David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
不能因為某些演員而詆毀整部片子⋯⋯編劇、場景、動作、道具都這麼精良了，還要什麼自行車？！
真不知道怎么评到6.8的，一镜到底的烂片。
剧情男主有点狗血和夸张外，反派也有点不太在线，无脑地送和无脑地冲。但是还凑合。
感觉就是一场真人版cs，晚上喝着啤酒消遣看挺不错。
这种“一镜到底”的形式有什么意义，反而让电影显得虚假和廉价。
强推这部片子，接近2个小时的一镜到底，考验的不仅仅是演员，还有摄影师的功力。都不管场景小的弊端了，就冲这摄影师的功力和导演的毅力，这就是高分片
加长版 美剧 海豹突击队，还没美剧一集紧凑，几位士兵牺牲前的片段有黑鹰坠落的影子，没啥亮点
电影后三分之一都是男主角个人秀，结尾草草了事，正如开局
动作戏真不错，就是少了些混乱元素，枪战拍的太干净了。摄影很厉害，导演的调度能力非常稳，可惜剧情太弱。阿什里和斯科特出乎意料的演得好。
一部小成本电影，剧情短小精悍，动作场面干净利落、火爆刺激；在有限的拍摄成本下拍出这种效果，表明摄制组是有一定拍摄水平的，三星评价，实至名归；多给一星，给予鼓励！另外，我这次看的版本部分翻译有问题，以后有机会肯定找翻译更好的版本两刷。
撑到47分钟开始小金个人秀，但我已经晕到不要不要了😓😱😥😣😵☠️☠️🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤪🤪🤪🤪
“曼苏尔，告诉你一个好消息，你要当爹了，你老婆怀孕了！”“老子还在坐牢呢，谁干的？”“据说是特朗普帮的忙”
拉一下分数 战术细节到位 人肉炸弹客的表演也很赞 一镜到底的叙事方式也不是仅仅形式化那么简单，有精巧的设计过。
要是一开始女主对阿明说出他妻子怀孕了，不知道这么拍是否能更有新意？！
狼叔打不动了，披了个科幻和悬疑的外衣，谈了场悲剧的恋爱。西部世界的Mea和Clement出演
又是宣传美军特种兵的，几个人杀了一堆恐怖分子，反正最后都是happy ending，剧情一般，动作尚可，除了对手弱智点以外，其他都在可控范围
小成本格斗片之王阿金斯。
恭喜阿金斯创下动作片前无古人的“一镜到底”成就。比起《狂武藏》那样毫无观赏性的超级长镜头，起码one shot真正把观赏性和长镜头结合在了一起。在考虑到老斯的电影一项拍的快和成本低，里面打斗和镜头调度已经相当惊人了，可能也是他这几年来最值得观赏性，最具有突破性的一部作品了。
这个形式还是有点意思的，所以给四星鼓励一下。剧本一般，有个别比较亮眼的地方，但也有很多时候让人感觉编得不怎么考究。
不管是真一镜还是拼接的爽就完了 这绝对受过专业训练过的 阿金和暮光吸血女都很亮眼 这种片再谈剧情的小bug都是耍流氓了 亮点太大缺点都显得小了 绝对值得一看的影片
