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.
我就纳闷怎么能让我睡成这样？？3天才看完，两分钟必睡。比塔可夫斯基还牛。
本片最主要的暗线竟然是伊恩·弗莱明。他的确在1943年前后供职海军情报处，曾指挥过一个三十人的谍报小组，这个小组也曾在西西里岛活动，但我遍寻网络也没找到他曾参与肉馅计划的史实，不知道为啥导演要扯上这位神仙，还不止一次的用台词暗示他是那个写小说的人。
台词绵密，观景体验对国人未必友好，但还是值得一看的战争佳作。
双女主动作片！打斗很流畅，同居戏温馨可爱，我一个大女人看得很开心
轻松诙谐的爽剧 穿着校服 骑着脚踏车 拿着机关枪当杀手 也太酷了
战争虚虚实实，情感真挚动人，不过太过于工整模式化了。
感觉这班英国佬挺蠢的，瞎猫碰上个死老鼠，原来就靠这个打赢战役？？？！电影本身前面铺垫的海量感情戏有点莫名其妙，综合来说，真的给个差评！
3。黑色幽默。就是某些段落有脱节，无论摄影还是画面风格。动作设计很香港
简单来说就是漫天过海的背后，基本上就是文戏，再带点感情，没什么出彩的地方。
其实还蛮喜欢这种真实的故事，一个事情细密严谨地铺陈开来，然后在最关键的时候用直觉决定。感情戏真的很让人无语，其实几个人闷头搞事业也挺好看的，英国人的尿性…
优秀的作战骗局往往能够让一场胜仗减少不必要的损失，情报战是保证提前布置攻坚战能够精准有效的关键，在打心理战的同时在瞬息万变的局势里能够随机应变，时时掌握主动权。在电影中的这场情报战中故意泄露的飞行员信息经过精心的编织，人设侧写上反复考量，情书和信件字斟句酌，做到了事无巨细。但在突发情况出现打乱原计划时，还要逢山开路遇水搭桥，既要平稳将情报送至希特勒的书桌上，还不能让德方因为情报的唾手可得而起疑，过程惊险曲折也充斥着巧合，纳粹军方也在暗中推波助澜，众方势力都在翘首期盼二战的提前结束，最终在波澜壮阔的二战史上书写了尽显情报战智慧的闪耀篇章。
看了这片会有一种“哎，原来视杀人为司空见惯的工作的杀手日常原来是这样的啊”的感觉，开头两女主在那个被绑在椅子上的男人面前非常自然地讨论打工和代班之类的事情，真的很有生活感。
本片让我想到了一句话——没有硝烟的战争。战争中这种幕后的信息战、间谍战举不胜举，本片选材的特色是欺敌计划，和中国古代的“三十六计”太像了，正所谓兵不厌诈，通过信息战的手段以最少的伤亡达到取胜的目的。
豆瓣的品味现在越来越低俗了，总是给那些直白且无聊的电影高分。
要是沒有Colin我也沒法堅持看完的，整個行動的戲劇性沒有塑造得很強，最後的高潮也僅僅是交代戰果，平鋪直敘了全片。
感情线真的真的大可不必……看到最后那句，查尔斯在军情五处干到52年，突然明白为什么让MATTHEW MACFADYEN来演了！简直就是梦幻联动！！！
战争虚虚实实，情感真挚动人，不过太过于工整模式化了。
又是忽悠希特勒，又是肃清内敌，还有谈个恋爱，故事不咸不淡
英国竟然也有批皮谍战的爱情片，而且还批得当不当正不正且主旋律..... 不过英国人还是敢梦，直接梦俩达西抢一个女的....
一眼就能预见结局，没太大波澜也没太多期待。人物关系略复杂，没太搞懂。
