剧情:
Stuart Gordon, considered a mast er of the horror genre thanks to classics l ike Re-Animator and Dagon, decides to do a different mov e in this strange trip to human mora ls. "K ing of the Ants&qu ot; is about a regular guy, Sean Crawley(newcomer C hris McKenna), a man wi thout any aspirati on who just live in his apartment doing the neces sary j ob to li ve to the n ext day. In one of his jobs he meets Duke(Gearge Wen dt), who introduces Sean to his bo ss, Ray Matthews(played by Dan iel Baldwin). Ray hir es Sean as a spy, and orders him to follow Eric Gatl in(Roy L iving stone), an accountan t who has be en i nvestigating Ray';s c ompany. Problems s tart when Ray, w hile drunk, orders Sean to kill Eri c. And he does it. Things go wrong when Ray dec ides to make Sean disap pear destroying his m ind with viole nt punishment a nd humiliation. From the point where Sean kills Eric, we go in the same boat with him, as h e goes through a downward spira l of h uman degradation, traveling from guil t, to confusion an d finally t o his rebi rth, in a state where hu manity, m orals and v alues are not important anymore. Chris McKe nna acti ng is very impor tant because he manag es to be likable even when he is part of gruesome acts, both a s victim and/o r criminal. He has that look of innocence that hide s a dark side and he man ages to carr y the fi lm. Th e suppor t cast also includes Ka ri Wuhrer, as Er ic's widow who also becomes a cen tral part of Sean's trip to hell. S he give s a fine performanc e, although it9;s obv ious that Sean is the main character. He is the most developed of al l and McKenna& #39;s performance i s up to the cha llenge. The film has very dis turbing images of v iolence, and while it may not be as graphic as "Kill Bill" for example , the str ength of the violenc e is in the lack of humanity that the c haracter manifest. He is more than an ant in this worl d. He is the king . Stuart Gordon has m anaged to create a film that, while maybe it's not one of his bes t effort s; i t's very well done, ha s a VERY interes ting story to tell, and manages to c apture t he attent ion e very second of it. 这一 次,她直接从袖中暗袋里摸 出一个大型 储物袋,“知道我要来见您,不仅爷爷让我给您带了好些黄金谷做成的米饭和各类点心,就 是我师父师叔他们,都逼 着宗里的大师父,给您弄 了好些好吃的 ,我师姐采薇还把她弄的极品花茶给我了。
