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!
因为主演看的电影，故事情节和内容都没有共鸣
桌面电影的一次外延，算是桌面电影昙花一现后必然出现的尝试。片中出现了疫情，但不必然；还出现了智能音箱，也不必然；还出现了#MeToo，同样不必然。但种种元素堆合后成功质变，勾勒出极具有当下感的“科技让我们更遥远”的世相，我喜欢这一点，以及女主角geek风的大房子。运动镜头尤其是追逐镜头很带感，使用了潜伏类恐怖片的视角，还有效仿VLOG的倾向，最终呈现出特工片气质。反杀设计得不好，毕竟女主角不是真的特工，严肃变儿戏了，结尾还是该向桌面电影取取经。
中等成本的网大，舒舒服服把钱赚了，索德伯格还把摄影剪辑全包了。
上一次看这个导演的片子还是上一次那个极其拧巴无法get为佳作的性谎言录像带……
妮可基德曼不适合当露西鲍尔
这年头还有人信奉以身相许？啧啧啧，真是当代“僵尸”
电影就像一道奥数题，看一遍就明白了，就失去兴趣，看三遍还不明白，一样会失去兴趣。这个就恰到好处，第二遍看完，通透，完美。
有种女人的直觉真的很准，认定的事情就会强势的去证明，内心容不下糊涂，有些事情一旦错了就再也回不去了，这是当代独立女性最典型的代表，哪怕他丈夫刚帮她洗刷了罪名，仍然受不了内心的一丝昏暗
妮可基德曼的演技又一次让我惊叹，戏中戏演的完美无缺，她可以用现实的自己去演那个戏中聪明果断的露西也能在这个基础上演出戏中戏露西尔的喜剧，每一个都有各自分明的特色和层次。
Sorkin版的好莱坞往事，金牌一出手，还是好看的，自己的脑内小剧场也拍出来了吧，就不断觉得写得真细啊，但和the newsroom一样是主业线强爱情线跟不上，最后的发呆戏表演上并不能信服
旁人的回忆与当事者的表演，高频度的对白杂糅到了一起。总的来说，仍然还是纪录片的手段。
看什么都不知道。。。
這部因為有這群戲精 而精彩 JK西 哈維爾 貢獻出很精彩的表演 當然靈魂嬌點 妮可 真是一有她 整個抓住眼球 期待二封奧斯卡
很厉害的剧本，Aaron Sokin估计是当今对角色拿捏最好的编剧了，他总是能掌握很重要的小事，成为笔下角色的大事，在这个故事里，“想要一个家”的女演员，要平衡两个人之间、社会眼光、职场甚至是政治的一切来满足自己最大的愿望，多卑微，多执拗，是她要的太多吗？或许是，但他接受并也深爱着她，谁又能指责谁。最后的高潮戏很棒，一瞬间炸出我的眼泪，或许整个看来太着重角色心境，客观叙事相对较薄，但也渐渐形成导演自己的风格，演员会很爱他给出的空间，Nicole Kidman很有竞争性，应该会再拿下一座小金人。
HBO MAX流媒体线上，独立大导史蒂芬索德伯格执导，人工智能大战坏蛋，美式幽默+英式冷笑话。说到底这还是一个人和人斗的故事，人工智能的作用在于扩大和戏剧化影片中的矛盾。然而现实中就是人工智障。
索金正常发挥，不算特别出色。演员都挺好。想讲的东西太多，情景喜剧史，拉丁裔移民，女明星的婚姻，60年代麦卡锡主义，都揉在一块显得太乱了，重点也不突出。
精彩极了（为什么脑内哈维尔巴登和帕西诺的脸开始逐渐融为一体…
The worst thing you can do is being messy and boring at the same time. 在整个female narration 里最powerful的那一刻是rejection的那一刻，这是连Sorkin的逃不开的桎梏
最后那通电话也太索金了，这几年连续的致敬片看下来，有些疲劳，不过闪回还是好用。
