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!
本以为不赖特，却依旧很赖特，风格确实很适合拍这种老时代，曲子很棒，镜像和幻境也很棒，视听实在惊艳，受剥削女性的跨时代通灵，无形的压迫无处不在，文本故事还是俗套了些，但风格完全可以盖过 ，今年的最佳恐怖片，我就选这部了！
太难看了，想不到埃德加赖特也拍浪费资源的电影，这部电影最大的优点，也是最大的浪费，是正确选择了两个好女主
3.5🌟要不是结尾崩了.....原可以是更棒的作品
总之，是半部好电影，前面的学生、舞女、观众，三层视角运用的太妙了，就是我们在做梦梦里面第一视角和第三视角并存的完美呈现。但到后来，就开始套路了，导演也忘了开始他要讲什么了，全乱了全废了。
不如导演其他的作品，后面很崩，但是胜在安雅迷人
后段连环反转十分漂亮，确实被前期的暗示骗到了，后边直接180度大反转，精彩！而且反转合理，前边也都有细节伏笔。缺点是前半段代入感有点差，节奏也有点拖。
#venezia78 非竞赛展映。Edgar Wright真是一个excellent storyteller，可以把任何故事装在精美的潘多拉盒子里，故事层层推进，高潮时所有evil喷涌而出，打得观众七零八落。前面有一些熟悉的电影的影子，鉴于剧本是他本人写的，我把这看做致敬，因为Edgar绝不是一个缺乏想象力的艺术家。影片直到2/3处Thomasin McKenzie饰演的女主都不讨我喜，尖叫得有点生硬，但鉴于Edgar是个纯直男，在大决战干净利索完美处理并且明确点题后不得不接受他就是要这么简单粗暴直接了当的释放。有时我们对一个导演宽容，除了因为对他的喜爱之外，还有对他稳健自信的倾佩。女性题材以这样一种形式表达，虽不够思想深刻，但足够令人印象深刻。男人们在侵犯女性时，应该思考一下，到底谁之错。
好漂亮的转场！好厉害的调度！好牛逼的审美！喜欢！
但凡漂亮略带风骚的女人就可以被说成是荡妇，明明是强迫，还恬不知耻的说，是你自愿的。
本來前面還在思考他怎麼一直跟著女主角的日常生活而不流於沉悶。結果睡一覺突然入夢就開始放飛自我，從此跟不上，後段直接爆睡，意識到讓觀眾跟隨是一件非常重要的事，不是不能飛，而是要帶著觀眾一起飛。
确实不太行，埃德加赖特还是老老实实做喜剧吧
这些不合理都削弱了剧情和女主Anya的感染力。
硬是把伦敦版lalaland炮制成了让人疑惑到底什么鬼的鬼片
3.5⭐和我想象中不太一样的结尾……过于魔幻了，好喜欢托马辛，像小鹿
好可惜啊
画面和构图兼具美感和冲击感，多处巧妙的运镜和适配的歌舞音乐都是极致的视听享受，同时复刻上世纪六十年代星光璀璨，弥漫耀眼的时尚歌舞圈，故事核心却是一个极具悲剧性的主题，充满巨星的梦想但只能在无尽的现实牢狱中一遍遍重复阶层的欲望侵害，这个社会不是靠自己却是靠关系。可惜这个故事还是不够精彩，后期的反转不算震惊，警察角色的单薄和不够自洽的人物行为逻辑，不过依旧展示了一个很有野心的电影风格，埃德加赖特始终是我很欣赏和喜欢的导演，两位女主也是全片的亮点之一，安雅饰演这种风情美艳具有人性特色的角色真是再合适不过了
20211130想看，20211207在看。女主你天天做怪梦就没想过风水问题吗！没事不要看精神分裂症电影。以及这很未麻的部屋。
创意还是很不错的！除了完全没必要的感情戏，另外结局太拉垮了
迷失的怀旧再现和噩梦螺旋就总是想起大卫林奇的穆赫兰道，加上如影随形存在的待宰羔羊般惊恐则是波兰斯基的The Tenant和Repulsion——不过都是淡化口味的低配了。按照Ms Collins说的，伦敦每一个房间每一个街角拐弯都死过人。不错的，这就是鬼魂笼罩的都市，到处有残秽的女王土地。60年代大概是英国音乐的黄金时代，故事也定义于音乐的框架内，甚至可能受制于视觉，在光鲜的酒吧和歌舞厅流行之间，霓虹的五彩斑斓也有黑暗的角落，被堕落的快乐和性剥削所腐蚀。导演对镜子的运用挺花哨的，但不生硬，镜子变幻就某首诗浮上脑里，借用一下——「一面镜子永远等候她，让她坐到镜中常坐的地方」。
1. 女主比安娜好看一万倍，不知道安娜的神颜是怎么夸出来的；
