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 :本片是对演员贾宏声在上世纪九十年代整十年不堪回首岁月的真实再现,并由贾宏声本人及其家人回归各自相应身份参与回首。贾宏声本是年轻有为的优秀演员,从1987年到1993年,他主演了《夏日的期待》、《银蛇谋杀案》、《北京你早》和《周末情人》等将近十部电影,渐渐小有名气。这期间,他接触并疯狂爱上了摇滚乐,视BEATLES乐队的约翰•列侬为精神之父,然而同时,他也接触了并非摇滚精神内核的大麻和软性毒品。自此,他不再接戏,性格变得极端、偏执和歇斯底里,无法再与其他人相处。其远在东北四平的父母为了不让儿子继续沉沦,提前退休把整个家搬到北京,随后的一切,都像一场似乎没有尽头的战争。贾宏声于2010年7月5日下午坠楼身亡,时年43岁。
