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!
摄影有布列松那味，但是一看到男主屁股那么大就又……不是那味。长镜头监狱那段，真的挺帅。
5/10给我这种观影体验的今年只有两部，一部是《算牌人》，一部是《热带往事》。自带一种迷人的氛围，但这种氛围究其根本却让人觉得冗长无比。影片有一股日式黑暗的氛围（导演曾拍摄过《三岛由纪夫传》），由一个糜烂的创口开始过往，一切如图鱼眼镜头般变形成不可逆转。扑克牌牵扯一种连锁反应，和故事形成轴转体系，但故事如此朴素真不应该。
没想到是忏悔录 跟赌博其实没几毛钱关系 节奏是真的慢 剧情也是靠猜
虽然我挺困的，是真困了，但是电影还是好看的，强撑着睡意看完了。
赌片怎么可以拍得这么无聊，奥斯卡面瘫冷漠脸就是我的观影写照
威尼斯主竞赛的片子，看片名以为是讲赌博的，实际却是自我救赎的故事…剧情设计有亮点，但整体讲的很平淡，爱情线更是有点莫名，好在Oscar Isaac是真的帅…
除了回忆中扭曲的监狱还令人耳目一新外，其他部分实在是不行……开头的气势让我以为他有什么惊天大计划，没想到最后变成失足少年拯救片。
救命 奥斯卡真的狠狠戳我xp😍😍谢谢老爷子 很好代真的 7.5 故事真是讲得不疾不徐啊
部分桥段的镜头处理跟《第一归正会》一毛一样，当然这部更无聊也更陈旧
开头得眼神设计。回忆得拍摄效果。私人化得情感但看不明白的赌博
It's not bad, ”but…it's repetitive. ”
ᐈ一个小时玩40局，一天玩8到12小时，一周玩6-7天
加害者与受害者一体的创伤后遗症呈现，可是真的好枯燥好无聊。
导演功力不够 把主题拍得小而浅 但是镜头处理得很好 所以不至于给一颗星（只要忍住前一半的无聊还是能坚持看完的
宝刀不老 典型老爷子的sensational movie 刻意地使用数字感极强的影像和现代化到浮夸的奇观 直接喊话政府 后悔没在影院上的时候看一遍大银幕 总让美国队长赢钱这事是不是太on the nose了
非常内心的，情绪化的一部片，不论是回忆的镜头还是主角独处时的野兽的喘息，配乐，包括片的的明暗对比，都是主角内心感受的映照，把奥斯卡的娇憨去除得干干净净，全片弥漫着沉默的强大的苦痛的男性气质，却异常地单纯，当单纯和残忍结合的时候，人物是格外迷人的，就像《老无所依》里的巴登一样，只是这里的奥斯卡是善良的，所以只能表现痛苦。
ᐈSERE计划，也就是生存、躲避、抵抗与逃离，他们一直处于应激状态，感官被剥夺，被关在封闭空间里，被迫听高分贝的轰击声，忍受饥饿和睡眠剥夺，还有性羞辱
讲自我救赎的公路片，男主角的人设细节设计的很好，剧情拍的太平淡了，观感有点闷
有些拍摄手法比如鱼眼广角是有趣的，但是大部分故事线动机都非常薄弱…救赎的合理性也没有讲的很清楚…爱情线也太突兀了…
主角和男孩相互救赎的主线引出战争对人的迫害。立意很好，拍得不咋地，四不像。
