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.
特别老套的美国电影，基本上没有亮点。两星。
有个问题：本片为什么叫《承包商》，直接叫《喋血雇佣兵》或者《退伍老兵复仇记》不更直白吗？
最后的枪战中，福斯特在空旷的灯光下手枪对长枪，还换弹夹，简直就是白送啊，这战术素养难怪被派派救了两三次。
芯片植入跟升级一个套路，杂糅进去的桥段太多，看着热闹，没有爽感！
氛围起来了，但人物，剧情都飞了，不知所云。去安全屋肯定找死？坐飞机能不被发现？最后复仇更是不知所云？
风格想模仿碟影重重那种冷峻的特工电影类型，可还是差了些… 杰克鲍尔客串反派，真的好了很多，被军队抛弃的男主做了承包商执行特工任务其实自己就是弃子做的也是不光彩的暗杀，街头枪战还是拍的不错的，败笔是没有展现特工的作战战术和技巧，经费少也不能这样啊… 拿手枪跟屋子里拿狙击枪的干？你这是在干啥呢…
那个海军陆战队大兵，临死前还握着家人的照片。那个牛排做得不怎么好的老哥，为了家人的安全，十几年不能回家。
总感觉充斥着美帝主义高高在上的感觉，你紧跟时事，抨击现实，都能理解，为国奉献的老兵，落得一身病，你让人家退役，保险退休金全剥离，可，为了生活，美国人没有储蓄习惯确实是个问题，不能因为失去工作，马上生活就陷入这种困顿，也能理解你是为了铺垫，人去找出路，私人武装，雇佣兵原来在美国这么能放到台面上说，其实感觉各种方式都有利弊，第一次任务，就是充斥着背叛，一番磨难，回到美国，几句话让兄弟为我卖命，你杀了上级，但是你单打独斗咋玩儿的过搞平台的，你在德国杀的人，不讲你美国人，你杀的科学家、你杀的警察，每个人背后都是一个家庭，都不讲，就讲男主回归家庭，不知道是篇幅不够，还是彻底的蔑视。
这部电影还行吧，就是感觉有点那么老套，而且特效有些还比较明显，不过总体来说还是不错的。
啊？合着搞这么大阴毛就是boss自己的组织？各种逻辑不通，除了派恩还有看头。。。各种蜜汁闪回。。。唉，好了好了，我知道你们美帝退役特种兵都不容易，不如来天朝当个UP主？
让特工杰克鲍威尔来扮演出卖参加黑色行动的“爱国者”的幕后黑手，这份用心真让人感动……
好无聊的剧情，明明都是我喜欢的元素，拍出来却像是随意拼凑的
为国杀人这种都是上位者为掩盖自己利益想出来的借口，却用此洗脑了无数军人。前半个小时铺垫太长了，导致后面枪战戏提不上劲来。
除了营造情绪，故事情节全部被模糊化，动作场面仅限预告片。
卡司可以的，战术细节也算有模有样，就是这剧情就真的是又老套又敷衍了。。
印度反恐神剧。科学家妹子那么萌不考虑换个屏保吗？
克里斯和反恐局长都透出浓浓的憔悴感，还是年纪大了？
Chris Pine在这片子里真的显得又老又惨，不知道是因为自己没保养好还是因为角色造型太成功。不过从所有那些硬核的军事化的动作戏和打斗戏中看得出来他演这部片子一定吃了不少苦，加上他片子里卖肉很大方，可以多加一星。
着实还是中年危机惹的祸呀...剧情台词挺考究，整个格局比较沉重压抑，也预示着前方的路充满阴霾，不同于推翻阴谋的孤胆英雄，这确实是个沉重心塞的故事。派恩这眼神越来越像本尼西奥德尔托罗了
卡司可以的，战术细节也算有模有样，就是这剧情就真的是又老套又敷衍了。。
