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 :简评:听名字就像是SABU的电影一样,其实很多元素都挺像SABU惯用的。矢口晴靖的这部电影也是同样的轻松有趣,从情节上稍嫌俗套,两个窝囊的小人物莫名其妙的捡到两亿日元,同时又是遭遇黑帮堵截,一路磕磕绊绊,机缘巧合,最终小男女终成一对,开着跑车四处开心去了。典型的大团圆结局,贵在开心,情节也一直很轻松,节奏又很紧凑,很有趣的一个电影。适合放松神经的时候观看。两人住大酒店,喝最贵的红酒,女孩买衣服、做头发,瞬间麻雀变凤凰,太YY的一个电影。难得开心。演员方面则由安滕政信和石田光搭档。
