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!
像一个血腥疯狂的梦境，适合当噩梦素材，也适合做个横版恐怖游戏
无序中显现有序，丑恶中浮现美丽，一部十分疯狂且优秀的幻想之作
疯神要想用特效做出来，说再过50年也不为过，可惜就是没讲啥东西……叙事很混乱，其实我看一半就看不下去了
随便剪出来一段，就是个绝佳的短片，这波表现主义赢麻了
ps：导演是不是把自己的噩梦拍出来了
7分。生与死轮回不止，生命更迭的圣经故事。相当阴间的定格动画。无对白，全靠配乐烘托氛围，多年制作，道具细节很强。我看不懂但我大受震撼。
没完全看懂不敢乱讲。单从画面和技术角度看是真的“封神”了！实拍和定格结合流畅，场景、人物、怪物的设计十分出彩，视效推到顶点，脑洞大的惊人，看完有种说不出的诡异和怪诞，好像看懂了一些又好像完全没明白。
出色的美术和令人严重不适的重口味混合着似是而非不知所云的故事……不推荐，除非口味极重，是真的生理不适到反胃。
剧情没看懂，看评论，各有各的理解。但是确实是邪典片中的极致了。道具做得真好，技术是真到位。但是这部片子表达不清的剧情，还有令人不适的话，估计对于很多人来说，是一个无需观看的片子。
我看不懂但我大受震撼。什么样的人才能想象出这种画面和表现方式呢，真牛啊
梦穿过罅隙蜉蝣在现实的触须之上。勇敢至极的想象力，仿佛一场奇观，意义在这个世界已经丧失了意义。何等的疯，何等的神。
黑石碑、文明、毁灭、80～90年代B级恐怖片的复古质感，我看不懂，但我大受震撼。
装备的像前苏联潜水员的外星人被解刨后肚子里的异形婴儿被榨汁磨成了金粉撒向魔镜后，宇宙大爆炸，然后诞生了生命……我看到的是这个内容吗？看过了似乎又没看过系列#
电影结尾写着Munich Agreement为英国及联盟换来时间备战，就像高赞说的—导演脑中的片名其实是<张伯伦: 被误解的英雄>。讽刺的是，1938年英法德意搞定了Settlement of the Czechoslovak ，把Sudetenland拱手相让给德国，而捷克只能任人宰割。
铁叔、荞麦、巴比伦柏林女主、Jannis、Jessica唐顿庄园小女儿，算众星云集了，历史层面其实展现得还是一般（之前个人论文研究的刚好是这段时期），为主演们多加一星
张伯伦对英国肯定是贡献巨大，看看皇家空军在38年秋季的战备细节，就会知道如果战争提前一年在38年秋季就爆发的话，英国真的很难扛下来，道丁的防御体系根本来不及建成，即便拖到39年秋季开战，若没有战争之初一直到第二年敦刻尔克战前那大半年的phony war的继续拖延，英国要应付BOB仍然很艰难，40年下半年的BOB都扛得那么难，试想想提早两年？德国空军经过了西班牙内战的演练，皇家空军有什么（喷火38年8月才刚入役，更别提对C&R体系至关重要的CH和CHL雷达站建设进度）？这种为国家利益牺牲个人名誉的人是很难做的。再加上一战的惨痛阴影笼罩着他们这一辈人的记忆，对再一次大战争爆发重蹈覆辙的恐惧是完全可以理解的。一国首相首要关切的自然是本国利益和存亡。
邪典美术范例参考
然而表达`叙事都过于玄乎，又没有《迷墙》的音乐性带来的流畅感，导致整体观感属于不喝酒看不进去，喝多了看容易吐
很爽的一次噩梦参观体验，冲着30年再加一星
2.片尾的那个矮子怪人通过望远镜看到的是蘑菇云，也许这象征了最能够异化人类的也许就是人类自身的行为。
