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!
6.5 恍如一套疫情新闻合订本。跳切越轴失焦，兼带手机影像。AM用反常方式冒犯观众，以具有煽动性的新型媒介调动政治性标志物，与现实发生强制链接。群像构建未免单薄，即便在开头跳过常规桥段以让出时间，但疯批角色始终占少数，写实性与戏剧性同时缺位，导致对人物性格的复沓处理变得低效。当第三幕从高潮急转而下，各种现世图像随机闪现，直到万物飘散尘埃中，竟抛弃讽刺转而扛起LOVE&PEACE大旗。不够尽兴，但总的来说比索德伯格那部洗衣店要好一些。
反派逻辑迷惑道德绑架，整个外传就是赶之又赶，就连狗最后的死亡都带着哦戏份到了的意味，反转虽然能给人刺激但是本身却没有太多的篇幅去详细描写，于是显得更加摸不着头脑。当子供向作品要拿非子供来吹的时候我大概也能预料到这个外传会多么不合我口味。再说说人物，其实如果这个外传没挂名在saber名下真的会好很多……我现在最大的感想就是长谷川挺好的，还有很看好上堀内走出特摄，这部外传里监督调度能力完全碾压剧本……
剧情简单但不幼稚，温馨而不狗血。最后人类在知道真相后依然不选择搬迁，人类与巨魔的城墙也依然存在，如果孩子们看完意识到这个事情，我还真不知道怎么解释。能在故事中加入换位思考、与人为善、反战、母爱、奉献等等要素，已是不可多得的子供向动画。
多久没有看过这么辛辣讽刺充满黑色幽默的电影了？！
一个精致的，淡淡的，忧伤的外传，假面骑士的平成史上有ea的三部神级外传，到了令和我想这部外传可以与其分庭抗礼。
一群大演员出来演小品，平庸、平淡。。。这种讽刺剧还是萨沙老师弄的那些好一些。
跟其他的假面骑士都不太一样，不过中间的剧情还是很好看的
前面是乌托邦，后面happy ending，剧情一波三折，完成度很高，在当下看起来很应景 !
有被触动到 个人理解父亲只是为见到伦太郎而编织这么一个谎言 要是没有这事情 伦爹就会像结局那样一生都无法再见到伦宝了吧
meh～资本家一口大白牙是化妆吗？话都说不清还随时要嗝屁的样子《狼厅》里好像不是这样吧。
这部作品虽然说没有多少打戏，但是情感到很到位，所有人都是为了爱而驱使行动，只是各自的"爱"不一样而已，最后就像片尾一样点题，不是深罪的三重奏，是深爱的四重奏（个人理解）
三分一分打给主角团造型，设计用心
every time I watch Leonardo's new films all I can think about is his young beautiful face. Oh youth.
我真的会被这种剧情“创死”（没说不好的意思）
满分。有的时候觉得巨魔就是没有经过社会化的原始人，但是终于我们知道，他们也有个性，有爱好，有观念，还有更重要的是有爱。希尔达这次的历程就像是认识一种社会化的重要性，关于珍视家人和友人，这也是每个人应该经过的历程，Hilda和母亲渐行渐远再到分开时的思念，David和母亲观念冲突的烦恼，这些都是真实可触的。Frida的能力其实更加直达沟通的深邃，最后所有的巨魔站在他们母亲的正上方，告诉他们：“我的孩子，妈妈好欣慰，你们也许不记得我，但是我绝不可能忘记你们，好好照顾彼此，要坚强、要善良，要记得我一直都在身边。”对于巨魔来说，她就像是一个真正凝聚全部巨魔的共同体，这个本体的本质是理解、包容和善念，只可惜人没有这个了，在去宗教化和去神秘的作用下，在家庭以外，人类很难再做到照顾彼此，但是其实这也够了。
如果最近两三年非常密集的跟踪社会新闻政治新闻，早就愤怒失望绝望无数次再回归平静了。主创们倒是表达了自己的讽刺、恐慌爽到了，可是真的好无能啊。单论故事，讲得既不疯狂又不有趣，讽刺的所有点都没有现实荒诞，更别说还能留下多少思考了。
整个故事没什么亮眼的地方，最有意思的还是最后的ed，几位塞壬都只说了亲人被卷入剑士的战斗中牺牲，却没说清楚是剑士与怪人打还是内斗（从伦太郎的话我推断是打怪人）
实质上完成的论述是，沟通失效的必然性，以及媒体如何走向势必的死亡。
一个所有导演都想写的命题作文，写成了美国笑话大全
这阵容看着真享受。具有实效性的讽刺，荒唐。
