蚁王杀机

如果你正在犹豫要不要看，我可以告诉你：这部《蚁王杀机》不是那种靠突然冒出来的鬼脸吓人的廉价恐怖片，而是Stuart Gordon拿手的那种慢慢往你骨子里渗的恶心感。George Wendt演的黑帮老大也怪有意思，平时老看见他演喜剧，这回想弄死主角那眼神阴森森的。剧情亮点在于蚁群意象的反复出现：它们既是具象的追杀威胁，也是主角内心愧疚感的具象化符号。 6️⃣6️⃣6️⃣。丹尼尔·鲍德温饰演的雇主一身精瘦戾气，其漫不经心的残忍与主角逐渐溃烂的忍耐形成一种诡异的权力博弈。那个演Duke的George Wendt，看过《Cheers》吧？平时演老好人，这片里演个变态黑帮头子，反差大得吓人。

　　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.
