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!
肮脏诡谲的国度，重口程度更甚史云梅耶，像一场想象力溢出流脓的梦。
80/100。从《被遗忘的孩子》到《杀掉它，然后离开这个小镇》再到本片，无数导演都在向世界证明一件事情：动画片并非天真无邪的孩子们的专利，它也可以像特效大片那样带来给人以心灵冲击的视听奇观，它也可以像那些所谓的“禁片”那样传达出纯粹的脏、乱、差、丑、恶，它更可以触碰到大师的边界，在恍惚之间让观众领略到宇宙一瞬的震撼与无奈。 @2021-10-27 22:26:50
诡异疯癫、变态疯狂、血腥暴力。隐喻大量信息，似懂非懂～膜拜。
《2001:太空漫游》＋《潜行者》＋《生命之树》……？好吧，这种概括其实是一种思维的懒惰。这部电影，拥有着无与伦比的原创性。
因果循环，从诞生到毁灭，再诞生再毁灭，一切从混沌中来，又归于混沌。
是那一类7分中规中矩历史片，题材、剧本、演员在那，执行地只要规规矩矩就不会差的那种，现在的历史片因为大事件都拍过了现在就专挑一些不为人知的隐藏故事从小抓起，这部还是容易看进去的，洗白张伯伦，乔治麦凯又开始奔跑了，帝国的毁灭演戈培尔的演员终于混到演元首了
电影结尾写着Munich Agreement为英国及联盟换来时间备战，就像高赞说的—导演脑中的片名其实是<张伯伦: 被误解的英雄>。讽刺的是，1938年英法德意搞定了Settlement of the Czechoslovak ，把Sudetenland拱手相让给德国，而捷克只能任人宰割。
猎奇控一本满足，屎尿人被电视人掌控的世界……真棒啊。

极度讨厌这种形式太过于大于内容的东西，导演还是继续搞视效吧别拍电影。
制作的很棒，定格动画很流畅，猎奇至极，但我实在是无法理清这段故事
我也是真困，分了三次才看完，中途迷瞪好几次
挺牛逼的吧反正，属于打五星的那群人吹得我都看不懂那种
词汇表里 除了封神 只有烂的 对于一切无法理解的事物 只有两种走向的认知思维
随便说两个片段：
看之前可以看下“黑色谬论”的影评，我是之后看的，总算能串起来了，光怪陆离无法形容，很猎奇，也许也很艺术
《2001:太空漫游》＋《潜行者》＋《生命之树》……？好吧，这种概括其实是一种思维的懒惰。这部电影，拥有着无与伦比的原创性。
我虽然很喜欢精神污染的东西，但这…抽象的毫无道理，是制作者自嗨的作品。大兵哥摆完炸弹被抓走之前还不错，后面简直无聊到爆炸。
起初给三星，看到中后段给五星，结尾回到四星。
4.5为最后十分钟加一星，足够疯狂，野心足够大的杰作
