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!
重要台词
实际还是真切反映自己的人生经历和感悟，本质上跟朔爷以往的创作同源，男人依然是那样的男人，女人依然是那样的女人，相似的遭遇和处世态度（今天看来有些陈腐），相似的情感与价值观念（依然有一个名导演作为反面角色），没想到的是王朔曾在此从军学医（回国的小鲁也在“401”落脚）的青岛占有如此大篇幅却无意义的比重（海尔等的生硬提及让人怀疑本片究竟经历了什么），而对宗教与科学的兴趣变换成后半段近乎巫术般的理解和呈现，也在王朔的思维和语境之内（虽然这段因胡闹的情节、莫名的剪辑与中学生QQ空间般的自白而变得异常滑稽），实际以不死完成“永失我爱”的究极崇高（将自己过去“挣了点钱让人知道了”的观念也踩在脚下），却仍无法逃避“一半海水一半火焰”的冷暖（捷克，对“有个地儿就咱们知道”的徐的留恋），拧巴却真实的自我崇拜。
可惜没把时间慢行性的设定多利用一下，这个点还是挺有意思的。
我们忧郁的和害怕的，是死亡，是被忘记，更是没有被爱过。
只有女人的放荡不羁像极了本杰明巴顿奇事，其他不是无聊就是很扯。
非常王朔了，老派、可爱，90年代的浪漫。王传君的演技并没有惊艳到我，就是普通水准吧。另外就是旁白和长镜头太多了，没啥必要的。
（大半夜看到央六今日影评，刚好在推推荐这部电影，说的我眼泪就流下来了……想看……）导演想说的很感人，电影表达出来的，是啥啊？
割裂严重，用爱情故事包装的干细胞抗衰老广告。
京味儿太浓了，时间跨度很大，王传君撑起了这个角色，痴情又闷骚。没想到我能看进去，而且是很享受的一次观影体验。笑点不少，泪点氛围烘托也是到位，喜欢这部文艺调调十足的电影
2.5 空虚没有面目的人和…两女主到底是谁的意淫
看了一个古旧的开头，就放弃了。#20220117
整个剧情神神乎乎，就是来看王传君的。这部电影评论里乌烟瘴气的，但提供了不少可拉黑的名单，算是唯一的惊喜了吧。
还是那个熟悉的王朔配方，永远回不去的久远时光，至死都想抓住，看完像经历了整场人生...
比起死人，更害怕活人。干细胞有那么神奇吗，起死回生啊，先死后长寿。
搞乐队玩摇滚卖唱女文学系渣导演，一展现北京文艺就搞这些元素，真的看厌了。后边更离谱，玛蒂尔达化身中国叛逆妹子，穿越到捷克搞科研。我爱她但是我又放不下另一个她，两全其美的办法是让她生下我和另一个她的受精卵。服了，中年男人的恶心幻想。
吐了，第一：故事推动极其赶，如此简陋的剧情用得着这么赶？故作高深…
故事是分裂的，情感是连续的，郭小鲁你本应拥有甜蜜
短短两个小时，仿佛漫长的一生。
竟然是王朔的本，王珞丹演的最好的一次！王啸坤，是你么？太抢戏了，啊哈哈～三王开泰，可是王传君有点平庸了…
第3363-四分之三剧情跟片名没关系。前面铺垫有点长，后面的奇事有点短，实验成功也没看对社会有啥贡献，男主的视觉能力兼职打乒乓球还能拿个奥运冠军。整体也就美术和服化道还凑合。
