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!

当山田洋次的一部怀旧家庭喜剧看还不错，做松竹100周年纪念？算了。年轻组的部分剧本和演技都非常灾难。整个故事脱离历史语境但又要蹭一下小津们的余晖（倒不如索性直接虚构）、主角这个欲改革制片厂未遂的失败者角色也证明了松竹根本无力回顾自己真正的历史遗产，大岛渚筱田正浩吉田喜重都笑了。
尽管故事多少显得有些老套，但导演山田洋次那颗热爱电影的赤子之心还是会在不经意间感染观众。尤其是当曾经电影当中偶像从银幕走入现实的桥段，除了能让人想起《开罗紫玫瑰》里的动人爱情，还有“在电影中死去”的浪漫感也会涌上心头。
松竹百年就拍了个这？男人的迷影情结为啥总要老婆来承受你的中二自私？一句“你幸福，她就一定幸福”奠定了这部电影东亚直男普信电影的基调。
看完这部，基本上算是和山田洋次导演告别了，实在不喜欢他片中演员的话剧般的表演方式，即使是之前口碑不错的家族之苦也是如此。况且这一部结构上也很有问题，青春、亲情、热爱、新冠，想表达的太多，又很蹩脚。
台庆合家欢嘛……917，2021北影节第1场，苏打的鼻子侧面看已经快赶上匹诺曹了
可以说叙事等同于没有。没有叙事动力，只是情怀的堆砌。
现场都是笑着的观众
SummerIFF2021@英皇iSQUARE 男主角年轻时期和老年时期的人设的割裂感有点严重（男二倒还好），剧情拼凑感也很强，东扯一点西扯一点，此外剧情上男二还有喧宾夺主之嫌。/本片最好看的部分其实是男主年轻时在片场的故事以及对于拍电影的感悟，但是这部分的情节太少了。/结局雷人，看起来就像好女孩淑子反倒被讽刺和男主是假面夫妻，女演员园子反而是男主的真爱？（如果想表达电影是男主的真爱，大可不必用这种会导致错误解读的手法。）
永远都能接受山田洋次的温情戏法，他总能拍出良善与真心，因为他懂得如何去刺痛良善与真心。把疫情与影院关闭轻描揉进一场戏里，都比那些大张旗鼓的抗疫煽情片要动人得多。
老年组三人和年轻组三人在表情上竟有微妙的重叠。。野甜甜弹吉他那段狠戳，但好人都是男二不是吗。虽然翻资料发现泽田研二老先生年轻的时候好帅，但结尾致敬志村健确实让人觉得可惜了。
以为会是迷影之神作，结果却像“作神”之影迷。2.5
完全是寅次郎的行事风格啊，观影过程中笑了多少次不记得了，但数了下，我哭了五次，或许每一个影迷都有在电影院死去的梦想，看电影看到死
像是快要高潮时却没电了的振动棒，我好着急还有些生气。/洋次郎和电影产业都好惨唉
90岁还能拍确实无比厉害，当然同时期还有好莱坞的东木，但一部寅次郎一部电影神除了证明山田洋次有一腔怀旧愁绪外似乎也没其他更多意义。
3.5。电影就是一帧一帧单独看来有点无聊的画面、连在一起就有别样力量的东西。女儿读到“老婆、淑子、我的小淑子”我就哭了，好温情啊。片尾还致敬了因为疫情过世中途退出拍摄的志村健先生。电影人和爱电影人统一的梦想“在观影中死去”。
相信每名导演拍乡愁时都很真诚，但并非谁都是费里尼、塔可夫斯基、阿巴斯或库斯图里卡。构图精美音乐动听距离好电影的仍有千里之遥。
分数：60

属于山田洋次自己的《天堂电影院》。受到疫情冲击的电影行业，让山田洋次开始思考电影与人的关系，也同时也藉由本片怀念日本电影的黄金时代，怀念他自己的青春年华。90岁高龄还在拍电影，还在为电影发声，很难得，剧作的粗糙也是肉眼可见，但他拍出了电影的本质:电影，是一场春梦，任何投沉浸其中的人都不愿意醒来。
