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!
歌舞艺术表现力不错，男女主角的选择值得商榷。
corny but still kinda cute
甜甜的爱情喜剧 致敬了Sex and the City, How to lose a guy in 10 days, Love Actually
开场的长镜头很棒，场景调度还是斯皮尔伯格那个味道，后面的歌舞反倒显得有些过时和冗长，不是什么情绪都要用歌舞来表达的，男女主的人设也很不讨喜，完全可以说是全片悲剧的罪魁祸首，而他们本身却完全不觉得愧疚。虽然是莎士比亚的剧本底子，但根本不让人感觉到他们爱情的伟大和浪漫
本该交代清楚的文戏我实在没明白多少，该交代的信息量感觉都在舞戏的歌词里，难道都要靠猜吗
角色不够土，不像那个年代的，像是现代人强行生活在六十年代，怪怪的（大部分21世纪历史剧也给人这种感觉，很不适）；镜头非常流水化制作，就是视频论文里面讲解的那种运镜惹，就很没意思。而原版，放在任何标准下都是很独特、很好看的。五星给编舞、词曲。男女主外形真是不错演技也可以，不知道为什么会被其他评论认为不好。（跳舞如何就没注意，但是唱是不怎么行。有一个硬伤是玛利亚的嫂嫂悲痛的演技不逼真。有这么难演的复杂剧情，演员要仔细挑才可以。被枪打也不逼真。玛利亚走掉也不逼真。）虽然甚至拉片看到穿帮镜头但是还是想给五星。喜欢。😭
我真心觉得Jimmy O‘Yang is way cuter than Darren Barnet
剧情真的太恐怖了 1小时58分到2小时这短短两分钟间每一秒杨幂都在持续对我的大脑疯狂进行四字输送 对电影的总结就是“皇上 我要告发熹贵妃私通 秽乱后宫 罪不容诛！！！”除了剧情和演技无语 真是哪哪都好 歌曲 舞蹈 服装 摄影都是上乘之作2小时21分男主听到女主死了的演技 我只能说拉低评分 你的演技是一宗罪 这电影真是捧女二的吧 最好的演技演了相对最正常的角色 什么水土不服啊 美国的口碑这么好 说到底了还是得靠情怀 这剧情搁哪个国家大家不说句有病啊 都21世纪了 不改等于魔改 斯皮尔伯格你到底懂不懂啊！！！我不信你不懂
影片本身也就3星，但是这种超级大俗套能套在亚裔身上可是太难得了，可能大概有史以来第一次吧，所以加一星。作者很清楚亚裔男性在约会市场通常被黑的点。提到了北京和冬奥，片尾配乐有塑料二胡。
其实两版《西区故事》故事情节是“高度雷同”的，其他方面水平上也差别不大，为何豆瓣评分老版比新版高出许多，这未尝不是观众厚古薄今的心理偏好在起作用。而厚古薄今、厚外薄中这种打分偏见，可以说是见怪不怪了。
摄影和运镜都非常出色，但是剧情？？？这样的剧情放如今来看全是槽点。
故事太老套了..人物也扁平化，没有什么吸引人的地方..为什么男女主一眼就看对眼？为什么阿姨要和男主说女主被杀了？
遇到主角就跳过
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，
导演拍得不错，但是没有超越原版，文本上基本没改，视听上各玩各色。Gee, Officer Krupke这首歌的改编得不错，原版是当着警察的面唱的，这版里没有，是少年们的自说自话，更加突出了发生在他们身上的“社会性缺失”。主演表现基本失败。
技术性真棒，镜头把控老练，色彩绚丽合宜，故事趣味性差了点。
或许，《西区故事》本就不该获得电影上的成功，本就应该在舞台剧的框架内发光，精神内核的缺失换使它哪个导演都很难焕发第二春。
喜欢欧阳万城，演的不错。不容易啊，亚裔普通男性和白人女性的浪漫喜剧电影，也算是创造历史了。
但是咱也不至于给斯皮尔伯格两星招呼吧
优缺点和老版几乎一样，群舞段落华彩，但是剧情老套抓马。新版很明显有努力，想写出更好的故事、舞蹈和时代反思，但是这个故事大纲在这儿，“要么爱要么死”的观点难以服众，只能止于及格分了。男123和女12还是很养眼的~
