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.

说话是门艺术。只有一个房间布景戏，话剧式的感受，主角魅力值max。不是裁缝，是剪裁师，凭一把剪刀走南闯北，参加过一战的男人，怎么可能简单。
3.5
或许电影有很多瑕疵，最大的问题是，如此多的精妙设定，如果说没看过剧本，我是不信的，感叹老裁缝的智力超群，最后的反转着实让我大吃一惊，原来如此啊，怪不得前面一直在扮猪吃老虎，你才是BOSS中的大BOSS，我觉得给4星就是因为我被说服了！牛逼
精彩！密闭空间内的心理大战，马克李朗斯特太神了。唯一不足就是女助理出现有点说不通，Fran拿枪指着大佬看不出来破绽？
勾心斗角，尔虞我诈，螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后。老头不简单，一手布局很不错，我还以为老头以前是间谍。这个风格神似盖里奇。
人生如戏，戏如人生。北野武这小老头真有两把刷子

好看。100分钟左右的电影但内容丰满极了 数次反转所隐藏的信息若隐若现实在是高 那个女接待员 那把剪刀 那些纹身，到底是大火还是蓝色牛仔裤 在炉火纯青的电影节奏中都讲得让人觉得津津有味！宛如裁剪一套西服 不到最后一刻你都不知道成品会怎样 但一针一线 哪里转角哪里笔直却一切了然于心 这份游刃有余就像这个英国佬一样！马克里朗斯一战封神 超神那种神。
看得好感动，哭得眼泪哗啦。一开篇北野武唱起《浅草小子》，我眼泪就藏不住啦。铃木保奈美还是那么美，可是年轻时多么放荡不羁，如今也是典型日本女性温良谦恭的模样。
普通影迷对于所谓「烧脑反转剧」最大的误区在于，错误将编导刻意的「上帝视角」作为主人公超人智商与设定的基础，「无巧不成书」在通俗剧本中已经造作得无以复加了。
有三次感动，第一次感动是开头听到他自己的《浅草小子》，第二次感动是把高跟鞋拿给师傅穿，第三次感动是师傅给每家剧院老板送酒。北野武的面部抽搐不是一直就有。他的故事，他的人生，他的经历远比此部电影更为有趣且精彩。最近有感许多书或电影远无当事人的生活精彩，当事人生活远比自己写的故事更"进步"。这部电影就是一部小小的引子，是对于不了解北野武且喜欢网飞电影的人的介绍与礼物。对他有兴趣或者听过他的大名（本该因为谦虚打给"大名"打上引号，但今天是生日哟）好奇的，能看到此篇短评的人不妨去看看北野武的电影或者书喔。（wink）

一个精彩绝伦的计划一出自导自演的戏，把所有人都蒙在鼓里，一个人沉默的欣赏着也在表演着。
马克里朗斯演了个洗脑嘴炮大王。裁缝店的英国古典绅士风格还不错，前半比较好看，剧情有点硬。
看马克里朗斯用精湛的表演把匪帮玩弄于股掌之中特别特别爽。
本来以为会是一部另类黑帮片，结果却是一部悬疑、“反转”片，于是乎整个影片选择的制作方针也就很容易理解了，情节至上，至于其他的什么都没那么用心了。
看过北野武自传《无聊的人生，我死也不要》后就会知道，他年轻时在浅草的生活可比这部电影里要燥多了哈哈哈。
