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.
弄个小短片就完美了，结果一个半小时，剧情拖拉冗长还毫无波澜，最后那一箭来的也是突然，然后就莫名其妙结束了，就很奇怪
极其老套的剧情，因贪婪而死于荒漠，毫无新意
MTC指数即将跌破40。没想到莫妮卡也老了，连叔也别再接动作戏了。
男主本有机会可以走的，砸下一块金子可以跟那辆路过的车一起走，贪婪的欲望永无止境。他更没有想到一个才认识不到两天的同伙会等他耗死在那里自己再独吞，我都想到了，这点挺不符合逻辑
看完了，比上一部 Blacklight 好很多，我觉得可以给7分。
不至于这么低 还是可以及格的 在卖力凸显剧情 而不是连姆尼森
太累了，基本就是在叙事，尼森老了 性感女神也老了 算了 不看了 没看完
真的很奇怪，虽然连姆叔近几年的高产网大我基本都没看，但是上次看他的冷血追击我居然意想不到的喜欢，而这部片子就像边境杀手版冷血追击，又让我前所未有地给一个没及格的片子打了四星。其实应该是双雄的戏但是只宣传了连姆叔一个人，皮尔斯的妆造其实是能把人更带入故事的，尤其在是观众已经疲惫到看见连姆叔的脸都知道他下一步要干什么的如今。结局落在了墨西哥警探身上绝对是优点，但故事的动因不成立也是绝对硬伤，也许主创也发现迟暮杀手洗心革面，对于救不动了的连姆叔来说是个适配度极高的题材，不过毫无逻辑和铺垫地开始故事还是可见草率。如今看连姆尼森一年十部网大，可能和港片迷看那一大票劳模一年十部片是同样的感受，如果不是流媒体，投资再多一点，这片子是可以小爆一波的，但可惜在小时候的银幕偶像现在不复英勇，电影市场不逢盛世。
剧情类似《边境杀手》
很少不用营救命名的连姆叔的犯罪动作片，剧情流畅，莫妮卡大美女老了但记忆碎片的盖表演还不错啊，况且小姑凉很漂亮，商业片中规中矩，为什么评分这么低呢？连姆叔70了至少多加一星。
和《英伦对决》类型差不多，故事也差不多，设定也差不多。
和《英伦对决》类型差不多，故事也差不多，设定也差不多。
果然连姆·尼森大叔这种动作枪战片必定有营救二字，哈哈。
当你最后无奈失望的时候，发现竟然另有一个黑暗小队
没拍出那种被阿兹海默折磨记忆混乱的感觉，片名记忆没有很好的展现，剧情有点冗长。
尼森死了，还有忘的病，老杀手也有下不了手的，对未成年人。有钱人干的事确实为大众不容。人口贩卖，西方很盛行啊。腐败的西方。正义，还得墨西哥人，没霉国什么事儿。
暮年杀手情陷失忆迷局，虽有老马丁出手执导，但没有如预想中的效果，明显可见几处场景设定的随意化，无力感弥漫全片。
连姆尼森是老了，但是一定要给他安排老年痴呆的设定吗
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。
连姆这些年一直在演老当益壮，吃营救的老本，这次终于演了一个英雄迟暮，搞不定事态的真老人，而且还牺牲了。
