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.
借了个丧尸背景的壳，讲了个工整老套却又有点温暖的故事，弥桑黛真是越来越好看了！
难得见到把人物小传另外拍成一部电影的操作。
（另外那男的也太像休叔了…）
比活死人军团完成度要高 爽片这样逻辑简单的类型片扎导都拍不明白 也许他只适合在已有扎实故事的基础上翻拍吧
虽然中二，但两位女主角真是太可爱啦！！！
两分，不能再多了，故事节奏太拖沓，男二完全靠着一张像狼叔的脸全程耍帅，关键耍的还挺生硬……最后结局也生硬至极，打的啥不贴切的比方，像是高考作文没时间结尾了性凑出来一般……
开锁破解的过程略微“顺利”，更多的惊险是来自开锁破解以外的。故事一开头一个初试牛刀的人就直接拿了一个莫名其妙的地下开锁比赛的冠军，从无名到大神也有点太跳跃了，可以铺垫更多一点点。然后最后也要照顾一下那么义气的黑客女同伙，不要用完这个角色就立刻不理不问。
僵尸一点存在的意义都没有。高智商不需要太多的动作，期待下集诸神的黄昏怎么破。
超好看，看来日本也能拍动作片的，和这部比起来栗子的角色导演像幼儿园出来的。
离谱他妈给离谱开门 离谱到家了 这句送给匆匆的结尾
除了欧洲的街区和风景，女主是那个谁，男主有点好看外。剧情什么鬼啦。（做饭打扫卫生间隙看完了。
感觉比正传好看，人物的细节刻画，情感都通过各种剧情的链接变得丰满，另外太女主好看了
什么鬼，闹着玩一样剧情，动作设计又比较讲究
5.0 和《活死人军团》一样的节奏问题，但作为一个新导演来说，导成和扎导平分秋色，我已经不知道该说什么好了。
像拍给中二期青少年看的，无比做作、尴尬、浮在表面。
人物情感铺垫少，因此显得有些感情升温得很突兀。丧尸只作为背景出现在新闻里，略微有些不过瘾。
篇幅极小的动作戏，有点意思的配乐，幸亏还有点能看的，不然就睡着了。剧情有多低级，无需多说。
但是女主的开锁动机是什么呢？我还以为她是锁创作者的女儿呢。
说是《活死人军团》前传，其实就是把单个角色拉出来，把人物小传给扩充为一个完整故事。好在德国小哥的形象足够迎合如今市场的主流口味，俨然一副神偷版懵逼死侍的模样。同时围绕三个保险箱任务，故事条理比较前作也更加清晰，关键几个人物之间的关系复杂又有序，主次也很清晰，完成度自然就更好。不过作为网飞出品的快销爆米花片，也有很多粗糙的地方。比如把保险箱吹的神乎其神，但真到行动却严重缺乏设计感和想象力。另外，限于《活死人军团》的已知设定，本片中出现很多类似丧尸等段落，实际在本片中没有任何作用，拖沓叙事效率，影响影片质感。但导演完全卡着类型化的戏剧结构按部就班作戏，不说多出彩，但肯定比扎导的为所欲为要来得舒适许多。
这个电影唯一的优点就是比活死人军团能看一点，也就仅仅是一点，和活死人军团相比不变的是剧本依旧是像是ai自动文章生成器写出来的一样弱智，人物对话还是蠢到不行，两部作品都是纯浪费人时间的烂片，活死人这个IP还是赶紧毁灭吧
