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.
馬丁坎貝爾。連恩尼遜、蓋皮爾斯、莫妮卡貝露琪，主角群的老化焦慮。工序粗糙的動作電影，殺手與阿茲海默症。貝露琪的角色形象過度塑膠。剪接笨拙。正義、記憶，這些東西有什麼連動關係，在劇本層面沒有走太遠，更不用談視覺如何介入。明星的一些推進力還是有，但也是走不遠。
连姆尼森救人变成了为民除害般的复仇。也玩不出什么花样了
其实整体不错，就是结尾…虽然开放，但有点仓促。
我是挺喜欢这部作品的，比连姆大叔的前几部片子都强，比如《神枪手》《夺金营救》《黑金营救》等。这部大叔已经不是努力做英雄了，没有那种勉强的廉颇老矣尚能饭否的感觉了，而是想退休了，只是发现在退休不得的情况下，再加上已经患上跟死了没区别的病，最后疯一把而已，他早已做好了死亡的准备。影片的细节上还是有些瑕疵，但影响不算大。影片展现了一位杀手最后的绝唱！还有这个结局我也喜欢，要是警察来了个正义结局我就不爽了，幸亏是墨西哥警察来了个私刑，这个爽，对我胃口。我给4星7.3分！
十多年前看连姆尼森是那样，前些年看营救系列还是那样。这次终于肉眼可见的衰老。莫妮卡也老成不成样了。墨西哥籍警察戏份完全多余。印裔女警也是酱油不能再酱油。纯粹为了叠buff。也难怪，没点buff怎么好意思跟人打招呼。

绝望。荒漠戈壁滩，再多的黄金有啥用。据说，某星球上都是黄金元素。
②莫妮卡·贝鲁奇，曾经的美丽传说…
衰老，太残酷了，每个人都得面对。
大叔还有多少油就要复仇多少遍，虽然剧情越来越弱，也好歹请来了各个老朋友，真不容易
大叔真老了呀，手都抖了。以前电影里刀枪不入无坚不摧，这部里阿兹海默、中枪、死掉。老套是老套，至少流畅。在我这儿属于能看的。
看着自己喜爱的人老去是一种失落，如看着自己老去的一种感慨；众星云集，导演俱佳，完成度达标，爱liam和球花以及盖的粉可以温故。只是这版翻译的鸡飞狗跳，驴唇马嘴……
连姆尼森真的老了，当年还能亲切地称他为大叔，现在只能管他叫大爷，过去动作戏是看点，如今已经变成槽点。
本片最大的意义就是三位老同志刷存在感，连姆大叔、莫妮卡姐姐、盖皮尔斯，都已过花甲之年，加起来二百多岁了，向他们致敬！
行至朝雾里，坠入暮云间，与星辉一同为你沉迷。
基本上就是三星，老爷子近几年拍的电影有点一言难尽，这部还算好，起码看开头猜不中结尾
建议跳着看看动作戏就好了，有两段还是挺过瘾的。
老练加快准狠的范，连姆老爹客串杀手也不错，可惜英雄好汉也难敌时光流逝，英雄垂暮矣
情节简单 结尾突兀 人性贪婪 最终没有什么反转 也没有什么惊喜 几乎是一个人的独角戏
有盖皮尔斯有曾经的球花莫妮卡贝鲁奇，但仍然不好看。太多发正义春的人显得编剧低智
