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!
今年目前为止看到最好看的黑白影像。前后2个故事联系不足，可能是我没get到吧。
Dev Patel开始有真正的”movie star”的范儿了
长篇叙事诗。导演野心很大，敢用亚瑟王圆桌骑士的故事玩meditation，听说借鉴了塔可夫斯基的《安德烈•卢布廖夫》，学习尚未成功，还有继续努力的空间，还可以再大胆一点。
用意我大概能明白，用一种反英雄的方式来重新讲高文的故事，里面有一些很特别的隐喻是不是有些晦涩了。但是光影和景色实在太美了，形式上充满了Anglo-Saxon时期的神秘感，配乐也特别棒，几段吟唱太美了。Green Chapel实在太漂亮了。(但漏雨)
很难不被作者的赤诚所打动，是弟弟与哥哥的漫长告别，曾经的双头导演 现在仅剩一位，叫人唏嘘。黑白部分优于彩色部分，火车段落尤为好，但还是没法忽视转彩色之后的些许断裂感…
精彩绝伦的奇幻片，是好电影。叔叔的生活虽然很糟糕，但是很有激情，乐观积极阳光，他的生活就是我的理想生活。台词设计很精巧，全部在线没有崩坏
骨灰、棺材、坟墓，死亡是主题。沉重的历史缅怀＞盖过了这部电影本身。
行將就木的魯班製作最後的工具，一把自掘墳墓的鐵鏟，當然也敲醒了Taviani，而不是Pirandello。
800倍速看完后半生但求一死的高文，还挺后现代的
看完挺懵逼的，出来后看到别人的背景评论才懂原来是这样。结合原本的故事看还挺奇妙的，就是有一点比较矛盾，他这么怂怎么会自愿接受游戏呢，如果改成被迫的话可能会说的通
如幽灵般游荡在历史、小说、旧影与现实的灰烬里，在模糊了的互文中，写一篇悼文。
燃料不愿意，我看是想当垃圾我不知道，快乐牛马
镜头语言很美很有范，但剧情无聊，抽象派吗，看睡着了。
既魔改但却又相当忠实高文爵士传说精神的一次改编。看到2/3的时候还以为要崩坏，没想到最后居然出乎意料的圆回来了。整体的Production以及Daniel Hart的配乐都相当出彩，不过还是需要配上字幕二刷再作评价
画面色调很不错，尤其是中间巨人场景又爱又怕，就是这故事虽然以前大学学过，但是这拍的也太无趣了点吧。
悲欣交集（撒骨灰这么俗 也能流下两滴猫眼泪
追忆、缅怀与反思，是电影也是纪录片，不仅是一个诺贝尔奖作家的骨灰归乡记，也是整个意大利的二战战败史，最后用这个作家写的一个小故事作为结尾，颇有点儿寓言和反思的味道，用暴力来终结暴力是一种小孩子式的思维和处理方式，但这就是战争
低龄治愈片～虽然我已经回想不起Clifford 长什么样了，但看的时候感觉还挺欢乐的
如果没有最后部分就是完整的欧洲回忆录和意大利笑话组成，浑然天成的乡愁 （不会拍美国就别拍好吗...你意的阳光怎么能假装成纽约
可能我不太懂这种流派…
