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!
讲述一位环保骑士踏上奇异之旅寻找真实的自我，最后看似差点没找着然后又找着了的故事
景观画面音乐氛围都很好，但故事过于冗长晦涩
很清新，很感人。
感觉很魔幻现实 也很荒诞无力 画面不错 打光不错 高文角色坐在王座上一度以为他要唱rap
年轻的高文，不要当骑士，也无需变伟大。人面对被斩首的命运走上前走，哪怕不接受最后的迎头一击也无可非议，但永远不要被一条不可破的绳索捆绑，顶着不存在的头颅过一世。太爱太爱，不出意外会是我的年度最爱，这正是传说在我梦中的模样。在最后的最后，绿色会覆盖一切。
没有宗教知识背景 看得云里雾里 看了第一篇影评后大概了解了各种隐喻
像看一幅幅油画贴到一起，画面感觉是有了，但是表演上乏善可陈，剧本也跟不上拍，没有说出一个很好的故事，太过于晦涩
这调调戳我，一定要看杜比视界版，跟SDR版完全是两部电影。
特别的成长故事，时间是所有人的敌人，也是所有人的朋友。
特别的成长故事，时间是所有人的敌人，也是所有人的朋友。
骑士的赴约之行也是自身的朝圣之行，更是寻找勇气成为真正骑士的考验。神性和宗教性的陌生设置了高门槛，故事单薄与玄虚的叙述方式也让人无聊。不过画面和氛围还是很好看，拥有绵绵无尽的森林和绿色。
7/10 、如果对中世纪传说不太了解的话，强烈建议看完电影再看一下相关的解析
不知道原来的民间故事，看了介绍只觉得，我ca这个故事的开头简直太棒了，太有趣，怎么拍都至少应该是四星吧，但可能期望太高吧，故事冗长而松散，不知道是不是按原版故事直接拍了，也许稍微改编一下会成一部经典，可惜也——突然发现主角是印度裔，好家伙占领硅谷之后，要在英国称王了！
基督最后的诱惑+道连格雷的画像+小王子。David Lowery就像我们写高考作文一样，总是亲切和蔼地给一段点题的长独白。情感上我还是更喜欢A Ghost Story，但是这部也可圈可点。
看不懂，大段大段的对话，真的跟读长篇宗教小说的感觉一样，太艰涩了。
整个剧情程设挺棒的，把故事内核就是讲主人公如何习得骑士精神，以及做一个明君的基本素质，融入在了主人公的旅途当中。个人的今年佳作之一。
二刷， 觉得值得5分。电影的改编让故事更合理
美术方面是做得挺好，服装设计那是很有味道。以古代末期为背景的奇幻故事，氛围塑造是能被感受到的。可能是叙事不怎么“亲切”，比较玄乎且魔幻。开头高潮然后平稳下来……
只可惜我對亞瑟王傳說不了解，影片裡大量的隱喻、語言腳本都看不懂。
仙姑神兽采花岛，天上人间马戏团。
