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.
少了前作的窒息感，只能当普通得动作惊悚片看。心疼小女孩，无论亲爹还是后爹，没一个正常的。
还是延续了第一部的方式
觉得不好看，第一部的那种新鲜的紧张刺激感在这一部基本完全变成赤裸裸的血腥暴力了，剧情也失去了悬念和惊喜，看得让人基本没什么劲头也没什么期待感。这一部老头也没有上一部更具压迫感，也更不像个瞎子了。从密室搏斗转移至开放空间真的大大减少了这种惊悚电影的魅力。
亏得我还专门去看了第一部，结果看完大失所望
剧情真是各种翻转腾挪，但是真的和第一部的那种惊悚完全是两种概念。第二部完全就是一个爆米花电影，处了暴力血腥血腥完全没有任何看点，完完全全没有一丝惊艳！
比第一部的“屏气感”还是差了些，不过老兵依旧能打。
看到片名就知道结局已定 失败者触底反击的故事依旧鼓舞 （不太喜欢感情线的处理）
好家伙坏人的视角转为好人视角了~/听真好尸解说完的，别欺负老年残疾人和狗子~
这个拍法，我看第三部还不如和寂静之声3联个动，看看老爷子打怪兽这才带劲呢
如果你能接受从惊悚恐怖变成犯罪动作风格并且不带脑子观看的话，这部还是很合适的。
也许永远不会明白橄榄球的乐趣，但是看到老美玩的不亦乐乎，连篮球都得靠边站，也不由得不肃然起敬。不过这女主找得也太非主流了，年龄就不说了，库尔特怕是有恋母情结。特别喜欢他的经历，人不经历挫折哪知道珍惜，一帆风顺不叫人生。
还是那个帅气的老头，故事一般，老头不适合个人救赎，还不如直接拍成暴力黑暗系，把老头黑化！小女孩先要被亲身父母弄死，结果小女孩反杀，先砍了妈的手，后捅了爹的背，就连狗都咬背叛自己的主人。这个编剧好样的！
这一部基本上和你呼不呼吸也没什么关系了所以也不用屏住呼吸了
kurt warner的双mvp赛季是美国四大联盟最最传奇的故事，the greatest show on turf
大哥这题材还要拍3？海豹突击队很牛b？我中国战狼2走一走，眼睛看不见各种都不合理，你莫不如打脑震荡突然能看见了开始装b打起来
非常美国，全是个人，上帝，和胜利者叙事。 3星给演员和真人真事。
感情戏太多了吧。感觉更像是命运选择了他。就是那个准备好的幸运儿
7.5，相比第一部差太多，没有第一部那种让人窒息的感觉，瞎老头也变成抗日神剧主角，无所不能，不知道还以为是能红外定位，响尾蛇侠；第一部是因为惊险屏住呼吸，第二部只能是因为血腥了，往隔山有眼这类电影方向发展了，现在年纪大了看不得这种
跟第一部……看了一眼导演不是同一个，哦没事了，利用水波纹感应动静成为唯一亮点.49/100
这演员年纪也太大了点吧，与其这样索性让Kurt Warner自己来演吧。如此跌宕励志的职业生涯，被拍的非常无聊(┯_┯)
