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.
正派写成这个样子 如果不是讽刺 那就算是大失败了
5.色彩斑斓的通俗流行动作片，带入一些游戏视点。
才发现竟然没有标记。。。每年能有一部这个水平的动作片是多么的幸运
IMAX粤语场。陈木胜导演用这部本不该是“告别作品”的作品向大家宣告：他依然是执导港产时装动作片这块的佼佼者。某种程度上和去年年末的《拆弹专家2》很相似，但是本片相比前者更专注于体制内的妥协与冲突(不像前者在最后将格局做得很大，这部自始至终基本上都集中在甄与谢角色间“留在体制与离开体制”而造成的戏剧冲突上)，尤其是许久未在大荧幕前这么让人感到惊艳的谢霆锋的角色的暴戾更是加重了全片这一主题上的力度。文戏部分群戏有些垮，不过陈导不愧是最会拍谢霆锋的导演，反派“阿敖”这一角色塑造得非常到位；而甄家班的动作设计在此类时装动作片中更是信手拈来，最后甄同谢的一对一搏斗在致敬《杀破狼1》的巷战基础上加入了不少新的创意。最后，陈导一路走好！R.I.P, Mr. Benny Chan.
怒火，怒火，那是喷薄的戾气
只能说太惨了。他们，警察，路人。
7分，感觉剧情设置上和《拆弹专家2》有些重复，相似的白变黑故事，相似的价值取向冲突，不知道这是不是未来港匪片的标配了😂。特效和动作上还是没话说，两位男主间的打斗依然精彩。
一怒尖沙咀，火拼是与非。一根导火线两条人命，当摄影师由潘耀明变为冯远文，动作指导李忠志变为甄子丹，配乐依然是尼古拉斯埃热拉。风格有所转变又呈现曾经的怒火街头的爆炸感，还是那份初心与心中的怒火 。
完全可以说是《男儿本色》跟《新警察故事》的混合体，但是却没有想象中的好，非常的套路化，全片最精彩的就是飞车追逐以及教堂搏斗，情节场面好于导火线但是格斗戏完全不如导火线，林国斌卢惠光完全没有发挥的地方很可惜，整部片子就是谢霆锋的个人秀，演技有所进步但真的没有网上吹的那么夸张，还是保持了动不动就嘴角抽筋的坏习惯，甄子丹明显是打不动了，最好的动作几乎都给了谢霆锋，当然谢霆锋也不负众望动作非常出色，但也仅此而已，对我而言，这并不是一部很爽快的作品，甚至武戏还不如《男儿本色》。
像《拆弹专家2》一样，都是讲一个警察被抛弃后变成匪徒，不太合理，但也许表现了如今港人的一种心态。好久没见到那么精彩的动作戏，最后复刻《杀破狼》和《导火线》的时候甄子丹恍惚又回到了十几年前的状态。
一星给最后的打戏，确实很扎实，尤其对谢霆锋这种不是打戏出生。剧情还是有点套路，一个太耿直而不太合群的正派，一个受委屈而报复社会的反派，以及一个大陆女星演的老婆……
耶稣也保不住他再次出现，陈木胜好像对这句台词很满意。
大家把身材保持那么好真的是为了演这种烂戏吗？
世上再无陈木胜的电影，疫情过后重归电影院，拳拳见血，招招致命，又回到了旧日港片的大场面，包括劫匪吃面，都是那种感觉。#20210828
我看到许多人都在讨论情节和港片是否没落之类。鲜有人提及宗教哲学和一切事情的原点。导演为什么要安排甄子丹在法庭上作证前说上帝，最后又为什么安排在教堂打斗以及死亡，神像倒塌，死于神像。你们有思考过吗？电影艺术不仅仅是故事情节枪战，导演想体现自己艺术追求某种意义上要靠意象。“许多人都觉得自己遵从了神的旨意，就靠近了神”“神佛从没说有绝对的善恶，也没说你要如何才是善恶。”你以为你在接近，其实你在远离。宗教哲学绝不是一物决定论，这里不讨论甄子丹的对错。可以参考《大佛普拉斯》。
PS：对于陈木胜导演的去世 实属感到惋惜 但是这于他来说大概不是最佳
忘恩负义用完即弃，智商不够子弹来凑，冗长稀碎昏昏欲睡，
4.0➕ 继年初的《拆弹专家2》之后很惊喜地又看到一部让人入迷的港片 事实证明老一辈香港导演的经验还是摆着的 正如其他人所言 这可能是今年最成功的华语商业电影（以前还不觉得谢霆锋帅 这部直接把我征服了）最后 致敬陈木胜导演
电影前半部分，一直贯穿着陈木胜独有的警匪动作片气质。。。
这部片子，几场动作戏让人带入了2000之后的那段港片中，味道对了却拖沓了些。其次，感情输送似乎出现了问题，反正我是没闹明白那个最早自杀的兄弟问题和其他人的感情纽带。谢霆锋在很多年之后又贡献出了一个绝佳的反面形象，突破了很多狂躁喧嚣的表演模式。
