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.
6 网大版纽瓦克还真没愧对网大这个质量。
劇本比較大膽地在虛虛實實中跳躍，虛實之間處理的還是比較到位。多線索並不混亂。但是整個電影乏善可陳，亮點不多。
三星半，不像前傳的「前傳」。視覺是懷舊的，語境是現代的，但時代元素、借古鑑今的連結度實在弱。關於Tony是怎樣煉成的，亦只是蜻蜓點水。本片最大的作用，可能就是叫觀眾再看一次昔日神劇。
本来以为是雪山救人，结果从雪山上带着一个神志不清的人走下来不过占了全片篇幅的五分之一而已。本身还掉进雪洞里半天才爬出来的女主，从风雪肆虐的山上就这样带着一个腿摔伤了的男人平安回到山脚下，实在有点轻描淡写了。一看是根据文章改编，不是“根据真实事件改编”，似乎让我明白了什么。反正没有那种探险类，绝境救援类电影的惊心动魄就是了。
有些地方前后呼应的还挺有意思 就是为了三张假钞至于这样吗 整得神神秘秘的
之前非常期待，结果不如人意，设定不错，演员演技很无语，整部剧看下来一言难尽
emmm……六分吧，不能再多了，饼哥最近没啥片子了吗。
黑道家族只看了一季，也是很久之前，几乎已经不记得剧情，就当没看过黑道家族看的。人物有点多，2小时明显不够说清楚。黑人平权运动有一种强行加入的意思。
Every Trick in the Book 2021 1080p BluRay x264 DTS
一股子伊坂幸太郎味，还是状态很一般时候的伊坂，「拍手することで妖精が死なないのなら、俺もちょっと救われるかもしれない。今度どうしようもなくなった時は俺も手を叩くよ。」，这可太像伊坂式乐观主义了。
Naomi遭這個罪幹嘛…還貢獻了一個毫無意義的全裸
“如果你们愿意相信我，就请你们鼓掌吧！你没有这种经历吗？虽然已经束手无策，但还是希望有奇迹发生。如果只要鼓掌精灵就可以不用死去，那我也会感到一些安慰。下次要是到了束手无策的时候，我会试着鼓掌的。”
有点意思，但也就仅此而已了，深究就有点经不起推敲了。
“即便是身处暴风雪，即便是承受痛苦，顶着寒风。依然有太多美好！宇宙就是一场美好的无限风暴，”积极乐观的人生态度，唤醒每个人心中对生命的热爱！加上精致的画面和庄丽的山景，赏心悦目！
夙凰変成鳩，三万假市的兜兜装装。一-幵始人物太せ朶碎，呈然最后串達起来了有点思路微妙的感党，但半竟前面的故事垪得不咋地。
傻X豆瓣，居然缺了两个女角色，Gabriella Piazza和Lesli Magherita演的
两星半，剧情平淡冗长，佩服自己居然看完了。
这个剧本有新的亮点。。。。用“现在进行时”去推敲一连串看似不相干的事件。落魄主人公小说家的第一人称+现在进行时+三枚假钞引发出一连串环环相扣的情节。一些悬疑推理想象，对于从小就看柯南，金田一或其他悬疑推理小说我倒觉得没有多大的突出亮点。唯一可以推荐的就是用 “现在进行” 的元素贯穿整个情节~~~~观影的代入感很强，太有特色了！！！
喜欢看娜奥米•沃茨的电影，从不刻意遮掩岁月的痕迹，反而是最美的。
与瑞茜·威瑟斯彭主演的《涉足荒野》如出一辙，都是自我救赎重新面对社会的一种方式。只不过娜奥米沃茨以54岁高龄出演这样尺度的小制作是否值得？
