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!

宏观叙事抹杀个体价值的绝佳案例。相比于热评里提到的艾希曼，个人认为施图卡特这个角色更不错，独立人格、理性思辨与立场坚定的品质他都有，但信仰让他从拉斐尔变成撒旦的助手。
（真的好喜歡德國片啊）我們該如何度過這一生，大雨來臨之前，Fabian和舊世界一併下沉。會想到贖罪裡等待愛人的Cecilia。
最后炸弹终于被引爆，还是一个深水炸弹，一声闷响，扎心程度堪比《幸福的拉扎罗》。
这是一部有灵光的电影，一个荒诞的时代发生什么都不会让人惊讶，但还好还有爱情
6.0分，冗长乏味啊，叫好的回家多咀嚼几遍就离大湿不远了
文艺片也分有趣和无聊，这部是无聊。但是拍摄手法和导演技巧还是挺“唬人”和具有质感的，有自己风格。
太喜欢了，法比安是那些内心纯良但又无路可走者的缩影。
从信开始这电影节奏才开始好转，可当你准备进入电影里的时候电影却已迈向了结尾，在我看来完全可以切割掉的前半段，迷迷蒙蒙糊里糊涂，我知道这是一种状态，我知道这是一种状态就够了，我没必要再亲眼感受它一个半钟。
用七十年代的技法，讲三十年代的故事，一个人游荡的意识，旋转在已知是悲剧的历史。
任何动荡的年代都有怀才不遇的人 人生就是存在着很多的不确定 明天和意外哪个先来谁也不知道 我们现在这么小心的生活着又和那个动荡的年代有什么区别 稳定的工作带来了稳定的收入 而处处小心到处限制又怎么让我们去享受这收入呢？
他高叫把死亡奏得美妙些，死亡是来自德国的大师，他高叫你们把琴拉得更暗些，你们就像烟升向天空，你们就在云中有个坟墓躺着挺宽敞。
颓废的生活，他遇见了她。然而他失业了，朋友自杀了，她也无奈的选择了生存。还有一线希望，他们约会了，他却意外离开了。她一直都在等着他。。。

咖啡馆分手的剪接非常出色，交谈开始前，景框外伸进一只手臂给墙上的投币箱投了币，随后自动钢琴开始演奏，这个过程十分像戏剧的开场部分，演员就位，乐队奏响第一个音符。脸部特写与手部特写的交替绝妙地取代了传统的正反打镜头，女友的眼泪中不乏表演的成分，而法比安身体的大部分在镜头外，观众只能听到他冷静而理智的声音，他成了全视的旁白，揭开了隐藏在这段感情背后的内幕。当他再次入镜时，他才回到情感天秤的另一端。文本优美，时有警句，可惜与实验性的现代电影手法并不搭调。结尾更是败笔，溺水而亡太轻飘太浅显，仿佛一个不合时宜的玩笑。
梦与死，在爱人的肩膀上。生活，永远在跳跃。三个小时完全不闷，好看。（汤姆希林身上有很深邃的气质）
开头很灵。看只是因为是德国电影，不知道洛洛会不会去电影里出现的地方。
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。
用了很多特别的拍摄技巧，后半和前半对比起来显得有些普通了，结尾真是非常有余味。
一个小细节，唯一差点冒头的良心来自一个年纪比较大的官员，充满干劲的年轻人总是冲在残忍第一线，就挺真实的。
