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.
Amazon Prime 说是top 1的美国流行电影……看来不仅Netflix不可信，Prime也一样，下次还是老老实实查查豆瓣评分先
Bang bang, she shot me down
基本上就靠两人的回忆撑起了一本电影，情节缓慢，氛围很闷，需要极大的耐心。最后男主也算是为了旧情人而救赎，也许他老早知道自己的结局，也是身不由自己。电影有床戏，有露点。
就很无聊！一想到127个惨死的乘客，我就觉得你俩都挺该死的……
派又深情又帅，死前流鼻血那段美死我。看完只想说人得拒绝办公室恋情，节奏有问题但是派真的好棒哦
CIA中年情侣，为爱智障引发的悲剧，一飞机的人做垫背最终救了她，她哭着回家抱娃……大段的对话，各种闪回拼凑整个悬案，表演尚可，整体平庸。
特别简单的一个片子，说悬疑推理什么的都谈不上。大概也就一个短篇故事的内容量，单薄了点。但是拍的还行，几个阶段的各种穿插回忆时间线非常清楚。让我充分认清了，对……我就喜欢派派现在最成熟的这个阶段。最大的问题是我觉得这俩人真的不来电，cp感差点
译名完全脱离主题，简介也是，是一部很有质感的短篇，没有惊喜，看着还算舒服。
多条时间线伴着俩人一唱一和同时展开，拧在一起了还这么磨叽不应该啊，而且表演无张力无看点（唯一在要真相大白的时候抛出两极反转再反转，还挺有意思）但但但最差强人意的是故事竟然是建立在两人的爱情上，好一个惊悚，真心逻辑感人啊…
啊！还宝刀未老呢！派恩怎么已经这么老了……😭😭😭但是captain 演技还是很在线的，老了依然很有魅力！剧情就忽略吧，实在太墨迹看得很累，女主选角完全不ok
有点压抑，做爱的时候的BGM也很悲情。 要是早点和扣扣一起看电影，我就不用在冷风中吹一个半小时还花四百大洋了 呜呜
标准流媒体电影，剧情经不起推敲，剧本偷懒想当然，只靠设定的噱头和明星骗人，最后强塞个反转完成任务。
再好的配乐也拯救不了拖沓的故事…原来是讲爱情 （微笑脸
其实剧情还是不错的，就是太磨叽，几层反转也处理的挺紧凑，女主角没找好，说白了就是太老了有点不搭调
以为看的是悬疑、谍战片，最后发现是爱情片。。。3.0
当事人男女做出不同的选择，故事毫不例外走向悲剧的结尾 女主美眉需要一个满脸络腮胡子的克里斯 佩恩来配， 没胡子的克里斯依然像邻家小弟弟<(￣︶￣)/
这顿劲费的，这不耍人玩呢么……以为是间谍片，结果是追溯旧情，太多此一举了
结构上还蛮讨巧的，双主角表现得都不错，劳伦斯自从黑客帝国以后几乎没有出彩的发挥，这次的配角也还行。
超出预期，但是皮特这个角色显然不太聪明，不像是情报人员
剧本杀。一个挨了俄罗斯收拾跑到伊朗的车臣人，为了报复美国杀害了乘坐土耳其航班的奥地利人。
