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!
种姓歧视、教育、法律、人权、性侵、政治、民主……暴露出来的问题真是不少。法庭戏有点乱，还是印度法庭本来就这么乱？律师辩护过程更像讲故事+泄愤演讲。
首席政务部长的台词，律师的抗辩台词，句句值得截屏。印度电影和韩国电影相比，政治深度，已经并驾齐驱，并有赶超趋势。#20220720
「我的出生就是个错误」，可用于很多个国家。大学最应是有担当的地方。印度电影有比肩韩国电影之势了。
还是印度敢拍，咱们应该也有类似的事件，但绝不会搬到大荧幕上去的。民众、舆论是很容易煽动的，所以咱们的言论管控很严，想让我们知道的我们会知道，不想让我们知道的我们也不会发现。
故事D：正义律师忍辱负重一朝加倍奉还。
就是比韩国电视剧还扯的剧情在印度就能发生，是巧合吗？不，是命运的安排……
节奏较差，反转一般，被廉价的同情与愤怒煽动的观众，就和里面被愚弄的民众一样，他们和电影本身一样，不会进行深刻思考。电影整体上缺乏深度，只是对一些现象简单罗列，娱乐效果也一般，做成纪录片加详细社会调查，再把多余的钱用来拯救那些无助的女性或许更有意义。这些缺乏深度、没有独到见解，消费大众道德感的电影越来越多，本质上和娱乐电影并无区别，甚至可以说是另一种伪装，会让这个社会更加疲惫。
每个国家都有各自的问题，是选择直面还是逃避？允许监督还是禁止？允许讨论还是禁止？允许批评还是禁止？
印度拍出了法制题材影片新高度。司法正义并不是群众的正义，影片探讨了多个社会热点议题，但是最让人深刻的就是律师对多数人的暴政所提出的批判。
印度电影的小毛病都在，但依然五星，给题材。能这样拍电影、能拍出这样的电影的国家和民族有未来。
落后的国家，落后的体制，竟然为了博取选民的投票而费劲心思操控司法和媒体，真是笑死我了，还好我在中国
要素过多。。这些内容且不谈其挖掘的深刻程度，能行云流水地串在同一桩案件里形成逻辑闭环已经足够获得盛赞。
“这就是政治。为了赢，我会玩任何肮脏的游戏，政治家最大的武器知道是什么吗？情感!公众的情感!是疯狂，他们的思想，智慧还有决策都会被这种疯狂推翻。当他们因为这种情绪而忘记一切的时候，我们就能实现统治!”
好久没有静下心来看剧了，也看了不少印度电影，真的不错，至少人家敢说敢拍出来
有的人佩服印度和韩国敢拍还过审，但他们或许不知道，这两个国家所拍摄的敏感题材电影并非子虚乌有，虚构出来的，而是已经到了反反复复发生，全世界皆知的地步。韩国的腐败世界有名，几乎每一任总统都贪腐受贿被弹劾，印度的贪污腐败更是根深蒂固。韩国性侵案也很多，不止是娱乐圈还有孩子。印度的腐败阻碍了他们的经济发展，强奸案影响了他们的社会和谐稳定。今年几部印度关于这方面题材的电影我都看了。片中的2019年的案件确实发生过，当时传到国内只是奸杀焚尸，并没有说是谋杀。不管怎样，我觉得再多这样的影片也唤醒不了印度人民，因为民主制度的缺陷并不适合十三亿人多 印度。上世纪八十年代跟我们在同一起跑线上，如今被我们远远抛在身后。再过十年印度还是会如此。等着瞧吧。某些人不要觉得看了几部印度好片就觉得印度电影胜过我们这很无知
神了，最近的一次望月，全程高能，无限反转
印度人对自己社会问题反省和批判的力度让我们汗颜，虽然表现手法直白幼稚了一点，还是给个高分支持。
近两年印度这种社会题材电影，总是想装进去的内容太多，满则溢，再加上全程垫bgm不停渲染情绪的拍法，总归看多了会让人疲劳。
四星，剧本，反转都很出彩，但最后10分钟信息量爆了，有些逻辑没理太轻。多一星给鼓励，印度电影最近真的勃勃生机啊~
印度在题材上的大胆和韩国电影不相上下。真是让我们望尘莫及。
