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!
片尾曲竟然是阿jer献声的，好听!
国语配音对表演效果影响挺大的，不知有无原声版。择开配音的话君如姐和少年、青年男主的表演都可圈可点。少年青年演员的切换，从长相到表演堪称无缝衔接，至片尾我都还在疑惑到底有没有换演员。
粤语版点映场。这种题材的人物传记片真的很好哭（当然笑点也不少），又正逢奥运年，过两天残奥会就要开幕了，这个时间点看这部片子简直不能更应景了！相比起一个天生残疾的小子从走路都不会到短跑世界冠军甚至屡次打破世界纪录的励志成长过程，运动员比赛之外的日常境遇更令人唏嘘，没钱只能接广告，拍广告又影响训练，联系最近吃的不少运动员瓜真是唉，以及即使到现在依然有不少运动员（更何况残疾运动员）退役后日子艰难唉。至于影片刻意拔高渲染的母爱部分，固然感人，但削弱了前述那些更有社会意义的情节，同理还有中文片名，明明英文名叫zero to hero，中文名难道是为了凸显吴君如？毕竟是全片最大的咖？不过三姑演得是真的好，三位不同年龄段的男主也演得非常好（找到那么像的三个人真是神了），片尾真人照片发现竟然比演员还帅hhh
前半部分剧情的推动就如同画面滤镜一般童话，站起来靠逼、跑起来靠天赋，零到英雄的过程貌似只是“进度条”的功劳。后半部分家庭矛盾激化反而更点出“难”，整体来说就及格。这送去奥斯卡岂不被人当笑话。
真实事件改编，没有看过《12秒58》，单纯从这部来说，打6分，这6分属于电影体现出来的价值观反思角度，因为故事本身已经大于编剧、拍摄技术和制作水平，制作瑕疵不提也罢，而正值国家残奥队征战东京残奥会这个时候，显得意义重大。 台词说“运动员的荣耀只是瞬息”，觉得莫名悲伤，更悲伤的恐怕是那些没有取得名次但突破了极限的那些运动员们吧，尤其是残疾运动员。 电影里“同工同酬”所指的当然不仅仅是表层的金钱奖励，更深层的所指我想应该是国民的价值观——我们是不是真的永远记得这些为国家争过光的运动员们，或许那才是金牌的意义吧。
有被感动到，虽然有些线粗糙有些线后面丢掉了。看的时候会想到点五步，感觉在很多暗暗的节点都有呼应。能看到这么多香港年轻人，真好。
题材用了残奥会冠军的故事，也点到了残疾运动员以及他们家人的心酸和社会的反应，不过也就点到为止，没有深挖。可以看出电影重点不在这里。
作為運動電影，本片毫無體育精神或勵志成份；作為反映現實的社會性電影，結局以高潮作結似乎又太摸題不清。對於蘇媽媽，兒子跑步代表金錢和未來；但對於（電影中的）蘇樺偉，跑步的意義是模糊的。故事對運動員的了解流於表面，吳君如也過份搶戲，或者電影應該改名《神奇小子的媽媽》。（因運動員妹妹說有些位置準確捕捉到運動員心理而加一星）
吴君如真的特别有母亲味儿，电影差点火候，差在哪儿也不知道，总觉得那个情绪既不是克制，也不是奔放，就是差着一口气儿。但也确实是个不错的电影。
“望阿妈，set， go!”
再，「點解有條路甘好，你都吾去行？」到「你是天生殘疾，沒人怪你，都是怪我(做阿媽的)」。上一代人吃的苦，造就他們不可被挑戰的姿態，重重陰霾籠罩在這一代人頭上，就問你感到窒息沒有？這是尹志文在點破，即可見，他身為導演，和監製吳君如的拉扯關係。又剛好，吳的老公，就是《奪冠》的導演。
中规中矩，吴君如发挥稳定，胜在真实的人物做支撑好很多。
全片笼罩在哀伤幽怨的氛围里，很多情节过渡较生硬。总觉得还差点意思。2021.09.06
世界上永远不可能同工同酬 永远参差不齐 与其用力哭泣 不如用力奔跑 on your mark ,set Go
比想象中好。香港的编剧还是很不错的，有几场重场戏的台词非常值得学习。想到《超越》，两者都是体育题材商业片，区别就在于这个片有真情实感，有真实的矛盾与冲突。这会让人忘记这其实是一部商业片。
要素很多 残障+体育竞技+亲情 完成得都还可以 演员很棒
这表面上看是我们的吴君如自编自导自演的【喜剧之王】，但其实是吴君如版本的《阿甘正传》
（2021.8.29）两星半，其实是《神奇小子的妈妈》。东亚窒息母爱在残疾运动员身上的极致体现，感动一直上不去，总有哪里觉得别扭。（但是可能人物原型如此，所以也不好说啥。
还可以，虽然有点地方有点像公益广告，但是基本上还是呈现出了温暖且残酷，现实且有力量的效果。吴君如演妈妈真的永远自带催泪buff。男主每每奔跑起来我都鼻酸，开始思考跑步这件事到底意味着什么：人类与时空作斗争，与自己作斗争，与命运作斗争。以及也是一个不错的粤语区影像，香港总是能让我想起小时候的广州。
感觉还行，嗯。还算不错吧。
