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!
跟上世纪的那版完全不一样。可以看。上世纪那版进入主线的时间还长。
神奇女侠实在不适合这样的角色，一度觉着她会死而复生，锤爆渣男。
02/21 九洲IMAX 剧情整合过多，角色性格突然都不鲜明了，色情女作家塞勒姆太太多可爱啊，在那些代表生殖崇拜的公羊头斯芬克斯中雀跃，多美好的场景。然而全没了，卡纳克都没了，只剩阿布辛贝，女作家变女同志，我真不知道哪个更ZZ正确一些。波罗探长，为有色人种平权全靠你了！
画面和音乐超美。故事上，氛围烘托不错，但作为悬疑片，几乎从电影的三分之一处就完全猜到结尾，尤其给手帕的特写实在太过刻意。而且最后的揭秘除了没有惊喜感，对于逻辑推理的演绎也实在是有些过于简单。比如说指出是表哥去撬开了神庙大石头，hello？请问男主角是有天眼吗？表哥居然还当场就认了，实在是有些侮辱观众。
爱会使人做出鲁莽的行为，终于憋着把这个经典故事看完了，或许应该看老版的……
为什么要给波洛加这么多无聊的东西？又是种族，又是同性，又是感情戏。喜欢波洛不代表我会对他的胡子感兴趣。彼得·乌斯蒂诺夫的版本我不知道看了多少遍，可以说看的越多就越讨厌这个版本。“恶心，恶心呐！”还有就是，我觉得盖尔·加朵不适合演琳内特。
经常出现莫名其妙的长镜头，感觉就是学韦斯安德森又学不会，除了风景好简直一无是处。
为什么疫情后的电影都做这么油腻，和波洛莫名其妙的感情戏一样反胃，肯爵士魔改你妈呢，调色像屎一样生怕不知道这是埃及，从头到尾泡在荷尔蒙里面，肯爵士把自己搞的像个美国土大款兴冲冲买了版权大布景大明星跟着拍。
肯尼斯布拉纳以强烈的个人风格，以爱为主题，重新讲述了这起谋杀案。从小说中人性复杂的群像，对于女性角色丰富情感细腻的刻画，转为把焦点落在"爱如何令人堕落成魔"。用苦涩的爵士乐，浓郁狂野的视觉效果，烘托了爱与死的激情与恐惧。但是，林内特这个角色被弱化，使得整个故事失去了原本的魅力。
肯尼斯布拉纳的舞台剧作者风格与阿加莎克里斯蒂的密室推理着实不对付。如何改编一部全世界都知道凶手是谁的作品是一个难题，布拉纳的做法是情感冲突去掩盖推理。只要每五分钟提一下“爱情”，就没有人会认为这是悬疑片。
所以如果导演当戏霸，这戏很大可能好不了。一桩谋杀案件，侦探的戏份最多？那人物还能立得住伐啦，推理还可能细腻信服伐啦，都变得次要了…所以重点都错了。演员其实都还不错的，但戏没出来，是导演没调教好，就服化道还过得去。（原著党就更跳脚了，这完全不是阿婆笔下的波洛）
平平无奇且冗长的两个小时，最震惊我的是，女同性恋那段好像没有任何删改，台词翻译好像也没动。
这改编得没有想象中好看。给波洛加了感情戏，人设和原著也有点偏差，感觉波洛的聪明、幽默、绅士没有展现得淋漓尽致。整个就是观光宣传片，景色更美。剧情推进比较慢，后面案件发生后有一种草草收尾的感觉。留下的印象就是，只有一具具尸体的出现，没有突出人物关系的矛盾，死得无关痛痒似的。节奏太平缓了，没有掀起惊涛骇浪。
「Corinthians had it wrong on every point. Love isn't patient or kind. It envies and boasts and doesn't care who gets mowed down. It angers, it is irritable, it keeps record of every transgression against it, and good god, it fails. Sure as a face ages, love fails.」
所以 就当尼罗河旅游观光片来看看 满屏金色阳光照在狮身人面像上时 对自由的向往 呼之欲出
警惕前任，无论爱还是不爱，前任在眼前，身心有危险。
说实话，vhs这个形式我是很喜欢的，然后论邪典和血腥也比较到位了，总体满意
布拉纳大哥 我求你回剧院吧 不要祸害克里斯蒂了 本来东快马马虎虎不算原著的话还是可以的。 你这又是干什么呢 从任何角度来看都无意义 你那开局也太生硬了
整体感觉偏无聊，主线故事和第4个故事都挺拉的，故事3一开始不吸引我但结尾人性的叩问有一丝触动。1、2俗套但氛围佳，就是2的鬼显灵有实体后恐怖感骤减，瞬间丧尸片既视感而没有那种毛毛的感觉了。
感觉把东方快车受到的批评点全部反过来编，然后拍得更难看了
