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.
最近几年不说没有什么亮眼的港片，连稍微看得过去的都没有。这部众星云集的电影，故事本身就很深厚，剧情饱满，讲兄弟情谊，讲道德困境，不得不做出的抉择，以及遵从的原则。仇恨铺垫，兄弟反目，冲突对立，直至分道扬镳，誓不两立。火爆要素也统统都有，打斗，枪战，拆弹，飞车追逐，爆炸，等等。也许，我认为肯定会有人说，这部电影，甄子丹作为主角，正能量太过爆棚，连说个谎都不肯，一点也不真实。可是我却有不同的看法，我觉得，我这个人，看过很多国内国外的片子，这些电影或多或少影响塑造了我部分的价值观，譬如“邦主”的这种不通人情的诚实，正直。不过仅仅是这点也不会叫我很简单的打高分，必然是剧情和过程让我得到了思考及享受满足。向陈木胜导演致敬！
打戏好看，最后的港式打戏。故事有些碎，也不太可信。谢霆锋是帅的，但模仿小丑倒也不必？为什么香港警察一黑化就变成极端分子？
一切都太悬空太漫画了。很努力，却也很疲惫。
最后圣母的雕像挂在墙上拯救世人，可是谁来救赎他这个破碎的灵魂？
人物立不起来，甄子丹的好和谢霆锋的邪一样扁平，妻子角色干脆就放弃人物侧写直接变成工具。场面很老套，教堂的彩色玻璃一出来，我在想待会不会出现风衣白鸽吧？还有警队精英因不公正待遇而黑化的关键推动是不是刚被刘德华的拆弹专家还是什么的用过？
无语凝噎，说不出话来！已经准备好二刷的票了。陈导在这部遗作里表现出了从影生涯的最高水准！游走在黑与白之间的灰色人物，一场雨夜的奇妙捉弄，两个走上不同的兄弟，一切充满了港式江湖的味道。反派虽然下手狠辣，目无法纪人性，却是被真正手段肮脏的上级逼得走投无路，是在一朵在罪恶和血腥中绽放的绝美花朵，依然是义薄云天，值得敬佩的。印象最深的三场戏：法庭对峙，南亚贫民窟小巷追逐和下水道戏，光影斑驳的教堂里的搏斗。最后身上布满红外线狙击枪的粉红光点，灰尘浮动下朦胧的圣光打在邱刚敖的身上，那一刻宛如一尊怀抱基督的玛利亚，在痛苦和罪孽中走向皈依。陈导的激烈火药味中饱含着对这个黑白颠倒的世界的愤怒，还有那绽放于血海中的恶之花的迷人炫目绝美。（小声：陈导对小谢肯定是真爱，拍得太太太绝美了！）
期待谢霆锋///锋哥真的没让我失望。没想到以前活着viva时代没有被圈粉，现在居然被谢霆锋的演技圈粉了……
8.2分；世间黑白模糊难澄怒火，人心善恶摇摆终定正义。结构和节奏跟黑暗骑士高度同步，而且打戏质量更高，枪战追车拳脚械面面俱到；HK特警跑得真慢，不过按照超级英雄片来看就很好理解了；阿敖同时有着小丑和哈维的气质，谢霆锋演得也好，造型气质都拿捏了，病态狠辣痴迷，该报的仇竟然也都报了；本片并非着眼于某一核心案件，更多是牵出反派心路历程，节奏也很紧，可以说是很成功，美中不足是前半段倒叙比较碎对手戏铺垫比较少应该多捋一捋；最后的质问充满了命运的嘲弄，可惜最后只是抛硬币，没有点出为什么这组人最终落得如此境地，以阿邦的持正不会走同样的路，但一点偏执何以挤压滋生：对HK社会和环境的矛头还是少了点题，比起拆弹2浅了一分弱了一分；本片饱和度偏高，但最开始的红光很有冲击力，而且最后教堂那场戏，打光布景和动作都太美了
很多私人感情在，虽不如冲锋隊，那真是巅峰，但这也很好……而且很多豆友前辈已把我想说不敢说的都说了……
阿敖，收手吧，外面全是葉問。。。陈導真是反派疯批的親爹，前有阿祖阿偉，現有阿敖，瘋批愛好者的狂歡。
