回复 :Stuart Gordon, considered a master of the horror genre thanks to classics like Re-Animator and Dagon, decides to do a different move in this strange trip to human morals."King of the Ants" is about a regular guy, Sean Crawley(newcomer Chris McKenna), a man without any aspiration who just live in his apartment doing the necessary job to live to the next day. In one of his jobs he meets Duke(Gearge Wendt), who introduces Sean to his boss, Ray Matthews(played by Daniel Baldwin). Ray hires Sean as a spy, and orders him to follow Eric Gatlin(Roy Livingstone), an accountant who has been investigating Ray's company. Problems start when Ray, while drunk, orders Sean to kill Eric. And he does it. Things go wrong when Ray decides to make Sean disappear destroying his mind with violent punishment and humiliation.From the point where Sean kills Eric, we go in the same boat with him, as he goes through a downward spiral of human degradation, traveling from guilt, to confusion and finally to his rebirth, in a state where humanity, morals and values are not important anymore. Chris McKenna acting is very important because he manages to be likable even when he is part of gruesome acts, both as victim and/or criminal. He has that look of innocence that hides a dark side and he manages to carry the film.The support cast also includes Kari Wuhrer, as Eric's widow who also becomes a central part of Sean's trip to hell. She gives a fine performance, although it's obvious that Sean is the main character. He is the most developed of all and McKenna's performance is up to the challenge.The film has very disturbing images of violence, and while it may not be as graphic as "Kill Bill" for example, the strength of the violence is in the lack of humanity that the character manifest. He is more than an ant in this world. He is the king.Stuart Gordon has managed to create a film that, while maybe it's not one of his best efforts; it's very well done, has a VERY interesting story to tell, and manages to capture the attention every second of it.

回复 :电影一开始,导演胡子杰给女演员李圆满(陈翠梅 饰)讲了一个故事。“宫本武藏到了很老的时候,有一个年轻人来挑战他。他们约好第二天中午在山上决斗。但是宫本武藏一直到太阳到了西边才出现。年轻人非常生气,宫本武藏背对著阳光,在决斗的关键时刻,故意让年轻人对著刺眼的阳光,一瞬间把他杀了。”“这不是胜之不武吗?”“对那个年轻人来说,剑就是一切。对年老的宫本武藏来说,一切都是剑。阳光是剑,时间也是剑。”圆满看着子杰,“所以?”“以前,电影就是一切。到了现在,一切都是电影。如果我们置身事外,在自己的生命里做一个冷静的旁观者,生活就是一场电影。”“你不会是找我来拍洪尚秀电影吧?”子杰笑着摇头,“我要拍一部动作片。”
