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!
2.5。現代電影工業的精緻取向完全剝奪了復古美學的旨趣與內核，也剝奪了九成導演精進自己視聽語言的進取心。於是他們重複地給出最為廉價的視覺刺激元素，使得觀眾都吃驚於他們居然真的相信這些東西有效。
AlderwoodAMC杜比确实震撼，时不时的鬼魂剧情配上音效吓死个人。第一次看电影时坐电动沙发很是舒服。喝药女主突然和小黑开车令人无语。结局的反转令人懵。现实中的女主真水灵。211030
能看到很多电影的影子，赖特的影迷、歌迷属性还是太重了点，两个年代并没有很好的融合到一起，导致电影从半程开始基本沦为了一场视觉大秀，当然那些镜头拍的的确不错，但是放在了一个比较差的故事里
精神病人欢乐多，2个女主还是喜欢的，可惜后半段不知道讲了啥，为神经而神经。
很classic的一个故事，在艳丽的色调和慵懒的音乐下变得有趣了不少。最亮眼的是第一次回到60年代通过镜子El和Sandie互相转换的镜头，很有意思。中间幻影部分惊悚感比较强，真的进入破案反而比较平淡。
视听声效相当精准地长在了我的恐怖点上，厌男发作。但最后的结局让我如鲠在喉，感到不快。
竟然很concrete，不是我想象中迷幻的东西。立意快像竹子一样削人脸上了，男性依然可能看不懂。但我个人其实不太prefer这么做，就是做成现实中的受害者也是devil的处理。豆瓣短评中表示“那个时代（的风格的美术）那么美你怎么拍这个好浪费”的观众，跟复读“一下雪北京就变成北平”的网友，虽然或许欣赏的文艺作品不一样，本质是同一型的冷石头。
镜像的巧妙运用，梦境与现实的交织，摄影机徘徊于黑胶与霓虹灯，并将观众拉回美轮美奂纸醉金迷的60s伦敦
以恐怖题材电影成名的导演拍了一部小妞电影，上一次我看到还是《见鬼》导演之一彭顺拍的《宅女侦探桂香》。我不知道这文本是埃德加赖特主导还是另一位编剧主导，但我相信如果把两位女主角的结局换一下叙述顺序，至少还可以再加一星。丁正勋的摄影手法和欧美电影工业体系还是融合得来的，也很大程度上保证了影片的观赏性，不过前提是不要和他和朴赞郁合作的《老男孩》《亲切的金子》《斯托克》比较
#加州行观影系列#3.12旧金山飞新加坡机上看的。爱德加赖特是不是不太适合拍惊悚片，故事本身就挺空洞了，有加上这故弄玄虚的各种技法，literally很穿越。最差的是结尾，我很费解：她住了这么久都不知道房东姓甚名谁？？明明喝了毒药，挣扎两下之后就又跟没事人一样，又是打斗又是逃跑的……？
女主的智商和天分成反比啊，复仇正常，但是也不能不问名字就给人搞死啊。。。
我就应该知道安雅演的女孩子绝不简单，一起毁灭吧！结尾不是什么happy ending，而是勇敢的女性无论经历什么都会活过来过自己的人生。
不会真有人觉得嫖客死了就会变得很可怕吧？不会真有人觉得妓女反杀就是大反转吧？导演对性别运动的嘲讽振聋发聩啊，何必结尾再一番讨好呢？到底有没有ball啊兄弟？
呈现效果本可以更好的，剧情转折开始就变得混乱了
创意还是很不错的！除了完全没必要的感情戏，另外结局太拉垮了
太难看了，想不到埃德加赖特也拍浪费资源的电影，这部电影最大的优点，也是最大的浪费，是正确选择了两个好女主
本來前面還在思考他怎麼一直跟著女主角的日常生活而不流於沉悶。結果睡一覺突然入夢就開始放飛自我，從此跟不上，後段直接爆睡，意識到讓觀眾跟隨是一件非常重要的事，不是不能飛，而是要帶著觀眾一起飛。
镜像的巧妙运用，梦境与现实的交织，摄影机徘徊于黑胶与霓虹灯，并将观众拉回美轮美奂纸醉金迷的60s伦敦
857和霍酒，到底有啥乐趣啊。21世纪第三个十年，是铅的十年？
就知道脫褲子的無臉男鬼沒資格求救哈（ 不過最後做出來的衣服是不是有點太醜了😄
