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!

嘤嘤嘤，我太喜欢柱们了，每一个都好赞，我好想看无限列车
有什么说的呢？
补记。态度太差了，这TM剧集里有啊 ，太会圈钱了。
一场绚丽的冒险，一场时代的落幕，一种精神的永垂不朽
来自魏玛共和国的人生切片。同时也是古典和现代，视觉与叙事风格的拼贴。青年知识分子的彷徨、窘迫和小小的浪漫。一点点命运感、仪式感（“十分钟之后，他的爱人将会出现”）和悲剧性（最后被意外击沉），其实这或许是一种创作者的手下留情：如不在意外中被击沉，就将在时代中被击沉。
救命，我刀我自己。
4.5星。Old time的优雅和decadent. 制作极其精良，一众演员都很出色。
为什么物质和精神总是彼此远离，当你得到了一切，你总是还想得到一点新的什么；当你失去了一切，你又有什么害怕失去呢？洪水冲过来的时候，留下的一切都会被卷走。
时间有点太长，但其实没啥废话，包括各种穿插纪录片也挺恰到好处。本来以为是小年轻穷开心故事（虽然其实也差不多）似乎有些故意的魔幻“穿帮”比如画室外故意拍了地上的Stolpersteine“绊脚石”。基友家豪宅外景是密斯的Lemke Haus，内景似乎不是，但也很好看
终于又看到这样的电影，哭了但心里开心多了。舞台独白，朋友自杀却留信劝他写作，电话互诉衷肠。不喜欢这个结局，但他不必再看另一场战争了。
理想主义遇到错误的时代，还是错误的时代孕育了理想主义
看法比安穿梭在到处灯红酒绿的人间地狱，甩不掉的监控者藏匿各处随时现身，乱世中的博士学位像一张白纸、甚至无法使他独善其身，如何能不感同身受他的烦躁不安，更别提那位误以为论文被拒而自杀身亡的拉布德如此令人心惊。直接摄影的手法加剧了影像的动荡观感，观看时像在法比安身后跟着他走，他的坚守和孤独、纯粹与真挚因此唤起许多的共情。于是当一切戛然而止时，这些破碎、不安才会具有如此的冲击力，我仿佛看到世界的碎片缀满眼前。没有好事发生的现实世界如同这部电影，从头到尾充满着郁闷。

却被各种尘世的纷扰冲散。 文青的爱情被失业、资本、谎言冲散，挚友间接被政治扼杀，但还好，这颗道德、体面、善良的心未被真正的地狱-二战摧毁前就结束。
各种现代主义表现方式的杂糅，令人眼花缭乱却对人物塑造没啥实质推动。全片最精彩的就是来自原著小说的旁白了，使观众一窥原作的高度文学性。另外，镜头晃得叫人想吐，过多的失序败坏了美感，只让我觉得摄像师手抖得厉害，越发感到固定机位和轨道摄像的可贵。

时时刻刻都在出现微微的不安，
三十年代德国一个小知识分子的混乱生活。超闷。
白色恐怖年代下政治性抑郁的文科博士。还是看到了很动人的爱，即便捧着一颗破碎的心到处游走最后还是会去爱。也看到极权统治对人的异化，战争前是这个样子的吗？开始了深深的忧虑…
