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.
老屋的困兽。杀手的暮年。加一星给疲态的老爹。
把《记忆碎片》的碎片二字去掉，就变成了阿尔兹海默症患者的“营救”系列之作…手腕记事本的剧情，不知连姆会否尴尬，反正Guy Pearce尴尬极了…
看完只有一种莫名的沧桑感，尼森和女神都老了
看完之后觉得很可惜的一部电影。故事本身算有趣，演员阵容也不错，但为什么电影剪出来了这种效果呢….那个刻板的黑大衣警官角色更是个败笔，这部电影真需要他来这么刻意推动情节吗？明明可以刻画得更深刻的人物间关系，主人公复杂的内心世界，猪狩島这座看似平和小岛下的畸形“团结”和人性汹涌…等等，就是差那么一点，直到结尾演职人员表出来的那一刻。
剧情拉胯版东方快车谋杀案？救命后半段真的太烂了，反转竟然是个这么低端的狗血三角恋……
少佐的建模还是不错的。背景和背景人物处理的太辣鸡了，绝对是预算不够引起的。另外3D+线稿的表现方式，导演你也是个人才。
浪费了好题材，故事讲的不好，就是很不爽的感觉
连叔那么老了，能不能放过他，不要让他再打了。
开局觉得够悬疑，岂料后面的剧情想吃屎了一样
连姆尼森老了能接受，但是球花老成这样有点接受不来。
就像热门短评说的，明明是一个很好的题材，但是却把故事拍得过于平淡了。
结局确实有些令人失望，全程没有推理过程，主观感受大于一切。没有最后自爆环节，想必很难结案吧。
连姆尼森、盖皮尔斯、贝鲁奇，记忆杀神中的熟面孔不少；杀手心中也有柔软：不杀小孩子；地产大亨时运不济，也算恶有恶报；警察转职做杀手前途无量……最后，justice not guranteed
猜到了～岛民团结意识，甚至到了畸形的地步。话说黑色的糖包子真的很好吃吗？
裸男后空翻简直了哈哈哈，虽然这3d质感实在过于一般我几度想弃，但后面剧情也还可以
3D的人物造型也太丑了，制造水准低到令人发指，像20年前的3D动画。人设也改得一塌糊涂，比Arise还要烂...
镜头调度还蛮有味道，只是多人站位和表演过于舞台化，剧情也是平铺直叙，没啥起伏。
无奈情节还是高开低走 有点莫名其妙 可能是文化差异吧 不太能理解他们的脑回路 但饼哥的演技依旧那么炸裂 L的颜永远戳我 说是悬疑片 看脸就完事了
看到了28分钟，实在忍受不了，节奏慢得像龟，完全不知在说啥，直接关了
杀手迟暮，要的是情怀，退休是不可能的，即使老年痴呆也得干下去。
