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!
让学会了专业知识和心理状态的人去对付无辜的百姓，这是这个世界上最恶毒的罪行
看之后：当然要啊！导演你自己看看你拍的是什么！（摔）可以说吗，杉野遥亮的演技真是…啮檗吞针……
三星半，对独裁的幽默消解以及对人性过度自信，须知历史上最想灭绝人类的从来不是机器，恰恰是人类自己。
拍的很好...没有特别的愤怒，很平静，很平静的接受了客观存在的不公
室内戏布景不错，就是电影本身提不起劲，差火候。
#venezia78 主竞赛单元。Stark! 请给评审团大奖！
可爱又可怕的机器人以及外国人的幽默 尤尼克斯驯化的人和马戏团的动物一样 模特的身材真好
年龄大了 看这种慢悠悠的日本文艺片觉得有点看不下去了
之前觉得法国人的笑点比德国人还怪，这部科幻喜剧片打破了这种印象。讲了很多，节奏也很好，起伏跌宕，还能多要求什么呢。
特别喜欢这种画面四平八稳的克制，在各方势力间拉扯的唯一目击证人，深陷而无法自拔，这不止发生在波兰的那时，也可能发生在现在的身边。
波兰人总是能将一个好题材拍的一塌糊涂，《风信子》如是，《不留痕迹》亦如是。看得出剧本未经细致打磨就已投入使用的痕迹，松散的叙事结构削弱了「白色恐怖」之于人物的紧张性与压迫感，冗长且拖沓的剧情推进令观众带入感瞬间降低，热血跌至冰点。葬礼一节不像是反抗与控诉而更具邪典意味。尤其最大的败笔是毫无背景与人物的介绍就急于匆匆展开剧情，使观影前半段观众皆处于「他是谁，她又是谁？他要干嘛，她又要干嘛？」的状态，云里雾里不明所以非常别扭。典型的有素材无剧本，两星全给事件本身。
比较典型的法国风格电影，脑洞还是挺大，可惜有爱死机玉珠在前，这个脑洞就差了点意思。整体感觉就是把短篇拉成了长篇，并没有更多的惊喜。
典型的法式浪漫幽默，节奏张弛有度，反转有趣。
奇特的电影，虽然看起来很夸张，但是都是能想见的未来，离我们并不遥远，心底产生莫名的恐惧。故事很独特，非一般科幻片推荐一看。
AI的big bug是错把敌对人类清除计划搞成了自我清除计划……
#TIFF21 第47场 很工整，但角色的刻画不知为何都很脸谱化，弧光的组构心有余而力不足，同时很多点没能深入探索，只是浅层次一笔带过，有些可惜。
剧情略拖沓，本来期待很高的。很压抑，整部剧没有一个人道德完美，也没有一个人真正勇敢了，但可能这才让这部剧更真实吧…
法式幽默的笑点真的get不到，总觉得痒痒没有被挠到的那种别扭

三星半 有点拖又不够厚重，不知道哪里出了问题呢
