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 :喬納森是事務所的兼職員工,西裝筆挺、傑出自制,下班從沒其他節目,回家就是睡覺。 但他每天早上睡醒的第一件事情,便是打開螢幕,讓影片裡的人告訴自己,前晚做了什麼。 影片裡的約翰,和喬納森長得一模一樣,卻過著截然不同的生活,自由自在,甚至放蕩不 羈。喬納森與約翰是最不尋常的兄弟,性格南轅北轍,卻共享同一具身體。早晚七點為界,各 自坐擁白天與黑夜。當喬納森開始覺得身體莫名疲倦,口袋出現陌生名片,面對有所隱瞞 的約翰,他雇用偵探,開始調查夜晚的自己。比爾奧利佛首次執導成績不俗,在簡潔畫面與流暢節奏中,灌注詭異的情緒,逐步透析出 科幻異色的視界。以《玩命再劫》橫掃影壇的好萊塢新星安索艾格特再挑大樑,分飾兩角, 亦正亦邪,完全不讓實力派女星派翠西亞克拉克森專美於前。
