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!
故事肯定是虎头蛇尾了毋庸置疑，但几场打戏还是大大的出乎了意料的好，其实狭小空间的肉搏是最好看也最难拍的。
一部不够你还来两部.....阿加莎的后代快来告洛哈特
几段狭小空间搏斗可能是近几年最精彩室内打斗片段。标准剧情，中上打戏
比上次的《东方快车谋杀案》好，但是也就好那么一点而已。盖尔·加朵当然漂亮，只不过原著里的琳内特年龄才21岁，于是96年的梅芙实在青春无敌，短发漂亮极了，虽然造型由于过于罗比了，但是都是大美女啊。塌了房的锤子再也爱不起来了，怎么看都不像是落魄的穷人，04电视剧版的西蒙特别帅，让人相信富家女的一见钟情富家女的下嫁。盖尔一看就是聪明脸（我没有说布朗特看上去不聪明），怎么会爱上石油大亨？
其实东北警察没那么能打。但鉴于香港警察也没那么能打不也拍的武功高强吗，所以也算合理。。。就是这个黑社会搞定了所有生意人却没搞定警察内部的人，算是没那么聪明啊。。。男主老婆真不错，这么支持警察工作的女人少有了，尤其那句“工作丢了也不怕，我养你啊”，多感人😄
太一般了，看过原版的再看这个只觉得除了画面优美以外没有任何优点。🍍像个大吵大闹的疯子，感情线更是莫名其妙。
三星半。又一套老式大製作，上半主戲前極為輝煌，查案戲肉反而相對失色。全明星陣容其實不太必要。
其实还是挺好的改编，但是zzzq让人可以轻易排除一堆嫌疑人… 百丽宫国贸
谢苗回归之路不太好走啊，不过质量是可以的。
看到国内先上映豆瓣打出的六分我还不信邪非要在日本加钱看什么IMAX，电影前的神奇动物预告比这正片好看多了。真的不会改不要改好吧，为了政治正确多元化强行加入黑人印度人和同性恋，尊重点原著好不好！原著人多就是你强行把多人捏成一个人的理由？当小学生缩写名著呢！还乱改情节，第一次看IMAX看到睡过去突然被枪声崩醒发现就连被害人都被你改了？从电视剧版看到78版到22版，一个比一个改的多，我原以为电视剧版最平凡，真的不比不知道电视剧版是多么完美
难得有贝宁阿姨的电影在电影院上，权当支持她了
6.0/10
5.最后掐了头去了尾还能看不错，期间就好无聊，搞得像舞台剧似的。
尼罗河上的狄仁杰，元芳你怎么看？除了片头和空镜其他堪比《狄仁杰》。
P.S.Gibson居然在1935年就推出了电吉它，真神奇
没看过书也半路猜到凶手，推理真的啥也没拍出来
比想象中好点 一开始我以为是"it's always the husband”结果是“romeo and juliet” 正如艾米锤的career一样已经被打死了🚬推理略弱 片头的一战戏我觉得啃泥爵非常适合拍war film
这故事设定是二战前吧，怎么还在金字塔上玩《北非谍影》的经典酒馆台词哏…不过比台词更违和的是演员们。
难得有贝宁阿姨的电影在电影院上，权当支持她了
整体的氛围造景确实可以 不愧是灰姑娘的导演!
