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.
自《双子杀手》追随女主的颜过来本片，没想到女主在这里展现的是丧变的过程，从呕吐到皮肤溃烂眼球渗血，让本片有点Cult的味道，相当kuso。
动作戏有点女版伯恩的意思。如果有一部片，把凯特，John wick 伯恩，绍特，伊森亨特这些杀手特工都放一起会咋样？
现在的枪战片逻辑是不怎么考虑啦，而且主角只要耍酷就行吗？故事上没有比其他枪战片做的更好，枪战戏也没有比其他片子做的更好，那这样的枪战片我个人觉得就是拍啦个寂寞，最后还是得说一句，不管枪战片是不是要酷要飒要一个人干掉多少人，但是也得讲点故事啊！一部好的枪战片肯定是节奏感把控的强，故事不太拖泥带水的
不是玛丽姐你这个岁数了再加上生硬的身手完全不是R级的料啊，虽然Kate如你大眼睛忽闪忽闪也掩饰不了打戏僵硬的尴尬，跟喽啰甲贴身搏杀的时候不知道的还以为太极推手呢，再就是人生最后一天了干点啥不好非得把干爹弄死smoke weed再杀杀人跳跳舞不好吗？btw东方人stereotype都波及到日本了吗？
如果只看动作戏和剧情，那本片也就三星-三星半水准，多加的一星半在于，本片植根于一个鲜少有动作片会采用的颠覆性设定——主人公在数小时内必死。主角光环已残损坠灭——凯特即使拼尽全力，杀败所有外在敌人，也没法阻挡从身体内部渐次散溢的、由内在缓缓渗透并最终漫卷涌出的死亡。她的每一次大口喘息、踉跄趔趄、呕吐虚脱与疲累疼痛都如此真实可感。也正是在极度残损沉重的肉身阻遏下，凯特的勉力支撑才绝对地动人心魄，女性不再是欲望凝视的客体或机械的非人，而真正成为引人共情与融入的、悲喜交织的主体性存在。于是，表象、动作与剧情已然不是关键，唯有切近的情感、身体感知、个体生命终究难以回避的死亡才是我们自身与这部影片的核心。伴着女主角的自我觉醒与反思，影片持续地唤起我们的死亡意识，进入一种本真的生存状态。（9.0/10）
这种开头就让人猜到反派的剧情实在俗套，不过一上来就残血的设定比较少，看个霓虹，看个打架，看个女孩救女孩也还行。
坦白说吧，对Kate立刻变身一体机，妈妈姐姐老婆老公我都能不要脸地喊出口🥺😭
连着看了几部所谓大女主动作片 哎 都是工具人罢了
硬漢風格動作早就拍爛了，照搬過來讓女主演也沒比較好，我不確定，也許該做個加減法，因為就算放百合在裡面，劇情還是差。
剧情上是杀死比尔，美术摄影是疾速追杀，合格的爽片
除了结尾的动作场景有点撑不下去于是开始玩升格了以外，整部片作为硬核动作+女性主角还是颇具娱乐性。
片子就那样但mew实在太帅了，miku也好可爱
剧本则有点虎头蛇尾，悬疑的揭晓虽也合情合理，但总觉得平平无奇，几个反转也让人提不起劲，我觉得还是角色的塑造出了问题，太过单薄。
除了日式古屋那段溅血挺不错，其他都感觉浪费时间，而且那段还特别有杀死比尔的影子，小女孩挺抢眼，但说多了那些英语脏话也就无趣了好多，电影也是如此，剧情不用想也知道是这样。
整体观感还是不错的，但是注定是一部看完记不住的片子。作为一部女性动作片，剧本虽然是流水线级别的，但是动作戏不错，节奏紧凑，有日式元素，暴力血浆，大姐姐和小姐姐，色彩和音乐也不错，属于无脑爽片。爽度高开低走，最后一战的动作戏，基本全是枪战，还用上了毫无意义的慢镜头，还没有前几场动作戏强。倒是国村隼的武士刀干脆利落。柠檬炸弹的广告做的不错，一度让我以为对女主有大力水手菠菜的功效。杀手复仇阴谋的段子真的是看够了……三星半
年轻时候卖颜值，中年卖气质+身手？
大女主版John Wick，非常喜欢。日系风格结合得特别好！视觉绚烂，游戏感强。
好莱坞流行大女主，于是本片妥妥的赶上潮流，又成为新一部女权电影。
剧本平庸，女主的演技和打斗场面设计太配不上这个杀手角色了
酷！ 炫！帅哥Michiel Huisman在里面只是打酱油？
