Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.
The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!
人是彩云易散琉璃脆，片是皮毛浮流水。
怀念Anita。
而纪录片里的梅姐的干瘦、说再见时那一声霸气硬气，一下子把这个女人拉近，高下立现。
By the way, I do think I’m a soul mate. But I know that Joseph is too. （我心融化）
还是没忍住。说不清观众的感情色彩、集体记忆与人物真实魅力“先行”了多少，影片本身作为传记片在素材的选取、编排和演绎上又努力做到了多少，但观感已经比预期好很多。王丹妮的表演足以令人惊喜，形与神都具备了。后半段穿插各种真实影像，情绪感染力翻倍，但实际上更像是导演的不自信。梅艳芳的形象和生平，与香港的起落变迁相互交织。是关于巨星陨落的唏嘘，也是一次对黄金时代的回望、感慨及对当下的反思。当中能说的，都尽量带着诚意与善意呈现了；不能说的，只能交给观众自行了解。
先天缺失+后天乏力，内容上极为保险，拍法上更是无趣。我不明白此时此刻推出《梅艳芳》的动机是什么，创作者应该很清楚，要在现有的环境下呈现梅艳芳的完整人生，最佳的形式是纪录片。
颠倒众生，吹灰不费，收你做我的迷。只有阿梅能做到，所以，她值得被所有人记得，这也会是这部电影带来的温暖、感动与影响。
这种让歌迷影迷难以代入的致敬和缅怀，还不如彻底杜撰赤裸裸地圈钱，王丹妮是十足的靓女，但是从台风到嗓音到长相和梅姑大概只有一两成相似吧，哥哥的演员更是毫不相干
传记片还是很有吸引力的一个类型，但不知道是不是拍真人真事会各种麻烦，所以国内传记片比较少。这部《梅艳芳》基本还是面向大众，而非资深乐迷，面面俱到讲了她的一生，亲情、爱情、友情、走红、低谷、音乐、电影、慈善、抗癌，有点流水账，如果是好莱坞冲奥片可能就只拍告别演唱会倒计时穿插闪回之类的。当然了，这也不是冲奥片，有这样一部周全的商业片来纪念梅艳芳、纪念曾经的香港，还是有意义的吧。因为梅艳芳的时代离现在观众还比较近，所以还是可以很好地代入，对真实人物的情感能够弥补影片叙事上的平庸。关于选角，既然主创都下这么大力气找到王丹妮，特训了半年，为什么不也多花点工夫找个更神似的张国荣？既然不用特型演员或特效化妆，做不到形似，那至少也得抓点神韵吧，梅艳芳还是有点神似的。王丹妮脸像身型不像，应该尽量少给全身镜头。
传记片，拍得好或差，观众都会感怀原型；拍得差，观众只会感怀原型。
说明星谈恋爱会影响事业，就像说早恋会影响学业一样，是一种无稽之谈。
电影票24，你要是卖过30+，我保证，路演提问我绝对踩场往政治问题上问。流水账不说，整部戏最感动是张国荣自杀那段，但跟这部电影有什么关系？
嫁俾舞台。★★★/6.8
当发现是97年帅弟弟自编自导自演，我直接变身悲伤蛙
有点好哭，我真的很喜欢那个站在台上不停发光的梅艳芳，她说不能缺席演唱会，她说我要做的事情一定会做...作品只是人生的一部分，梅艳芳为人处世的态度，对待自己作品的珍惜，让她真正地嫁给了舞台，致敬一代巨星！
可爱清新的小男人电影，but not my type
3.短短一个多月内竟在中国大银幕上见到中岛步三次，他真的很努力在成为日本渣男专业户。
虽然有各种的瑕疵，但歌声一起就值得4星了。
就好像在一个陌生的城市漫无目的横冲直撞 当找到心中指示牌的那条街道 慢慢探索直到越来越接近终点的时候 冲过去那一刻发现对面是一堵墙 它不高但也翻不过去 那一瞬间是失落是惆怅 直到终于鼓起勇气转过头 突然发现陌生的城市 除了那条路原来还有好多好多被忽视的大喇叭 红绿灯 斑马线和另一块指示牌 好多选择但也好复杂 好多也并不属于自己
王丹妮的表演是及格的，很多造型和神态都很像梅姐，尤其是最后穿婚纱的部分，演唱部分也不错。但是她身高实在是和阿梅差别太大了，又总是穿高跟，日本酒店的大门都快装不下了......并且可能是因为演员本身比较年轻，没有演出梅姐稍年长时的状态，稍年长时的表情和语气和刚出道时基本没有差别，让人有些出戏。
