksoon. The young hero Mantis is in love with the young lady assassin Jae-yi, but her resenting him for the endless comparisons to their lethal skill levels is fascinating. It creates tons of tension because you don’t want either person to get hurt, but they live in a violent world. It’s a cool regulated underworld of assassins like John Wick, but with ferocious fights like Oldboy or Ballerina.
Im Si-wan is excellent as the endearing assassin Mantis, who is Lee Han-ul. He’s a likable young man in love, trying to help his killer friends stay paid and employed, but who cannot bring himself to say out loud that he loves his fellow assassin Jae-yi. I was rooting for him the entire time. He’s a really great actor. Si-wan is handsome, funny, cool, brutal, earnest, and gripping. His double sickle blades are pretty cool to see.
Park Gyu-young steals the film as the fearless lady assassin Shin Jae-yi. I felt a lot of sympathy for her frustrated heroine Jae-yi, who is ambitious and wants her own path in life not just connected to Han-ul’s success as Mantis. Gyu-young is simply gorgeous, absorbing, moving, fierce, funny, heartbreaking, emotional, natural, empathetic, and intense. Her straight sword duels are insane, especially when she has to kill twenty hitmen in the night. I loved her in Squid Game as the guard from North Korea, but here she shows even more depth and versatility. What an awesome young actress capable of anything!
Jo Woo-jin is striking and entertaining as Mantis’ wise old man mentor Dok-go. His double-bladed tonfas are sick. You rarely get to see a guy fight like him anymore in movies. He’s a stalwart dramatic actor, who brings gravitas and a different perspective to Mantis. His first fight with Mantis is hilarious and delightful, while the finale duel is shockingly violent.
Choi Hyun-wook’s smug CEO Benjamin Jo is so annoying, you’re guaranteed to hate his villain. Bae Gang-hee is adorable as the friendly assassin girl Yang Soo-min, who works closely with Mantis. Sul Kyung-gu gets a nice flashback as the old MK assassin business CEO Min-kyu to help establish all these characters quickly. Jeon Do-yeon gets a wonderfully cute cameo as the lethal heroine Gil Bok-soon from the first film Kill Boksoon.
Editors Kim Sang-bum and Kim Ho-bin’s slick cuts make the drama engaging and the fights captivating for a brisk 113 minutes. Cinematographer Kang Min-woo’s sleek look for Mantis is stunning. I was constantly surprised by the different shots and changes during the battles. Lee Seung-ho’s atmospheric blue lighting looks awesome. Stunt performers Ryu Seong-cheol and Seo Ji-oh must be made of steel to pull off these sword and knife fights without dying. Composer Dalpalan’s outlandish music is really special and adds a lot of style. Sound designers Park Jong-woo and Kim Suk-won go crazy with loud metallic clangs for the sword slashes and tonfa hits. Costume designer Cho Sang-kyung’s chic modern suits all look dripped out beyond imagination. I wish every movie had such unique fits. Makeup artists Kim Hyun-jung, Hwang Hyo-kyun, and Kwak Tae-yong do the cutest looks for Park Gyu-young and Bae Gang-hee.
In the end, Mantis is a heartfelt and steadfast spinoff of Kill Boksoon. Im Si-wan and Park Gyu-young deliver incredible acting performances as the assassins Mantis and Jae-yi.

Mantis (2025) is this cool Korean assassin flick on Netflix, tied to Kill Boksoon—ace killer Han-ul (Yim Si-wan) comes back from hiatus to a chaotic syndicate after the boss gets whacked. He teams with his trainee Jae-yi (Park Gyu-young), who's all career-focused, while old legend Dok-go (Jo Woo-jin) takes over. Starts slow, like 30-40 mins of setup where I'm like "What's the point?", but then it ramps up with John Wick-style fights and cleanups. I liked the deeper stuff: unrequited love (he crushes hard, she doesn't notice), master-student beefs, and young hustlers vs. big assassin corps—kinda like any startup grind. Action's slick, but it has this young adult rom-drama feel with a fresh-faced cast that toned down the grit for me. 6/10—good one-watch if you're into K-thrillers

Not worth while watching at all. If you think this would be a good watch because of “kill bok soon” you’re so wrong. The plot is not that good, very boring and plain. No twists nothing. Don’t waste time watching this.
