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.
武打设计是最大的亮点，但是和风太盛，重头戏模仿《座头市》的痕迹很明显。剧情太薄，流程程式化严重，编剧的剧情构建能力太一般，只能是网文里的中庸之作，靠谢苗和武打效果提升了一些地位！
一个西部片里赏金猎人的故事，套上了武侠的外壳，演员用谢苗找对了，几场武打戏拍得还是有点粗糙，把技能点都点在了布景和近身错骨动作上了，细节部分都是一带而过。想要复原港片武侠的硬桥硬马，还是颇有难度的。摄影技术上够硬了，剪辑风格凌厉快速，导演很聪明，利用好技术+简单讲清楚一个单线索的故事，成就了至少75分的作品。
氛围气质真的是很写意武侠了，可是故事简洁却不等于简陋，总感觉缺点什么。
故事简单，时长仅70多分钟，剧情也并非毫无破绽，但是胜在节奏紧凑不拖沓。作为一部网大，能看出成本很有限——没有大场面、全是影视城的景，但却一点也没摆烂，导演显然在摄影构图、叙事氛围上是有自己的美学思考的，更为难得的是拍出了最近几年影视剧里少有的“侠以武犯禁”的江湖气。比一众S+，也比好些院线电影都好看。
谢苗换成张晋就好了。。。【做梦呢】
故事虽弱点，但摄影、配乐、打斗都是顶级，游戏既视感
虽说故事简单，但却又不简约。目中无人，眼瞎心不瞎。一切都在线！
剧情不复杂，动作很犀利，画面非常棒，角色虽然很一般，但几位演员还算努力，谢苗的动作力量感真的好，干净利索，丝毫没有拖泥带水，想起了《师傅》的动作。我以为是烂片，但压根不是。
1. 几处场面调度处理的很牛逼，比如开场的枪杀，KTV干架；2. 侯孝贤和陈国富保证了好故事；3. 《牯岭街》里的“小马”谭至刚演完本片后两年死于车祸，不到20岁；4. 高捷复仇那段，台上唱《皇后大道东》的是罗大佑和林强，爆吊；5. 伍佰演唱的《少年吔，安啦！》超有feel。
观感的确达到院线片的水平了，但剧情过于简单了
剧情非常老套 打斗场面不够大 属于小打小闹 让人看的不过瘾。。。
一部赶工之作，主创人员全都无心恋战，焦急地想把片子拍完，所有人物形象都流于表面，异常单薄，也就部分动作设计的还行吧，其他包括表演、节奏、质感等各方面都完成的很粗糙（居然还山寨了毛利族的战舞……真的笑了），特别那个瞬间拔刀杀人一闪的五毛特技……可能是对「座头市」的拙劣模仿。
流畅，动作和剧情都够流畅，希望这是好的开始，送两颗星鼓励一下
很喜欢这种类型的侠客 一方面他因为身体（武功）的残缺厌弃自己 一方面他仍然热爱那些成就自身的事物（武功）他是正义公道 他是侠客义士 他是认清现实与永远炽热……但是他太符号化了 人物塑造方面甚至不如宇文英深刻
预告片动作挺酷的，没办法，多少要照顾观众口味和演员能力。加油年轻人们，加油投资人们。
总的来说，前半段铺垫很不错，后面除了火刀惊艳到之外，张力不够，BOSS战草草了事。
6.8.简约凌厉的武侠片。武指、美术、摄影都是可以上院线的程度，几场动作戏简洁有力，磨刀点燃酒那里简直帅炸。剧情简单直给，虽不免干瘪但胜在节奏明快、叙事简练。谢苗演技也不错，希望能拍更多高质量网大并早日进军院线。
可以拍成合集或者剧集，一集一个来小时，每集可以用不同的导演，讲一个类似这样的武侠小故事。格局打开了👐
看看这镜头，看看这画面，看看这打戏，看看这语言，看看这服道化！这，特么的就叫电影，就叫艺术。
