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!
明显过誉。不过就是用雅克特纳或大卫柯南伯格某类题材的电影，与约翰保曼某部电影进行了嫁接混容，试图用后者的角色身份去尽量误导观众，然后再用前者的角色身份去解释剧中发生的一切惊奇反转！只可惜答案揭晓未必能让人满意。首先，因为这种层级的掩藏身份不留痕迹几乎不可信——何况还总和熟悉这种身份的人打交道。即便成立，也等于变相贬低这两种职业的达人们；其次，剧情的叙事操纵感太明显。导演虽假借男主之口反复强调“无法完美”，可这些所谓破诈和意外其实也都刚好在需要它发生的时间点发生。比如，那突然打来的电话要是没响怎么办？柜中人感觉危险如选择其他意想不到的方式出柜怎么办？总之，没有人可像男主那样在一个必然包含太多随机不确定性的事件链条去实施阴谋！反复的险象环生+逢凶化吉？这不叫惊悚，这叫喜剧！……两星半。
单一场景的精彩故事。撸起袖子露出左青龙右白虎的时候太震撼了。
短小精悍的室内电影，感觉拍成话剧会非常精彩，剧本不错，层层反转，虽有bug，瑕不掩瑜。
佐伊·达奇的演技真的是差，只要她开口，就让人出戏。
短小但不够精悍，前50分钟比较乏味。后续的故事，也颇有种为反转而反转的意味，因为老头的计划达成得太顺利，显得黑帮很蠢。最后又翻出老头的真实身份，固然很帅，但有些画蛇添足。
单一场景，话剧电影，依靠对话和巧合层层递进，剧本扎实，酣畅淋漓。Richie有角度像马修古迪， Francis有角度像迈克尔皮特，片尾出字幕，名字里带有O的停留时间稍微久一点，然而最后三秒出现FOCUS时，O却是模糊的
严丝合缝，正如Mark Rylance的表演
美国黑帮风云仅是悬疑反转的残渣，伦敦学究发音为犯罪镀上优雅的金边。背叛的废土上长出迷幻的玻璃球，脏污的钱箱里交换干净的异国梦。用洞穿腰间的子弹浓缩一场盛大的械斗，以裁剪布料的剪刀制胜满城枪火，用录音带的长卷布下贪婪的圈套，让缝纫店的怒焰将无情都市燃成灰烬。为人父母有时便仿若是那套高高悬挂的样衣，但是否合身依然需要自我去剪裁。
闷头做事，侧耳倾听，穿针引线，挑拨离间，一身功夫，一场大火，没有假期的杀手，心若在，梦就在，大不了重头再来。
我说实话，很久没有一部电影看哭了……师傅死的时候，让我想到了《兹山鱼谱》，那种师生情太让人肃然了……
ps.柳乐优弥演的年轻北野武怎么有种德永既视感。
人生如戏，戏如人生。北野武这小老头真有两把刷子
前半部分不错，后半段剪辑太快太硬，和整部电影基调不搭，也和电影真正的主角气质不符，随着剧情不断推进，较平庸没啥特别想象力的调度把房间内的神秘感也消耗殆尽，最后来一个同类电影较平庸的装酷收尾。影片开玩笑那段是个小高潮，骗枪里没有子弹算很不错但属于缺乏深思熟虑的点子，因为作为专业杀手，这么小的左轮手枪有没有子弹的分量感还是知道的，我有个比这个更好的点子，电影发展到这里裁剪师已经单方面碾压，给观众番茄杀手会被骗的感觉，但番茄杀手果断开枪，打死两个保镖，同时强化了该反派角色，不至于主角给人一种不过是走个过场扮猪吃虎罢了。
就在我以为是父女温情故事的时候，又翻了一下，可以加一颗星。
非常优雅流畅，设计精妙，反转连连，演员张力很棒
“有些事在哪里都一样，所以我在哪里并不重要，只要我有剪刀就行。”
很喜欢单场景悬疑 但回想一下整件事不可控因素太多了 尤其是儿子打来那个救命电话 要没这茬美宝不就要寄了
少林扫地僧的英式故事。细节经不起推敲，且故事不宜讲得过长，能想象做成舞台剧。Mark Rylance表现力太令人爽了。
像套装一样精致又刻意hhh 总之没有一个裁缝是好惹的懂了吗！
影帝的北野武，那种凶的气场一下子就能找得到（除了少了一点年迈感我还真以为是那个男人）。怪不得北野武看起来那么凶又那么温柔，原来是师父就喜欢八嘎八嘎八嘎啊。所以北野武看了会不会评分吖
