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.
中半部开始掉，越往下看越减分。Considering the pandemic and wildfire was somewhat impressive... #TIFF 2021
杰克的演技一如既往优秀，本片的多次爆发戏也给他充分的自我展示空间。但面对几乎原封不动的故事，相较于原片以平淡见真章，从冷静到压抑到解脱，本片的好莱坞式三段表述还是落于下成，就像片中新增的洛杉矶大火背景，喧嚣吵闹、灰尘扑面。
片子也一般，但我是越来越稀罕Jack了，哈哈~
和原版几乎没有区别...加的几个外景画面反而有点突兀（可能先入为主了吧）
完全照搬原版所有的设定对白和镜头 但本片最后的结尾却有些状况之外 唯一胜过的是杰克吉伦哈尔积极戏剧化的表演 平心而论本片不属于难拍的范畴 演员对对白和情绪的把握是片子最核心的基础 本片没有最好的地方在于演员卖力的同时没有把节奏和情绪共同控制调度起来 自然比起原版更加差强人意
很喜欢吉伦哈尔，不过看过一次原版，仅有的新奇创意和剧情反转都不存在了，只能说非常一般
前半截演技还在线，后半截敷衍至极…粗制滥造的改编
老吉和编剧都用力过猛的翻拍之作，很多设定和剧情安排都有些画蛇添足的感觉，经不起推敲，让人有些出戏。
类似911接线的电影已经有不少了，这一部加了接线员自己的罪过，画蛇添足
杰克的演技一如既往优秀，本片的多次爆发戏也给他充分的自我展示空间。但面对几乎原封不动的故事，相较于原片以平淡见真章，从冷静到压抑到解脱，本片的好莱坞式三段表述还是落于下成，就像片中新增的洛杉矶大火背景，喧嚣吵闹、灰尘扑面。
独角戏电影，演得还是可以的，就是剧情偏弱点。
有吸引力有转折, broken people save broken people, 最后结局不大喜欢
故事蛮有趣的，一度对于男主的行为感到愤怒，心想应该是隐藏线男主经历过什么，结果情感上并不是很能串联起来…
此片根据丹麦同名影片改编，故事与台词基本无改变，连场景都一样，但观影的感觉就差之远矣。丹麦影片的警察冷静、克制，演员收放自如，导演也把控得很好。此片主演吉伦哈尔表演太过用力，所饰演的警察过于投入，情绪暴躁，将自己当成上帝，喜欢操控一切。其形象让人讨厌，其失败也在所难免。
给电话两头儿的演技加一星。
3星，演员阵容很强，但跟原版比起来，美国版显得很暴躁，戾气，杰克的表演也是用力过猛。缺少反思，多了一份粗鲁莽撞。
老练的福导，精湛的吉伦。因为贴身工作人员感染，他坐一辆Van里11天，全程遥控指挥电影拍摄。前圣塔莫尼卡警局警官任执法顾问。为了迎合美术基调，LAPD ECC置景做了一定艺术化处理，但细节基本没有失实。
原版还是更拽着人一刻都没有出戏；这个呢，不知道是不是有原版打底，怎么都进不去。
即便是翻拍这个分数也真的太低了，是福奎阿的镜头不好还是吉伦哈尔的表演不强？！这种怼脸的大特写对导演和演员的要求都太高了，而且人物的心理轨迹要比原版还要清晰完整，这么局促的空间内节奏好得不得了，每一个气口都位置都对，且该短短该长长的（除了结尾厕所戏结尾长的有点狗尾续貂），豆瓣这评分是不是有点装大了？！
热知识：给Henry配音的萨斯加德是饰Joe的杰克-吉伦哈尔的姐夫，嗯，他老婆是玛吉-吉伦哈尔
