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!
“她喜欢他，但他不是她想要的人。相反的情况也会发生。被一个人吸引，却不想一起生活。”“那就没有方方面面都合适的人吗？”“不要期待太高。”//“我们把爱当作商品，但我们也希望商品能爱上我们。”//“你总会找到阻挡女人前进的男人，而她为了绕开他不得不与他纠缠，你会习惯的。”//“我以为我们是一派的，我以为我们之间没有嫌隙。”“两个人无法成为一派。”
人要努力活在自己的世界里，尽管受社会影响，所得到的与理想差距较远，但也要比随大流好多了。随大流不仅庸俗无聊，而且极其危险。活在自己的世界里需要勇气，要能抵御得住诱惑，更要有相当的生存能力，"要学会游泳″。
复古的画幅和色彩感，搭配了极具现代感的拍摄和剪辑方式，确实让曾经与现在的边界模糊。我在想，法比安的文学与社会批评素养，与他愿意冒险不顾自身安危的善良。也许最后的死，是给予他不去经历以后几年黑暗时期，最终落得更悲惨结局的无奈。
浪费3小时的时光，就为了看一个自诩为道德品质自命不凡，却又在社会上卑微如蝼蚁的普通人走向无力的毁灭。
4/5 | 对一个正常社会而言，平庸之恶的出现当然百害而无一利。但对归附于不道德体制的个体而言，ta总能凭借体制赋予自身的他者化冷漠，形成某种程度的自圆其说，而解除个人在道德层面的反思。万湖会议某种意义上就是平庸之恶的集中反映和体现。

从数学上来说，这是一次零和交易，两个人拥有的金额与之前相同，但善意不会因此抵销，
讨厌这个“在希望中意外死亡”的烂结局，做作。
现代主义小说的图像呈现，碎片式剪辑，散乱无中心的叙事，癫狂的人物，糜烂而荒诞的生活。不该活的人依旧活着，本应活着的人悲惨死去，这是对魏玛末世的讽刺与悼念，讽刺德国即将到来的末日，悼念那时尚存理想的青年。
学会游泳
分了几天才看完，前一个小时确实不明所以，一度想弃剧，这片有点像扎卡，喜欢的人喜欢，讨厌的人巨讨厌。“不管怎样，生活是最好的工作”
不敢想宏大抱负，甚至过不好渺小一生，观众知道为什么，所以无法责备荒唐度日的年轻人。剪辑和配乐节奏恰好呼应了混乱年代的色彩，遗憾对魏玛共和国历史了解得还不够，不然会更有代入感。
法比安溺水身亡。水面飘荡着蚂蚁和烟头。旁边有人在拍婚纱照。这be美学！
历史从地底爬向地上 记忆不再是属于法比安一个人了 前半个小时太惊喜了 以至于有种在看小林宣彦的电影 但灵感到某处便戛然而止 而后的两小时都太平淡了 可惜并没有恰到好处的用历史回溯爱情 死亡
从万湖会议，以商讨着欧洲新秩序，加上帝国版图，渐渐深入的讨论，屠戮犹太人，针对，混血犹太人，从二分之一德意志犹太混血，到四分之一混血，最后还是为了维护，除掉那么大批次犹太人的德国人精神健康，全然不顾，正义人伦，民族果然有壁垒，也永不可能平等，不过伴随着，东进苏联的败北，惨重的上演了，悲剧的柏林沦陷，战争的代价，两百万柏林女人沦为战利品，而后十年德国经济复苏，牺牲了十多年的生育工具，多么惨痛，日本人可能不会拍出来，也只有德国在反思。场面调度上，很平静的叙事，少有《十二怒汉》等，漂亮的叙事语言。
因为清醒 所以绝望 所以无所适从 所以格格不入
视觉风格强烈影音呈现出彩，加上Tom schilling本人自带的忧郁气质和影片基调相辅相成。最大的缺点就是太长，分为几天看完，明白导演对于这部电影在叙事和摄影上想追求一些特立独行的个人概念，纪录片的纪实性和文艺片的荒诞感杂糅，本来只想打三颗星，看完结尾加一颗。最后男女之间爱情相互纠缠与守望的撕裂也确实很动人。Ps：活着是无力的，唯有死亡可以力挽狂澜。
我做过很多事情，唯一没有做的，就是自杀，但我还有时间。
浪费3小时的时光，就为了看一个自诩为道德品质自命不凡，却又在社会上卑微如蝼蚁的普通人走向无力的毁灭。
没有半点血腥