陈木胜持续了他应有的水平，这部动作片的动作戏还都挺不错的(除了救小孩那场戏超假)，反派也一如既往让人印象深刻，暴力画面毫不含糊，希望未成年人不要观看本片。缺点也是有的，故事并不是特别有趣，台词有些做作，而且以《杀破狼》和《导火线》为模板的话，最后一场打戏其实拍得并不过瘾。但可以肯定的是，谢霆锋是真的帅，演反派更是巨帅！
从人变成鬼其实是一件很简单的事。导演很有追求，他希望用影视的方式揭露一些现实，引起人的警戒和思考，而他也做到了。谢的角色从开始的令人厌恶，到事情逐渐揭开，你发现原来他也曾是阳光快乐有血有肉的人，事到如今，有他自己的边界失守，更有这社会层面的层层剥削，他的境遇开始变得让人同情，甚至某一刻你会想象他除了死是否还能有更好的结局？最后导演让那些作假的人和男主一同消失了，仿佛他借着电影也发泄了对这个世界某些不健全部分的不满，仿佛他还有一些作为义愤填膺者也需要坚守底线的感叹，还有对于是否要鱼死网破才能让这个世界看到的悲壮思考。大多数人就像甄子丹角色说的那样，不是非黑即白，他作为这个影片中留到最后的角色，是导演心中理想化的客体，是人类的超我，也是我们对这个世界秩序的期盼。愿如导演所愿，这个世间没有腐败。
影片剧情老套了点但是不重要，动作戏爽了就行了，每场打戏都很精彩，从棚户区到下水道到商场再到废弃教堂，机车vs汽车，到枪战再到肉搏，毫不拖泥带水，爽到爆炸！！！！

虽是和《拆弹专家2》一样的立意，但着重于正邪对立的巅峰肉搏，使得个体人物缺乏黑化的摇摆与对比的反差，从而让影片缺失《拆2》的魂，当然这也一部分归因于邦主这个角色没有立起来，让谢霆锋的邪魅狷狂盖了过去。不过许久不见的谢霆锋也让港片近些年的老旧元素的排列组合多了一些新鲜感，拳拳到肉的格斗真是港片不死啊！
整部电影除了工业方面的进步，太多环节呈现了一种90年代的老派。但谁能想象，今时今日的“老派”就算是一种赞美。虽然有明显的删减缺憾，但甄子丹再一次展示了真正的技术（武指），谢霆锋跨进了港片中生代的前段班，陈木胜完成了漂亮的收梢。
谢霆锋真的很帅，为什么他不能胜利。很港片，还是要看粤语的。
熟悉的港片味道。剧情确实还是有点俗了，但是拍出来的整体效果很好。追车戏惊险刺激，甄子丹勇闯贼窟的场景像是《追龙》，最后教堂的决斗戏像是《杀破狼》，残忍、极致凶狠，却又让人看得血脉喷张。街头枪战戏有点混乱了，最经典的画面就是谢霆锋扔手雷，有点《小丑》的风范，帅酷邪魅的很。所谓的“怒火”应该是有两种意思，一种是谢霆锋一伙前任警察被冤进牢里的心中怒火，一种是甄子丹认为的自己坚持的法律正义。一个词，两个字，说一句“没有”就可以让5个警察回归正常生活，可是他却选择了说“有”，是坚持做自己，是无奈，但也是做人不够圆滑。最后他自己也承认了，这个世界并不是非黑即白，也有很多灰色地带。为了一个穷凶极恶本就该死的贼，害了自己5个兄弟，后来又引发一系列报复事件死伤更多人，所谓的“黑白正义”真的值得吗？
前警察复仇上司+富商，警察全力追捕前警察。
旧商城恶党枪械格斗，茶果岭贫民窟棚顶打到坑渠外籍古惑仔围攻（有点学习菲律宾的《Buybust》？），公路摩托小车拳脚肉搏，巷战机枪丢雷打边炉，教堂蝴蝶刀警棍巨锤钢筋双雄对决……什么黑色白色灰色的纠结文戏还是太尬，没胆像《拆弹专家2》那么直白隐喻，二十多年前《冲锋队》那种市井味怕也很难回去了；但甄子丹动作设计真心不错，还能再打几年呢？
