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.
它就是当“香港”“警匪”“动作”这三个词放在一起时，一部电影该有的样子。
三星半，看得人非常疲惫且不耐烦。陈木胜的“撞玻璃美学”真的非常审美疲劳了。制作上精又不够精，糙也不算糙。综合下来就是完全没有味道，甄子丹起床那场戏我还以为是在宋庄找了个实景棚拍的......
打戏非常好看，无论是甄子丹还是谢霆锋都帅的一比。反派写的有问题，一会儿心黑手辣疯批杀人，一会儿又化身正义使者理直气壮地复仇，割裂感非常严重，你们也都不是什么好人别全赖上司了。弹幕也有一部分三观不正的，影响了观影心情。
粤语早场，从头打到尾，拳拳到肉场面高燃，没有明显bug，敖的角色复杂多面，包括他的人物转折全都展现出来。面对人生重大选择时，我该怎么办？这个只有当事人自己最清楚。感谢导演在生命的最后带来这样一部纯正的港片。致敬用生命在拍戏的陈导！
白头神探后最能诠释害人精三字的警察，内部调查一段让我笑的无比畅快
小谢有个镜头拍的真是巨帅。整体的话，人物刻画、心理转变都没啥说服力，所有配角都是工具人并且脸谱化。
港版小丑，帅则帅了，但魅力到帅就停了，没了狂娟。而且情节设计的有问题，这不能叫冤狱啊……
影片剧情老套了点但是不重要，动作戏爽了就行了，每场打戏都很精彩，从棚户区到下水道到商场再到废弃教堂，机车vs汽车，到枪战再到肉搏，毫不拖泥带水，爽到爆炸！！！！
最后一幕虽然都放在教堂了，但是这个人设本身还是很难扭回来。当然片尾直接转到缅怀陈木胜导演，那又是另外一回事了，RIP
y1s1 教堂景做得不错。谢霆锋可能身上的块是不如甄子丹，所以每次肉搏都穿着衣服…谭耀文！！让刚复习完壹号皇庭的我情何以堪。阿安肯定没有打botox…剧情就不说了…来看老邦瓜的为什么要看剧情…
1.叶师傅在，动作戏设计的真心不错。2.又是在警匪的匪做戏的剧作，对于上级官级制度的审视，两个人物写的不错，只是觉得没能讲得更加深刻。
Police Story forever, Benny Chan forever.
中规中矩，还是港片小格局那一套，兄弟反目，差人变匪，场面放港片里不算太大，最后的决战也是一般般，甄子丹拿谢霆锋头弹钢琴那段挺逗，当然，这是陈木胜最后的作品，多加一星缅怀。刘德华吴京陈小春张家辉那首缅怀主题曲不错系列，很燃。
剧本工整，节奏流畅，场面火爆，每个人都不掉线，这些标准化要求对于今天的华语电影来说已经成为相当高的难度了，这样看，陈木胜的去世对香港动作类型片来说的确是损失。
不过中环都要炸飞了，每一拳都到肉了，谁还管这些呢？陈导一路走好，希望有人继续您的衣钵，香港电影不死，警匪片不死！
一切都太悬空太漫画了。很努力，却也很疲惫。
没有外界吹嘘的那么好，可能国语配音有点影响，陈导一路走好。
除了硬桥硬马没什么好夸的了，谢霆锋长的很帅，没啦。
剧情多少有点无语了，除了剧情其他都还可以。甄子丹谢霆锋还是有一定的保证的。很传统的警察因为高层原因跳匪，昔日兄弟反目成仇，最后来一段势均力敌的打戏，尘埃落定之后警察姗姗来迟。群演很出戏，小孩子就算了，街头枪战，那些路人真的是…无了个大语…
是反派主角谢霆锋的电影，永远怀念陈木胜导演！
