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.
你永远可以相信陈木胜电影里的谢霆锋，太帅了，真的太帅了。现在的环境下，香港警匪片怨气真的太大了，不知道类型片研究会不会提出一个愤怒的时代的新概念。（秦岚那个角色竟然是小学舞蹈老师，甄子丹在体育馆救老婆那场戏实在是想艾特我师兄
警队围捕毒枭，却遇上蒙面悍匪黑吃黑，警队+毒枭团伙全死；
去年得知陈导去世的消息时，真的很震惊也很失落，中学时看《特警新人类》初识这位导演，后面的《新警察故事》《宝贝计划》《男儿本色》都非常喜欢，谢霆锋在宣传期间不时情绪崩溃，我相信那是真切的，陈木胜与他可算是如父如子。可就片子而言，《怒火》的质量确实又离我的期待有距离，陈木胜原本极擅长的文戏节奏出现了错乱，动作戏方面，越发显老的甄子丹又根本无法实现对《杀破狼》《导火线》的超越，只有ending算得上精彩，结尾对谢霆锋的悲剧命运处理非常赞。谢霆锋是目前港产动作片打星独苗，但也已过四十岁，没了可以愿意为之交付生命的陈导，将来怕是很难再见他玩命了，一个时代落幕。
卧槽，我太吃谢霆锋复仇疯批美人人设了！！！甄子丹也很硬汉。还是老香港警匪片的那味儿，枪战、肉搏、爆炸、追车，都是熟悉的味道。这样的港片拜托多来点吧！
谨以此片献给天国的陈木胜导演。
经典的港片黑白双雄模式，再也没有过去的味道
甄子丹演戲好屎，這個角色亦好虛偽，看似很有原則但自己越界就得。反派警隊棄卒的轉變亦無甚說服力，上司施壓對方是賊你就可以未審先判覺得打死人不需要負丁點責任？結尾結束位好，可惜甄子丹的身影完全帶不出情緒…
什么故事内涵、作者表达更是可有可无。
好爱谢霆锋这个角色，年度最爱反派预定，觉得他杀霍xx的时候好爽👌
小谢还是好帅好帅啊 摩托车那段特技惊心动魄 最后陈木胜的名字出来 我才想起他已经去世了
阿敖，收手吧，外面全是葉問。。。陈導真是反派疯批的親爹，前有阿祖阿偉，現有阿敖，瘋批愛好者的狂歡。
真的不是只有黑和白，你们这些人说一套做一套。
陈木胜导演的谢幕，很精彩。这部遗作，将是他的又一部代表作。
只能说太惨了。他们，警察，路人。
從《龍虎門》到“龍虎鬥”。他倒在圣母怀中自我了结；而他既没回应质问，也没回头。（当一个体制完全背离了人们的信任，法律不但无用武之地，反而成为枷锁，让坏人为所欲为。——《黑暗骑士崛起》）
阿敖一招一式稳准狠，智商在线又没掉过链子，连随手扔手榴弹都能扔出硬照的感觉，也真是头一次想看反派狠狠虐主角。几个有肌肉有义气的兄弟和威胁一半听见处分就退下的警方高下立判，很难不偏心。邦主的个人英雄主义应该收一收，一人独闯猪龙城寨来个房顶漫步已经够邪乎了，还来个跳车救小孩真给这儿整印度电影呢。邦那部分的剧情只有“还能这样？”来概括了。总之看完了就觉得谢霆锋帅了！
这部电影挺好看的，是香港动作片的风格，最后那场打斗观赏性很高。除此之外剧情还特别好，情节不会突兀，人物刻画也丰满。正义和邪恶的转换有时充满宿命，
这个世界不是只有黑与白，还有很多灰色地带 谢霆锋很过分，帅的很过分
故事整体还是没脱离近年来港式警匪片的“好警察变悍匪”的模板式套路，电影的优势在于贯穿全片的硬汉气质和双男主的气场，这些都和电影里满脸褶子的老面孔一样，随着香港电影的没落逐渐消亡。最后片尾字幕“永远怀念在天国的陈木胜导演”出现的时候真的比电影里任何一幕都让人破防，
好爱谢霆锋这个角色，年度最爱反派预定，觉得他杀霍xx的时候好爽👌
