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.
潮汕人总之又爱又恨了，但没办法前者肯定溢余了。
算是了解到了不找外地人的潮汕文化，接地气。拜老爷，唱戏，很有意思。简单不做作的故事。
3.5
故事继承自传统香港武侠片框架，节奏干脆力落，一人一刀，只为公道，捉刀人的身份背后就是孤胆侠士，动作设计结合了传统香港的兵器武打和日本武士片，暴力美学上的展现毫不含糊，打斗前后动静氛围的对比很到位，美术风格和配乐也有亮点，只要是再在瞎眼设定下下再多一些打斗设计会更完整。（7.5/10）
有些镜头很妙，可以看出导演和编剧是有自己想法的人，这不是一部洗钱的电影。但是女演员的表演又让人感觉是关系塞进来的。
中小成本的武侠片，高潮戏用心发力，动作和舞台式的布景设计让人眼前一亮。上次觉得还算不错的武侠片已经是绣春刀了。
原本只是一部及格且后半段多了不少会扣分的戏码，但是中间不少宛如将我的生活搬上大银幕，以及最后收尾那场让我不知不觉笑中落泪的戏，加上片尾彩蛋以手机拍摄的伪纪录片段落令我眼眶湿润，真的加了太多太多的分了，或许最真诚的出发才是最能够打动观众们的吧
剧情比较平淡，但整体很流畅。
故事简洁，镜头语言不错。虽然不是武侠爱好者，但是很喜欢其中的画面。尤其是雪夜一人一马，世界黑白分明。
因为预期低，结果超预期，快意恩仇，爽！但特效方面过度渲染，建议应该收敛些，注重实感而往拼死往视觉系靠拢。
大城市中年女性困境——家庭不错学历很高工作优秀人品上乘仍然要被方方面面配不上自己的婆家挑剔：你各方面都能找个更好的本地人。（说实话杭州比潮汕差吗，江浙明明地图炮开得也很厉害😊 但作为民俗片看我很喜欢。最近国内的民俗片各地开花（上海代表爱情神话，台南代表俗女养成记，重庆代表作品太多了不表…）希望越来越多的这种片出来，让我们感受到中国各地丰富多彩的文化特色～骂这个片封建的大可不必了，事实如此，这本来也是传统文化的一部份特征，强行闭眼和抹杀和强行把全世界变成纽约大都市的人有什么区别？
人如其名果然‘目中无人’。看着看着，越来越像北野武的，座头市，不知道大家有没有这种感觉
这是一部两极分化特严重的影片，美术，音乐，制景，服化基本上是一流化的，摄影，武打设计在二流中等水平，而编剧，导演，演员却在三流……而且这部影片看样子在网大里投资也不算小……
下次选题材别这么老套了，多给一星支持地方电影。
借鉴痕迹比较重，剧本整体欠打磨，网大感没有很强，比近几年大部分同类型非网大影视作品都好看不少，尤其是打戏，错骨手、楼兰斩，火刀、冷箭，可圈可点。
如果说杨导还有哪里可以完善一点的话，我希望能有一些关于男主人性闪光和人情冷暖的戏，或者尝试为成乙打造一句经典台词，比如：我看不见但我的刀能。
目中无人，正义心中存；
又上当了，无趣的片子，一个人大杀四方眼都不眨（哦，人家是瞎子，确实不用眨眼）干翻几百个，画面不美音乐无感，都2202年了还给我看这种，更可笑的是多瑙评分竟然9.5，呵呵！
不错啊主角很帅，虽然也有些bug但剧情很流畅打戏也给力，场景很美很艺术
很喜欢最后一场的黑白啦……赌场段落像是座头市。可以拍成系列网大。剧情简单到爆。话说国内网大一般连一个像样的中老年配角都不安排吗，或者当个boss，不行当个受害人也算啊
