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!
挺好看的 就是没给wild at heart里的cage穿蛇皮衣 细节不够还原
一如既往的“如父如子”、“小偷家族”……延续之前解构家庭、血缘和亲情的主题，似乎新意不足。也许是中国的人贩子太多、惨无人伦的故事太多，我看着那个光明的结尾有点不敢相信。
是枝裕和过于天真和温柔，试图延续《小偷家族》的童话：在不完美的背德者之中寻找人性的真善美，用没有血缘关系边缘人相互取暖的余烬温暖观众。这一次，掮客、妓女、杀人犯和孤儿组成的小家庭，美则美矣，但着实无法洗刷浪漫化苦难的嫌疑，特别是结尾，每个角色都做出完美正义地抉择，圆满却难以服众。“谢谢你降生于这个世界”的宣言，不是宽慰，更是让作者留下了他对性别政治和堕胎议题微妙的态度。IU很美，摩天轮戏份可能是年度最浪漫场景之一。
是枝裕和失手了，剧本太差，硬造温情，引人不适。
虽然故事一直很平很平很平很平，但还是被黑灯瞎火的那句台词戳到了……可能这就是是枝裕和的魔力吧……
可是通片看完后，我在想，凯奇算不算被消费了呢？或者自己消费自己？
摩天轮那场戏很好。总体上还是过于直给了。还是喜欢之前日式小品的调调，清新又含蓄，简练却深长。
超烂超俗套的剧情片段有意为之，在最终完成成功的又一层嵌套的反转就完全是可接受的了
看到睡着。6/19电影节最后一天，闭幕电影。亲妈和掮客为孩子寻找收养人。在Event看觉得场地不错，但亲情片不是我喜欢的类型。画面配乐剧情演员一无所长。
从小偷家族到人贩家族。公路旅行的壳套哪儿都能用。不知道为什么，感觉有点偷懒，有点容易了。日式镜头和节奏也有点割裂，更韩国一些可能更真实吧。
至于宋康昊的影蒂，其实也就正常发挥，全片甚至没有高光戏份，IU起码还给了几段。结局就嗯...太理想化了。重复自己重复得也水准下降很多
如果说水土不服，那就是这个故事放在韩国真的太不自然了，而且姜东元和IU一个也没法给康昊子送戏，唯一能打的裴斗娜和康昊子几乎没有对手戏，饶是再多再美的镜头也就是个不合时宜。是枝裕和离开日本土壤就yw的水平，证明他终究做不了大师。
凯奇自己拍的很高兴，观众笑他很傻逼，这就够了，还要啥呢？（对了，债也还完了）
出乎意料的好。好几个片段是近期看电影笑得最大声的时候，同时还穿插着各种Meta元素和电影梗太过瘾了。真心希望尼古拉斯凯奇一切都好。
感觉他们都活得挺好的，一个人活着，一点都不需要救赎。
是枝裕和有个强项，能把小场景对手戏拍的既有张力又十分细腻，这次的洗车间、忽明忽暗的火车隧道、摩天轮，都是角色转变的关键场景，而且他听不懂韩语，拍摄时的注意力应该会降低听觉权重，提高视觉权重，也就是盯表演。但是演员们表演都很游离，宋康昊也没什么发挥空间，怎么拿的戛纳影帝？当然，故事内核还是很好。
11/6/2022 @ 電影中心。那些旅途中遇到的小確幸、分鏡和音樂等還是能讓我看到是出自是枝裕和，關燈感謝一幕有被打動一下，但完場後回想一下把販賣人口/棄嬰故事全員聖人化真的恰當嗎？(天台那幕爭辯真的黑人問號….)另外這個童話ending看到我一臉茫然….演員方面宋康昊正常發揮，姜楝元有驚喜，IU還真的以為黑臉=演技？
本以为，冲着情怀，这部片子应该也在7.6左右
不能说很烂，但各种烂梗，还是熟悉的配方啊。
故事其实还行，iu的表演有点木讷，倒是胖小孩可以拿个男配奖。流媒体版画质不高，等有好资源再刷，三星半吧
