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.
虽然结尾慢慢成了闹剧，但是剪辑手法还算讲究，一个一个悬念展开，感觉还是蛮有意思的。
仿佛盖·里奇电影和《惊世狂花》的拼贴，狭小空间多线叙事诸多人物粉墨登场。如果是导演的处女作，说明宁浩有接班人了
不停的反转，最终也没有反转出一朵花出来！故弄玄虚过分了就成了装逼，就成了画虎不成反类犬！
一个多视角的封闭空间剧情片，影片前半程节奏不错，入戏很快，悬疑感很强，不过后半程节奏乱了，显得拖沓。配乐有几段让我魂穿怪奇物语，给我整出科幻感来了。
悬疑和小品融合的有点奇怪 笑点没那么好笑悬疑感制造的也没那么紧张
不管谁拍的电影涉及到倒卖人口犯罪，不论拍得水平如何，我都必须帮帮场子。
张颂文没啥发挥的地方可惜了。
好！看！虽然我日常迟到5分钟。。。不过这种不断重复的叙事方式好适合悬疑剧哦 而且反转一直有 完全不无聊 点映看的太值啦
这种片子在类型开头就必须有“巧合”要设置的妙，马明亮和人贩子的强行亲戚关系，就是另一大拙劣点，没有铺设的巧合，编剧为了故事继续只能强开“金手指”。最后一把火的意外，明显是故事编不下去，必须剧情杀三个，不然外卖员不会主动暴露。
居然有点烧脑，反转过瘾。小孩出来那一瞬间快破防了，为人父母见不得这些。愿世间光明多一些
作为悬疑剧还算是合格的，但感觉后面有点滥用升格了。
反转一路接一路，编剧太厉害了，偶尔的笑料让人忍不住，力赞！胡明的表演太精彩了，反而是让我印象最深刻的角色
非常流畅舒服的一次观影体验！多线重复性叙事，剧本杀的故事结构，很难想象是一部处女座；范伟的表演太出色了，张颂文虽然戏份不多，但他一站在那儿角色就立住了。摄影、剪辑、剧本、台词、灯光属于范文作品，真的可以拿出来给新导演们学习
豪华的演员班底 壮爷监制 张一凡剪辑 然而
很有想法的悬疑片，有疯狂的石头跟两杆大烟枪内味了，五重反转让人直呼卧槽，要不是被弹幕剧透了在电影院能笑出声来，就是结局的揭秘有点强行，前面铺垫的还不够，好在每个人的演技都在线弥补了这个缺点
抱着期待看的，前边还不错，多线叙事，没那么难看。梁超出来以后感觉就有些拖了，其实也是人物按的多了，五条线，窦骁的反转也有些生硬。那帮小孩儿是干啥的说实话我没看懂，是买来要饭还是干啥，放在这个题材里面总感觉别愣。
非常拖沓，剪辑、节奏、镜头都有问题，要不是为了范伟和张颂文，谁会来看这种片子
萌蠢小偷范伟，送钞小白脸窦骁，贪钱情人莉莉，调查人口拐卖的前警察张颂文，乳糖不耐尤老板——交电费引发的血案？11.11 11:00交易时间到⌚️小破屋里七个人一台大戏，大爆炸之后还有电摄像头还能恢复信号，不靠谱的肥水居然黑了户外大屏幕开直播…窦骁变帅只需，脱😆点开了三次终于看完了…
多线性叙事的故事还算完整，但不高级，细节经不起推敲，槽点较多
点映场。这么平庸是怎么被吹成低配疯狂的石头的，窦骁的演技这么多年了一点进步都没有的吗？！
