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.
刚开始的反转夫妻互杀还有点意思，后来一致对外血浆横飞了就比较中规中矩了，反而是最后的结局最好玩。
明明知道他们各怀鬼胎，还得看他们磨磨唧唧互相残杀，后半段节奏明显加快还是很爽的。
从讽刺搞笑到惊悚血腥，插入伦理调味，再回归搞笑讽刺，这个旋转舞步实在华丽……平庸的导演，失业了的过气女演员，和几个越狱逃犯演出了一场囚徒困境的好戏，小成本把“戏剧化”演绎到极致了。
无脑爽片，各种反杀。光头哥真的抗揍，这片里受委屈了，要被爆菊那段演技爆炸👍🏻光头嫂更猛👍🏻。
这是啥烂片啊，我真是轻信了评论里说各种反转……就是一路血浆脑浆迸发的普普通通的b级片。
和小人物一样刺激，前十几分钟以为是文艺片，重口味很到位
人生如戏，全靠演技。糅合进了多种元素，暴力，血腥，家庭伦理+黑色幽默。娱乐性和可看性都不错。三星半。
五星哈哈哈魔人就是我又來了真的好看死了, 本質上就是大鬧劇但是處處都動真格的血肉橫飛. 真的好愛光頭Aksel演技炸裂其他演員也都一流, 雖然有不少破綻或物理上不合情理但伏筆巧妙峰迴路轉爽歪歪, 風景也真的美耶我的天啊我怎麼開心成這樣神經病, 那顆撞球!!
非常有意思的片子！8分！什么叫做相爱相杀！这就是！老爷子虽然死在了自己心爱的吊床上，但是再多一点发挥空间就好了！夫妻两人最后发现了财富密码哈哈
明明知道他们各怀鬼胎，还得看他们磨磨唧唧互相残杀，后半段节奏明显加快还是很爽的。
还以为老爷子帅不过三秒，没想到老爷子最后还是帅的
白瞎了窗外的美景，故事乱七八糟，昏昏欲睡。
剧本编得很赞，反转一个接一个，让人看得很过瘾，明明是一部CULT猛片，但中间竟然还隐隐夹着黑色幽默，实在是赞！强烈推荐！
挪威版史密斯夫妇？？？前半场冗长又枯燥的对白，后半场全靠血浆搏眼球。所谓的「法式幽默」真是相当含蓄了。不知为什么所有人都拿枪不当回事儿，全喜欢贴身肉搏。唯一值得一看的【以下剧透】是在船上时，女主拉着快掉入湖中的男主的手，沉默了半分钟。
超硬核的cult片，各种意想不到却又意料之中的前后呼应和反转，一会儿严肃一会儿恶搞，一会儿温情一会儿讽刺。
黑色幽默的cult暴力的高效小题材，but风景真的不错。
未免太多了吧
后半段太残忍血腥了，也太假了，他们俩个普通百姓就能制服三名职业罪犯？已经被打的只差一口气了，满血复活？他爸像个2B一样就冲来了？毫无铺垫。
看了一半，感觉有点为了无厘头而无厘头，无厘头的莫名其妙。剧情一般，有时间看完再细评
黑老三脱裤子我就知道男主要糟，笑到肚子疼。
