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!
尼古拉斯凯奇的电影总感觉不看后悔，看了更后悔，但我依然一如既往的爱着他，期盼着他能崛起。
是枝裕和重复自己《小偷家族》里同样的命题——拼凑起的家庭是否也有真挚的感情，残破的角落里是否也能开出绚丽的花朵。其实每个人都是互相对应，充斥着难以言说的经历，生活底层的他们在人性的边缘徘徊，追踪的警察在人性与职责之间挣扎；男二在与抛弃孩子的女主的经历中，与抛弃自己的母亲和解；而女主在罪恶感与责任感之间渴望给孩子一个最好的家。“谢谢你来到这世上”也许是最温存的祝福。好的地方是一如既往的，其实并没有水土不服，只是在重复自己，以致于看之前就猜到大致剧情走向了。
爱惨了这种故事。元叙事、元电影再加元人物的迷影狂欢。各种玩梗，凯奇真是要笑死我。
这次可以看作是是枝裕和在海外的水土不服。
人间有大爱，仿佛看了一出知音故事会，不过对照《无人知晓》，应该是作者有意要爱满人间吧。
这一次的掮客家族，并不让人动容。也许，一切只是为了让所有人都有个和解的出口
凯奇的这部演自己的电影跟尚格云顿演自己的《尚格云顿》可是说正好截然相反。不谈论套路化的部分设置，老尚在整部电影里面都是颓废落寞带着比利时特有的忧郁，在电影不断的进行中消解作为动作片巨星的人设，自我嘲讽，用臆想与现实的强烈对比反差来突出自己只是个凡人。而凯奇这个同样落寞的自己，电影里突出的是他对电影的热爱对演员职业的热情，哈维这个角色就强烈的催化剂，让凯奇内心的激情喷涌而出。凯奇与哈维飙戏跳崖的疯狂宛如赫尔佐格排《陆上行舟》般，这种激情是电影人保证自己职业长久发展的良药，这部电影可以说宣告了凯奇依旧拥有着再造自己演员生涯的野心，未来凯奇一定会重新贡献出优秀的电影。
还挺喜欢两个人的情感关系的，但是格调一开始起那么高，最后又变成好莱坞式的意淫也挺没意思。
算是小偷家族姊妹篇，一个骗子家族的故事，都是边缘人凑成的临时家庭，都在人性的善与恶之间摇摆，但基本是全方位的倒退，整个特别拧巴，也更俗套，把拐卖儿童美化成这样，让人完全无法接受。饼叔靠着近几年最不起眼的一次表演拿下了人生最重要的一个奖，估计自己都觉得懵。
掮客之于是枝裕和，等于奇迹笨小孩之于文牧野。是自我重复，是框架作文，是工业化产品的气味。没有了无人知晓、海街日记、如父如子、比海更深中静水流深的尖锐力量。
这是什么童话我的天…一边赞叹剧本写作character study叙事效率 一边哭到断气 摩天轮和thanks for being born是double kill吧 和陈凭轩走出Bazin一路哭到马路边 谢谢是枝裕和
我不管打低分的人，反正是打动了我，我自己也是到了结婚生子的年龄，但是我没有自信我能做个好爸爸，我有我的苦衷，所以我不结婚生子，这是我对世界最大的责任感，这剧本写得好，演员也演得好
第3603-关了灯，IU躺下，觉得该放大招了，说出那几个谢谢后，我心里就像听到后胡乱挠头要睡觉的宋康昊，有那么一丝感动，却没达到期待，还有点抗拒进入情绪，索性就稀里糊涂过去了。
剧本细节亮点依旧很足，至少看完后有不少场面留下深刻印象，比如摩天轮上流泪遮眼，太巧妙了，既暖心化解人物情绪，也是对演技的抬升，动车进隧道那段也是，是枝裕和对演员也太温柔了吧，技法都用来保护演员了。
好平庸的爆米花片。我对我家仓鼠的感情都比IU对她亲儿子感情深😅
很好 尼古拉斯凯奇很好 节奏和剧情很好 可以在影院看电影很好 看场喜剧从头哭到尾不知道是太久没来影院还是疫苗后遗症 成为superstar和拥有eternal love在现实里都好难哦
IU怎么说呢？感觉出努力了，也不能说都演的不好。但是她其实还是没明白，好演员入门的第一个要素是，进入镜头前忘记自己在拍戏…… 要不然偶尔就有一种她的脑海里知道，【我在演戏】的感觉。
就像我不喜欢小偷家族一样，也不喜欢这部电影，虽然看完也没有看出是是枝裕和。前半段，其实只是开头，以为是一部无比黑暗的电影，妓女，非婚生子，杀人，贩卖弃婴，地下黑市等等。可交代完这些，所有人都变成了好人，无缘无故的，最坏的人变成了警察，再后来，连警察也良心发现。在是枝裕和的世界里，没有坏人的。关于父母与子女究竟是谁应该感谢谁这个问题，其实不应该这样问，因为，任何一方都不应该奢望被感谢，关于养育和赡养，只是等价交换，这种形式只有儒家思想的国家还在遵循，很多国家从来不认为这是对等关系，父母养到18岁，离开了爱回来不回来，养老全靠自己。所以这18年的共处，是快乐还是折磨，决定了是感谢还是憎恨。
凯奇翻身之作，但是又没完全翻过来，凯奇还是那个凯奇，观众却已经不是当初那批观众了。
不觉得是枝裕和这片垮了。温情和善良，无论何时、拍了多少次，都不应该过时。尤其真实世界，比电影里更冰冷、肮脏的时候。
