King of the Ants

(2003)





Director:
Stuart Gordon

Plot:

The handyman Sean Crawler meets the electrician Duke Wayne while painting a house and they drink a couple of beers together and have a small talk. A couple of days later, Duke offers a job to Sean, and they meet the corrupt constructor Ray Matthews in a golf club. Ray proposes Sean to stalk the accountant from the City Hall Eric Gatley, who is investigating him, and report every movement of Eric to Ray. While chasing Eric, Sean sees his wife Susan and has a crush on her. When Ray offers US$ 13,000.00 to Sean to kill Eric, he accepts, but steals Ray's dossier before leaving the crime scene. However Sean is double-crossed by Ray and is brutally tortured by the real estate mobster and his men in a lonely ranch, but he does not tell where the file is. Sean succeeds in escaping, but severely wounded, he goes to the mission where Susan works and four weeks later he is healed. He tries to start a new life with Susan, but when she finds the documents and the truth about him, he plots a powerful revenge against Ray and his men.

Sean Crawley is a young drifter who is hired by a shady electrician named Wayne Duke to work for a shady real estate mogul named Ray Matthews to stalk a prominent Los Angeles accounting investigating him. When Sean is ordered to kill Matthews, he does so, but Matthews and his thugs go back on their word to pay Sean when they decide to kill him instead. Sean escapes after enduring weeks of torture and hides out in the home of the murdered man, while his unsuspecting wife Susan takes a liking to Sean, unaware of his connection to her murdered husband.

Sean Crawley is your typically average young man, working to make end's meet and getting through life with his head just above water, until one day he meets one Duke Wayne and who in turn introduces him to the charismatic Ray Mathews. It is in this introduction that our young man's life is about to make a change for the worse. For just a small amount of money, he agrees to commit the most heinous of crimes for Mathews, his luck is about to sink into deeper pitfalls of human depravity, for being betrayed and constantly beaten for certain information. Here Human nature changes direction, the wrong direction, in both the physical and mental state, and finds that at the bottom of the food chain the human spirit will rise to new atrocities in order to survive.
