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!
你们不要再打啦，要打去练舞室打啊。故事也太老套了，不考虑好好改编一下吗。部分歌舞还不错，女主唱的不错，整体还是挺无趣的
不太出彩，但运镜，歌舞等让这部电影也还可以
所有群舞片段，运镜、调度、剪辑最大限度地展示出了它们所能够释放的魔力，这真的已经是商业电影视听享受的天花板了。丽塔莫雷诺踢开强奸者的彩蛋，比所有漫威彩蛋加起来都燃。小quiz：那些说照抄了原版电影的人哪里有毛病：A眼睛，B耳朵，C脑袋，D钝角
镜头调度和几场歌舞表演都不错，但观感很糟糕，其一是西区故事（罗密欧与朱丽叶）这个剧本放到现今看老派又守旧，观众不仅无法共情还会满脸问号..其二是男女主的演绎都令人失望，唱、演双重糟糕。
說實話，感覺不太到重拍的意義。最主要是衝著“baby”😆
音乐剧电影到了Spielberg手里，尬唱也自然了，close up也正常了，编舞魅力不减，演员唱功弱点被顺利掩盖，还给了我Ariana Debose和Mike Faist 那么亮眼的戏份。老奶奶的Abuela改编还蛮有想法的。不得不服。
经典的东西就留在过去好不好…何必再浪费这么多钱做个大型舞台剧
内核还是很陈旧，也不搞笑。而且不合眼缘就是不合，原来男的真的没有相貌焦虑啊！
坐在电影院里看到一半的时候我只有一个想法：我真的好不喜欢这个故事。歌也一般叭就，演员就更没感觉了，女主甚至看得我一头问号。看到最后我都想，这群人怎么没死光光呢。镜头画面，跳舞（特别是墨西哥人的舞）都拍得很好看。喜欢唯一一个正常人Anita（嫂子）。打分的时候会想两星是不是太过了，但一想到我在电影院里如坐针毡：必须两星，只能两星。朋友在旁边说旁边爷爷不知道哭什么，我后来想了想，如果我二十年前看了大野智他们演的舞台剧，也许今天我也会坐在这里哭叭。
不太可能发生的事情 杨靖外形的确很一般 catfish应该很恶心人吧 nina脸垮得叹气但身材很好
这个中二的剧情实在是看得我全程黑人问号lol… 三星全给神一样的斯皮尔伯格，40多年了依然是好莱坞商业片场景调度 & 艺术指导的业界天花板，真大写的服气
制作表演各方面都有水准，不过这故事我实在是看不下去。
Only very few moments capture some glimpses of a Gene Kelly musical. Unlike Bruce Lee’s martial arts, actors fail to express themselves truly through body movements or singing, although Spielberg's mise-en-scene nails it, the 2021 version of WSS is far from a good remake. Still love it for speaking up for the minorities.
最后的结局，额，是不是突然了点。
两星半，这样的故事放在非常工业化的布景里，放在现在这个社会环境里，会有一些违和，有一些情感的发展已经说服不了观众了。
这本来是个借爱情悲剧讲述种族歧视的作品？但我实在受不了恋爱脑蠢逼男女主...只要他俩的戏份都看得我难受的坐立难安。还有简直塑料兄妹情。。。确定是亲哥？你哥刚被他捅死，立马跟人家滚床单了？？？!!!我特么。。。然后嫂子在门外伤心欲绝想跟你谈谈，俩人还在窗口缠绵，嫂子推开门看到真的是心都凉了，我都想冲过去一个大嘴巴子抽死这对狗男女。。。嫂子后面还帮忙去传话，差点被强，好屈辱好心疼她，所以我看到她撒谎间接害死男主我不仅不难过反而觉得很爽，该!chino咋不把女主也干掉，史上最讨人厌男女主。。。
2021了居然还是有这么俗套的爱情片，有asian face但是和asian没有一毛钱关系，可以当下饭菜看一下，
2.5 史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格的业务水平肯定是教科书中教科书，他让我对歌舞片的厌烦DNA在看到一小时以后才开始动，歌舞片真的很难拍，按道理来说有得看就应该感恩艺术了。但是这个故事我实在蛋疼。今年奥斯卡尽是改编作品，蚌埠住了，奥斯卡：你们是我带过最差的一届。扭腰贫民窟的地盘争夺战。老史有多会拍男性荷尔蒙，拍爱情就有多像💩，“爱情”=“角色动机”，坠惹。《西区故事之载歌载舞解构阿美丽卡梦点到为止篇》。
有一点，对道德感更严的中国观众来说难以接受，那就是在哥哥死后，玛利亚的“表示”力度不够，仅仅骂两句东尼是不够的，而她也更不应该用上床的方式去安慰他。另外就是当哥哥的女友回到家，她不该用步步紧逼的姿态来表现自己和东尼之间的爱情，那只会让观众觉得她无情残酷，为了爱情抛弃亲情（虽然其本意是爱情高于一切，嫂子之所以答应她也是因为两人在对爱情的态度上达成一致）
烦死了都要22年居然为斯皮电影落泪。又不是12岁。比起当成普通室内情节剧来单一运镜的原片，这版更无限彰显音乐剧改编电影魔力。舞蹈和调度全面升级，如此灵活有力，以至于女演员跳舞时翻飞的大裙摆简直是比刀刃还要凶悍和挑衅的武器。罢黜了父辈的高压，少年帮派之间仍旧无法化解的对立，令其更身为不被庇佑的被诅咒的失去了一切只拥有仇恨的孩子。“今晚能来这里决战的，都是除了决斗就一无所有的人”。女主超出预期的好，男主在这片里的效果跟悲惨世界的小神马差不多，唱演跳俱烂。But Mike Faist just get the fucking Mercutio vibe，新的银幕crush已诞生。
