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.
3.6 “你只是个倒霉蛋“，果然政治才是最惊悚的，因为没有人性只有立场。会英语目前很重要。最后那1跳扯了。抢摩托不给那真实了。
从画面到叙事都很复古，镜头运用也是增加不少悬疑感！还是值得一看的
我觉得还可以呀 虽然剧情前期铺垫很慢 后期逃命追杀看的人紧张冒汗 男主战斗力太强了 跟《信条》一模一样
一对情侣在希腊旅游 遭遇车祸 男主看到绑架小男孩 差点被人灭口 后一路逃亡的故事 最终小男孩被救
开头拖沓 结尾跳车成功也能理解 但确实有点扯了...中间节奏很好 用胶片拍希腊的景色很好看
这拍的是个啥啊，看短评才知道配乐是坂本龙一，怎么，教授也只是个没有灵魂的荷里活打工人罢了！男主全程内心戏可能像佟湘玉一样，我的命好苦，我就不应该来，我不来我的娘子就不会死。
好好一题材拍成这样，不知道是不是该怪男主角太无聊。
oh...原来是教授作的配乐，怪不得一部无甚亮点的逃亡公路片在bgm的加持下也能有些紧绷感，话说大卫的戏路也越来越宽了，大概是成为《信条》的男主之后，被更多导演和公司发现到了吧。
本来想说好久没看到坎妹的电影了然后看这名字应该是个恐怖片吧感觉可以看看结果坎妹就出来十五分钟走了个过场然后全程看得是跟男主一样莫名其妙 唯一的一点惊悚感都体现在配乐上了 故事倒是很写实也有一些逃亡带来的悬疑但是明显没啥吸引力 然后这镜头下的希腊怎么这么破啊
手法挺老派的，悬念营造得有声有色，可惜情节展开后就越来越水，看着男主一路反杀，又回到了熟悉的网飞风格。
美国人在希腊的奇遇，有点类似哈里森福特的亡命天涯，不过略逊色一些。
变幻莫测的结局 信条的男主角主演 希腊街景令人垂涎 beckett.2021.1080p.web.h264-naisu #小两口的午后影院
剧情、配音都够差的，不紧张也不刺激，看了开头知道结尾那种。
太飒了，一个来自平民的对抗和反杀，除了大使馆部分有点拖沓，一路节奏高歌猛进，跳崖跳楼男主不亚于动作戏明星，不可小觑黑人的耐力
【4】撑起这个电影的是演员阵容，以及某种程度上对于希腊人文风情的展现。但综合来看，最终分数可能还是会不及格(低于6.0)。【5】一看到Boyd Holbrook就觉得他演的角色不是好人[笑哭]。
全程看一黑人像只黑猩猩一样吊着手跑来跑去，躲避追杀，却怎么都杀不死！雅典居然看不到黑人，长见识了
没那么差了。只是这个政治阴谋到底是什么东东我一直云里雾里...难道是“不重要，没必要搞清楚”的花边么？
展现了秀丽的风景，希腊的现状，其他得都没有在点上！
导演一到关键时刻就给慢动作，真是扣人心弦。。。没错，扣人心弦，我都多久没用过这个词了
手法挺老派的，悬念营造得有声有色，可惜情节展开后就越来越水，看着男主一路反杀，又回到了熟悉的网飞风格。
