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!
Director Spielberg怎么会选一个有肢体障碍的傻大个扮演男一？他一人的拙劣几乎毁掉了整部电影，好在有完美的Ariana Debose扳回一城。
get不到点，偶尔有些熟悉的歌，剧情挺老套的，感觉小鲜肉hold不住
老版西区故事的故事我就不喜欢。斯皮尔伯格的remake哪怕制作层面水平拉满，依然改变不了这个故事的无趣和过时……男主得知女主死了的反应Ansel演得太好笑了……
《合约情人》北美任贤齐版本，文化的冲突，谎言的背景都挺契合当下题材，挺适合国内再次翻拍，剧本很好
The mafia musical happy ending ver. Romeo & Juliet. The choreography of the dance shows that the actors have worked hard to practice dance BUT not the main characters FFS
审美观的问题，理解不了歌舞犯罪片，前一天跳舞，后一天杀人？
可是男主没有好好道歉过啊。为什么engagement party上是女主单方面道歉啊。题目倒是挺好，Love Hard 跟《虎胆龙威》Die hard 对应上了。
Ariana DeBose的Anita独树一帜
这个确实属于认知壁垒或者知识盲区了。对我来说除了一些光影设计和中间那首America外这又是在难听到家的音乐中折磨人两个半小时的体验，所以我在读评论时频繁看到“经典唱段”这四个字时只能表示非常困惑了
场面调度和摄影都很喜欢，音乐结合舞蹈也十分精彩，只是故事的逻辑多少难以接受，没有代入感。
乔尔·科恩的《麦克白》比斯大爷的《罗密欧与朱丽叶》强点，关键男女主演技撑不住，忠实原著女主的人设槽点又太雷人。亲哥被杀思考五秒钟就原谅了东尼，反手就和东尼睡了，被嫂子发现还跟嫂子飙高音，把嫂子忽悠去被一群人侵犯，这种反人类的本子还有啥拍的必要呢。有几场的视听调度非常精彩，这几场里Mike Faist都功不可没。
情节内容和顺序上的调整，补强了原故事的逻辑链条，只是睡了杀人凶手那个最大的bug之一还是原封不动的照搬了过来。也加入了一定的底层白人困境、与移民的冲突和女性主义等当代改良元素。只是这样的话还有必要拍歌舞片吗？歌舞片段的表现力远及不上当年的话，倒还不如改编成一个当代故事剧情片。
先入为主加时过境迁吧，经典的唱段和舞蹈加配色倒是赏心悦目，男女主稍显单薄
上午看新版，下午看原版，新版在布景方面做得很超现实，故事、歌曲、舞蹈等保留了许多原版的痕迹，但在叙述层面我认为远不如原版。Anita和原版的风格不大一样，之前单看America片段觉得演员表演不如原版生动活泼，但完整看完全片觉得这和新版更为独立的角色性格是匹配的。很喜欢新版对药店主人的改动，是影片一抹模糊的温柔底色。
圣诞浪漫合家欢电影，起承转合做的还挺好的，节奏也很流畅，也有一些笑点但是不太够。诚实面对自己的主题，作为这种类型电影也算不错了。遗憾的地方在于男女主并没有擦出特别多的火花出来，结尾就生硬的在一起了，确实有点假。
歌舞片目前的发展水平，就是需要话剧式演技，生活流的演员请靠边。
疫情之下的奥斯卡，影片的影响力和内涵呈现出明显的疲软，当然，西区故事的入选也必然有精彩之处。
瑜不掩瑕 好多瑕剧情 选角导演也是瞎的 耐你是斯皮尔伯格也有拍不好的片子
全片看下来，只记住了黑人女配很亮眼，女主哥哥很帅气，光影运用很不错，服装设计很惊艳，舞美很赞，以及女主长得很怪异。整个故事改编自百老汇音乐剧，剧情内容是《罗密欧与朱丽叶》的翻版，比1961年版更去舞台化，情节上也做了大量调整，包括调整了原本的叙事顺序，删除了一些辅助于情感表达的段落（比如两头目死后，小弟们的愤怒），只保留了主要的剧情脉络（比如去掉了主角们父母也在的台词），丰富了部分人物背景，但也弱化了部分人物（比如警察），去掉了一些关键节点（比如黑人女配为何去找男主），魔改了一些内容（比如警局唱段，以及男主在黑人女配回家时死活不赶快走），这导致很多情节莫名其妙，甚至让人尴尬癌都要犯了，最后升华点也没升上去，戛然而止，真觉得男女主就是自己作死的，加上唱功与演技都很一般，真太让人失望。
但本身剧本没有大改动，像是斯皮尔伯格对于西区故事原剧作的致敬，但太过保守，舞台味过浓，电影感太少。
