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.

挺好看的呀，怎么评分这么低？生活里确实见到男主这样的男子，拍得很有意思～
厌女烂片，无论是从故事情节角度看，还是从对女性的恶意角度看，都令人作呕。
比《新秩序》好看，后期两次亮底牌让人物动机变得合理，也给叙事带来节奏起伏，前半段漫无目的的闲游+艳遇也非常自然畅快，其实片名就已剧透，这样安置在尾端的反转，让故事讽刺又合情，8/10。
其实这本应该是一种更加内化的情绪，但无论是表演还是影像调度，都没有找到那个平衡点。
看完后真的想骂娘（甚至还不如《新秩序》），不过属于Franco正常发挥，大概也是《慢性》各种意义上的“精神续作”（or 故技重施？）。如果把刻意掩藏的信息前置，整部片都不成立了，把电影创作核心依赖于关键信息的隐藏，其唯一目的只是操纵不知情的观众心理，和任何表达都毫无关系，更不用说片中那些幼稚肤浅的调度和符号象征。
银幕上的主角似乎没有任何动机 只有导演恶作剧般的三个反转 推着他前进 这也让观众的认真看起来像个玩笑 很多人因此勃然大怒。可是人生 哪来那么多能动性哦 糊里糊涂也挺好
以为结局会有反转，天怒可却看不出来谁才是“天”
短评厌女浓度过高了哈，这个电影讽刺的也有你们这群站在道德制高点上的人。
也许是有意为之，缺少弧光的角色使其活动的环境，即墨西哥，成为影片最大的主角。我们跟随男主的轨迹进入墨西哥社会的各个剖面（高档度假村、平民海滩、监狱、医院、午夜的首都街道），在主角的遭遇里深感人与环境和自我的疏离：表层的——因不懂语言、不解风情而产生的与异文化的疏离；深层的——人与人之间无法沟通的隔阂；本质的——内心深处探寻生命意义时的无力。
倦怠、不明来由而难以驱散的倦怠、突如其来的变故与死亡也无法阻断的倦怠、神经质的病理的倦怠，想就这么耗费这时间这生命这世界、什么都不做。
莫名其妙的开始，莫名其妙的推进，莫名其妙的结尾
也许是有意为之，缺少弧光的角色使其活动的环境，即墨西哥，成为影片最大的主角。我们跟随男主的轨迹进入墨西哥社会的各个剖面（高档度假村、平民海滩、监狱、医院、午夜的首都街道），在主角的遭遇里深感人与环境和自我的疏离：表层的——因不懂语言、不解风情而产生的与异文化的疏离；深层的——人与人之间无法沟通的隔阂；本质的——内心深处探寻生命意义时的无力。
2022-64 《局外人》的重写。来自家族的梦魇，现代科技无时无刻的侵蚀，亲密关系的无从适应，男主主动选择成为墨西哥的流亡者，遁入异乡的虚无。而导演在有限的篇幅之类凝聚了大量的隐喻，以贫富差距的展示作为背景，幻像中的猪不只存在于过去，更是在危险环境下不自知的富人本身。更重要的是，最后的主题并非贫富差距，无关病症，更不是道德漩涡——这都是导演铸就的障眼法，而我们需要做的，即是跟随角色走向隐蔽的桃花源中，去感受那份虚无与孤独。
勉强两分。乔·卡纳汉目前为止最差作品。《血溅十三号警署》的故事模板，加了一些《五路追杀令》的元素。被追杀的黑金掮客来警局避难，杀手巴勒特马上追踪到位，但随后的变态杀手占去了最多戏份（还有俩没啥战斗力的黑警，这个寒酸的杀手阵容比《五路追杀令》可差远了）。警局里的警察都是些摆设，只有主角黑妹能打，但其实全片的动作场面不多，巴勒特跟格里罗、黑妹简直是聊天三人组，而黑妹的演技又撑不起她那些装酷台词，令人难熬。全片最好的一段是黑妹在微冲轰防弹门的当口更改地下牢房密码锁，制造了紧迫感，也显出这个角色的判断力，至于她接下来识别黑警的那段，更多是剧本硬坳了。其余浴室对决等不多的动作戏在气氛营造、动作设计上都不行。散落了一些恶趣味，比如巴特勒要跟格里罗单挑，马上就被后者放倒；变态杀手杀警后，飘落的兔宝宝气球
看到一个太有意思的评论：谁还不会摆烂了……
用KIRINJI的Aliens当闹钟 这个床可以不用起了
厄运还是阴谋，仁者见仁，智者见智。恐怖的不是妖魔鬼怪，而是人心的阴暗，为女主鸣不平，细思极恐的结局值两星
片子质量一般，有很多隐喻，但什么得饶人处且饶人的评论把我看笑了，简直滑天下之大稽，不论片子有没有传达这层意思，自己倒是先把自己带入到恶棍作家身上了啊，也想当掌控下层生死的上位者？您配么？还是特么传统美德，我呸！！害死妻儿的人明明是他自己！但凡有一点点良心就先找根绳子吊死自己吧！
当一个富二代从厌倦了富人的生活开始到放弃了令人羡慕的富人生活，看似表面毫无波澜的情绪之下，是对这个时代的厌恶
