Editor’s note: Our short take on Mantis (2025): It leans into its Action, Crime, Thriller roots without feeling derivative. Lee Tae-sung keeps the storytelling tight, favoring character beats over empty flash. Yim Si-wan, Park Gyu-young, Choi Hyun-wook anchor the film with grounded, unshowy work. At 1h 53m, it moves with a measured pace and rarely overstays a scene. Reception is mixed; it works best if you’re in the mood for its specific tone. The marketing line “A new generation of rising killers.” isn’t just flair; it’s fairly accurate. If the premise speaks to you, this one’s easy to recommend.
