A great Biblical Epic Story of Solomon, the son of King David.
Wonderful set pieces, makes you think you back in ancient biblical times.
Ben Cross as Solomon, and David Suchet as Joab are on point and are quite close to biblical interpretation in terms of their characters.
Suchet is a believeable Joab that wields great power and influence as the commander general of the ancient Israel army.
Max Von Sidow is okay as the ageing King David. I thought Sidow's interpretation as punishing Suchet (Joab) in the movie was a little inaccurate. It is only after King David's death that Solomon movies quickly to execute Adonijah (his half-brother) and Joab who he saw as a threat to his throne.
The film also boosts a great cast that also deliver.
