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.
和一个男的看这部电影，他说：“你看刘浩存眼里有星光”，我说：“那是美瞳！”
确实让我笑了，一颗星；有刘昊然，一颗星；风景很好，一颗星。
想说的太多了，但都没说好。沈腾和尹正太好笑了，刘昊然和刘浩存的演技缺一点儿。但实在太喜欢韩寒的调儿了，歌也好听，刘昊然还帅…
跟全世界的 17 岁女孩一样，项微心想像过各种自己在未来的样子，而她身边的陶宥全、方琦然、张元硕也一样，故事开始时的他们，并没有想过这一年竟然会有这么多
不过现实中看真的很偶像剧很甜啦
还在整年轻时的老一套，不过要是够好也没所谓，一点进步也没有，反而倒退了。不知所谓，如坐针毡！
后劲很大，喜欢韩寒风格的你会觉得是最佳的一部，我很喜欢，我们这场都是等电影黑屏了才离座，我准备二刷，刘昊然，有点爱上他了
2. 想吃台式早餐
还在整年轻时的老一套，不过要是够好也没所谓，一点进步也没有，反而倒退了。不知所谓，如坐针毡！
全片的highlight可能就剩片尾的主题曲了。
【3.4】为了娄看的🚬用爱拿1分给娄（但是镜头真的好少🚬） 看到一半遭不住开了2倍速 太soso了 没啥亮点 just把故事讲完了吧 湾湾！你的青春片就这了吗！！🚬
这部片干脆叫《我的饭团日记》好了 如果我还是中学生应该还能给这部电影三颗星^-^隔壁09年的妹妹看的津津有味大喊“好感动啊！”的那个瞬间我甚至皱紧了眉头 台词和吉他的部分也是尴尬得抠脚
这部电影只能让我觉得韩寒是一个既不懂生活，也不懂爱情的人，一切在他眼里都像过家家。
故事线太乱了，支离破碎，强行热血，刻意怀旧。刘浩存太尬了，挤出来的笑容和0分台词，看得我脑仁疼，跟刘昊然的感情线也是拉垮。唯一值得夸的就是运镜。总而言之，3颗星给韩寒吧。
5.韩寒，远离爱情片和县城吧，你大少爷，你真拍不出来，你拍的县城青年像傻子，贾樟柯刚拍电影的时候都不这么拍，你是不是疯了？
韩寒错了，错在他一直活在新概念作文获奖以前，时光驻留，成长停滞，心中有一个永远不曾长大的小镇青年，和他孤岛一样的梦。
非常小清新的一部台湾青春爱情片，看完之后很有当年的感觉，我们在校园时期也何不是都有同样追女孩子的经历呢，这部电影又勾起了当年的那些小确幸，而且电影中的歌曲都非常好听，而且还是原创，这样一部片子值得到影院去看一看，和喜欢的人或者喜欢的回忆一起
台灣青春校園電影一直可以的。总要相信有人爱着自己，也许万一或许大概有呢？
仅仅发表一下个人观点。满分10分在我心里可以打7.5分，是挺不错的电影。每个人的喜好口味不同，请相互理解。建议以下群体在春节期间观看:
②含腾量不高，加在一起二十分钟左右，但笑点很多。
