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!
剧本是不是就写了个大纲？非常潦草，小声地唱衰一下国美分裂出来的电影学院
部分技术瑕疵无关紧要，这部电影意义不在于此。
《云看出品就知道是一部绝对的艺术作品了，冲着拿奖去的所以肯定有别于商业性的主旋律电影。
视听在我看来非常优秀，芦苇荡镜头逻辑有点乱。内地院线需要更多这样的“电影院电影”。
#2021 青年导演海上影展 很惊喜很喜欢 第一次看到如此诗意这么清新脱俗的中国战争电影
12.11.17.45 丝路电影节观影 很有意思的摄影 比较遗憾的故事呈现 映后导演的分享也没为我带来什么多余的惊喜 不过导演有透露本来是15上映的因为浙江的疫情原因取消了 可能会在月底上映吧🤔
铁铸的丛林、危险正如爬行的蛇缓慢逼近、美术学院的光影：上帝般的光芒、芦苇荡与漂浮的虫豸：浸泡在失去饱和度的浮光跃影里。/站位自我神圣即舞台剧。/塔氏耸立的惨白的松树和吊挂的尸体。/另类主旋律：敌我皆能共情。执行军令并不是展示信仰的荣耀，为救更多活生生的人。/“我明白理想的真谛，让每个人拥有选择。”/湖南话好亲切ww
南京后窗放映看了，不知道是调色就这么调的还是银幕问题，画面里总有蓝光。看了半个小时才慢慢习惯这种泛蓝的画面…

三星半。形式特别，拍出了别样的战争感觉。最开始的烟气雾气质感挺特别的。但是剧情不是很好。
诗歌这种题材是骗不了人的，你有多高尚，多深奥，你的诗歌便有多优秀；你有多庸俗多浅薄，你的诗便有多媚俗。
中国电影学派！集多家之长，本土化自洽。虽有瑕疵但整体极佳，国美在电影领域不容小觑。期待更多有态度和艺术美感的“主旋律”。

只有摄影调色能看了…电影看完了人脸都对不上，拍的也太黑了，看的人眼睛累
人物塑造缺少了点信念感，抓不住观众。国画水墨，塔可夫斯基意境，前段处理极佳，后段略显乏力。满意之作
他们 拾级而上 直上云霄 视死如归
进影院之前，我觉得热评虽然刻薄，也八九不离十，这八成是一部学院派装逼自嗨电影。看完电影以后，我？？？原来装逼的是热评。哇这酸臭味大得可以再拍一部甄嬛传了。
有点致敬老塔的意思，摄影真牛逼。国美永远的神。已二刷，准备三刷。
这么多好评？抱歉，真的欣赏不来。整部片子色调都是很灰暗，灰暗的连人脸都看不清，所以出现的一些角色根本就分辨不清楚，看完了之后也就是最后一个镜头有记忆点，其余部分讲的断断续续，非常潦草，枪战动作戏也跟过家家似的，没有任何看点，反而看的昏昏欲睡，就这还能得天坛奖？！在我眼里也就值个两星！
印象里有几个天马行空的设计，但看到最后也没琢磨明白。
