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.
全片灌输了资本主义的缺陷：有钱能使鬼推磨。
权二代杀了富二代，找黑警帮忙，布置现场让富二代的一夜情对象一个小混混背锅。后面又连续让黑社会帮忙消除不利于自己的证据。男主是个大律师知道谁是真凶但是正常流程又无法定其罪，只好剑走偏锋伪造假文件骗富二代女的父亲吸尘器里有东西和权二代的DNA吻合，富二代父亲为女儿报仇，收买黑警作供最终将权二代定罪。小混混这是上辈子积了啥德，又搞了富二代女又有这么个正义的律师帮他，现实中普通老百姓要是得罪到有钱人有权的人，想要像电影中得到公平公正那是几乎不可能的，所以看看就好
一般，我给两星半，如果拍成二十集电视剧会不会更好些？鲍起静、曾江、廖启智的演技很好啊
凶案本身不明不白的，死者这种身份经历的女性会当公子哥的小三?或是电影背景介绍不够，一字未提正氏。是否强奸从尸检检不出来吗?其它剧情就看律师玩游戏了。
我们之所以坚持公义，是为了让我们的后代，活在保有公义的世界上！
好烂的故事。低智的悬疑部分，羸弱的法庭辩白部分，僵硬的"天降神兵"部分，尴尬的自白正义部分……莫名其妙，浪费时间。
廖启智的遗作，可惜了最终仍以钱权揭示真相的荒诞。看前一半的时候，有一种古早港片的味道，直到最后方中信聆讯时强行拔高立意的发言简直太当今太2021了。
勉勉强强勉勉强强的，能看完，中半段好一点点，前后都差两口气，整体制作，主创，演员都太淡了
政商勾结的普通故事，方大状诛心阴招让其反目。#陈家乐也老了
以为是电影版律政强人 ，还是差了一丢丢。演员阵容是唯一的看点。这样的钱权合作真是讽刺。
两星半，有点小悬疑的tvb网络大电影,只不过剧情的解密过程有些草率，方中信气质很可以啊，陈家乐很帅。
该有的元素都有了，老戏骨们的水准依旧在线，但就像这些新生代演员一样，港片也不过如此了，比照刚刚看完的《龙虎武师》，实在令人唏嘘…
算系了解咗我一個情意結，由選戰到律政強人，一直認為未完結一直自認為會有續，只是換一個平台或者故仔，可惜尼部電影系終結了，太可惜了 #2021#智叔 R.I.P 終於上映，算喇，系時代問題，respect 智叔&方中信
金钱不仅能带来黑暗，还能带来光明啊，结尾升华主题升华的很硬啊，哎，最后说一句廖老师一路走好吧
影片二星，加一星鼓励。港片的辉煌，就如同廖启智的生命一样，一去不复返了。
拍的还行，但怎么说呢，我的理解就是，想要在这滔天权势下存活，还是得有钱才行，没钱还是申冤无门啊，所以整个故事还是有问题
20220501，手机爱奇艺 挺讽刺的是片中努力追求的正义和公正是靠钱收买实现的。
我觉得很好。很现实很现实 因为没有公义 所以才要不断追求公义
这种类型的港片，应该在80年代末就有了吧，30余年未有变化；方中信、廖启智、曾江等等的作品，80年代末也进入大陆了，30余年未有变化；老戏骨的戏是好，可是剧本是30年未有变化之套路！00后的人肯定不知道港片曾经居然那么辉煌过！
三星半吧，因为故事情节基本和猜测一致！没啥难度！但是不知不觉就看完了，另外方中信也挺帅的。
