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!
故事很简单。但女主演技太好了。看到最后情感共鸣催人泪下。
桑德拉·布洛克的演技，从一声“its u？”就可以穿透人心，面对世界始终冷厉，面对误解保持沉默，都融化在了这一声的无尽温柔中。凝练的故事，内敛的情绪，该说的没说的想说的都在这儿了。
基调隐忍沉重，结合季默大师配乐，亦姐亦母的救赎之路，桑德拉布洛克的表演很传神。
沉稳又克制的表演 打碎了牙往肚子里咽 在最后还原真相的时候差点就哭出来。
剧情稍显狗血，可是表演到位，情绪表达人物关系都立得住
这个故事处理出悬疑感可能也是一种无奈之举，但被遮蔽了的是那种隐藏其中的深刻冲突，觉得有点遗憾。Sandra Bullock可以准备等着提名了
博同情故事，秀情感大戏，女主整容后时代来临，有点变形的假面看起来肥肠难受
真是造业，看着人心梗。生活还要继续，继续哪儿有这么容易呢。
一般吧，剧情挺平庸的，略商业，布洛克的演技挽回了一点
没有反转前的剧情其实就挺好的，这已经是我今年看过的第三部讲述出狱人员重返社会的故事了（前两部分别是浊水漂流和美好的世界），从表演的角度说，桑婆可以碾压吴镇宇，略差于役所广司，整个片子的氛围比另外两部都要沉重和压抑一些，女主的处境更加孤立无援，而快到结尾处出现的反转，以及反转之后的情节可以说充满了抓马，编剧试图用反转来加深女主的悲剧性，但这个反转实在太欠缺说服力了。PS：这片里面的角色领悟能力都这么强的吗，通过一个眼神一句话就能get到重点。
9分 2021.12.19 桑德拉布洛克演的真是很稳 低沉 压抑 加上汉斯季默的配乐真的很绝配
不过导演对于情绪的控制力还是可以的。
看的时候就觉得有点怪怪的，感觉有些剧情强行出现巧合，很突然，支离破碎，后来结尾处显示才恍然，原来是剧集改编的。。女主演得挺好的。
守护什么呢。
很高兴看到影片这样的解决，被保护的最终还是被保护了。
世间的真相有的时候真的是看你怎么interpret
桑德拉还是那个桑德拉 多给一分是给一个在现实中永远求不到的底层人的公证
老师每次让看的电影感觉都是我不会主动去看的类型，前面看得我快得抑郁症了，最后那一段好好哭啊……
故事不算复杂，女主演的很好
生活太苦了，卡司名单出来的时候才意识到脖领已经哭湿了。
