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!
3.5星。虽然极简的黑白影像很有个性，但整体观影过程仍然感觉电影是对舞台剧的简单移植。电影本身的力量可能来自于莎翁戏剧文本的力量，除此之外过于简单粗暴的淡出转场，造成了荧幕特有的代入感和共情感缺位。表演上佳，但不统一，割裂感较重。有的戏剧性风格很严重，有的则电影生活化。总而言之，这部片子像是扛着摄像机摄录了一部不错的舞台剧。
开头从浓雾中走来的麦克白，结尾处遮天蔽日的群鸦，以及荒野女巫，分别从我这里获得一颗星。
以及，最新版麦克白夫人首镜，完全就是“该她”的毫无违和感[哇]一切天注定。
最後一鏡比群鳥恐怖😟“Delbonnel的挑戰”😇
没觉得有什么大的突兀 其实反映出水平的相当不错了
光影大赞，戏剧和电影的完美融合，把该简化的元素都简化了，黑白的电影艺术精品。
无数次把鼠标拖到视频顶部查看文件名，确认我不是在看National Theatre Live
看的第二版Macbeth 为了看daniel craig版的百老汇版做准备
印象最深的是Macbeth去刺杀Duncan那场戏：拱顶的影子在地上排列整齐，仿佛正等人去搅乱，M便踏上它，一步步向前，光影在他脸上逐次闪过——看啊，悬垂的匕首就在前方！就像我手中的这把。握住
科恩哥哥独立打造吗，他是有点想表达的东西啊。极具风格化的一部电影，从画幅到布景，再到表演到台词，完完全全莎翁年代味了，文绉绉的话语搭配在华盛顿身上，显得非常反串和搞笑，但是进入麦克白的世界以后，一切就都醇厚正宗了。古代人死于预言，这回是移动的树林能杀人
也不是第一次看麦克白的故事了，这版比较打动人的是前段对于莎翁原著的纪实化呈现，在文本上显得更为厚重。有点可惜的是，后半段节奏掉的很快，使得人物终究不立体，故事情节不够圆润，震撼力也就不太够。麦克白的悲剧是必然的，历史上的很多失败一直在不断重演，成王败寇亘古不变，守天下永远比打天下难。
意外地缺乏冲击感，也许与节奏有关。动作编排或成最大亮点
当个有声书听听还凑合，非常厌恶大量使用黑人演员的政治正确，强行将角色赋予黑人破坏了观影乐趣。
莎翁剧到底适合什么样的影像表现形式？室内+黑白+多象征
太一般了，一直在用全景卖弄陈旧的黑白建筑摄影美学和用特写夸示演技之间疲劳地切换，选角亦不出彩，有黑泽明、威尔斯和贝拉·塔尔等版本在先，科恩出一部这样的新版实无必要
麦克白怎么拍都好看？风格化的戏剧舞台质感，和15年库泽尔那一版相比各有千秋。有莎士比亚的台词，怎么看都不会闷
表现主义的重现契合麦克白暴君性的一面，可电影的优点也仅限于此。
冲动五星系列。A24 yyds以及A24公关yyd垃圾我说累了。解锁了”the Scottish play”🤫 art design美得不像是这个世纪的电影，非要扣的话要说黑白片光太亮略失层次感。Harry Melling继续为HP毕业班加分，希望小哥哥一直接好戏！gleeson爹的Duncan我竟没认出来。get了sleep no more和double trouble的出处。另一个personal的扣分点，是确实不太能接受美音念出Shakespeare’s English.
至于画面、故事、美术那差的更加不是一星半点。
形式华丽、构图精致、摄影绝美、表演扎实，奈何以伯格曼《第七封印》般肃穆的影像风格复刻黑泽明《蜘蛛巢城》电影质感对莎翁文本的经典诠释，细节上做得再极致，也不过是邯郸学步的削足适履。抽离了科恩兄弟引以为傲的荒诞底色，在视觉上加buff也不过是一场极致华丽的舞台秀，却没有科恩式的电影感，于是沦为学院派气息浓厚的情怀之作，在美学上是精彩的影像实验，于电影本体却鸡肋许多。
