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!
女儿还无法学会体谅父母的哀愁痛苦与崩溃。父亲和母亲两人各自的一段哭泣，被生活的重担压垮。
妈妈：“如果没有你们俩我真的还有很多别的选择” so true
导演的才华够不上她的雄心，说实话，现在这群创作者似乎只会在某种框架下创作。那你写得再好，也散发着腐朽的八股文的气息。
感情表达很细腻，也有跟着落泪。不过好像只是在表达，意义并不深刻。结尾也有点突然结束，人物形象立的不是很饱满。（然后想想没有孩子应该不会这么愁吧，林嘉欣还是好美好美）
中国式家庭。没《瀑布》那样想得太多，却反而将情感表达得更加贴切。
林嘉欣还演的挺好的……出乎意料啊！有种看到自己变老的辛酸
动情足够，演技出彩带来的余味是有的，但围绕家庭情感、身份认同、爱与成长这些核心命题，在层次上仍欠缺一些厚重。这就导致在很多台词文本和表演节奏中设计感略突兀，印象深的像爸爸坐在楼梯上哭，妈妈受洗后不能烧纸钱妹妹的发问，还有妹妹那句you know mammy loves you, right。这就显示出为什么杨德昌的台词能成为经典，因为他不光有设计，还有盛放设计的想象空间，感觉阮凤仪似乎是想学，但没学来。
喜欢对女性间那种涓涓细流般的绵密情感有着细语般的 刻画，喜欢母女间温柔、明媚又直率的爱。非常细腻之余却没有刻意为之的矫揉。时间线被设定在于此刻相似却有距离的地方。没有那种必须为此刻宏大的历史记录点滴的逼切愿望，这些是可爱的部分。小女孩没有杂念，演得很好。
「這個世界上我最不想成為的人就是我的母親，因為她的恐懼會成為我的恐懼，而她的軟弱會使我軟弱。」有時候我們會一直想著自己最不想成為的那個人，但當你越想遠離，你就離它越近。當你試著去問自己他不討你喜歡的原因是什麼，會發現這種抗拒是不是源自於你下意識認同自己與他不可避免的、連體的鏡像關係。
这个片子给我一个深刻的道理就是 没想好千万不要生小孩 否则会像女主那样 明明自己生病还差点被女儿气死 青春期的少男少女真的讲话气死人 他们待在固有的认知圈子里 完全出不去 讲不听 女主会癌症多半跟照顾小孩有关 老公还不在身边 那更加 难怪要组个家庭再生小孩 因为一个人是完全搞不定一个小孩的
情感碰撞激烈到莫名其妙。 母亲承受着生理和心理双重痛苦，还要打理一家人的生活，大女儿偏偏最恨这个处处对她照顾有佳的妈妈，叛逆期也不是这种叛逆法好嘛？天天恨母亲为什么从美国回来为什么情绪消极低落，拜托你妈得了重病好嘛？我从一开始看老师体罚小姑娘气的要死到后面爸爸打她恨不得冲进去帮着打是为什么？情感铺垫太过单薄，情绪冲突又太过火，这电影就是靠虐一位母亲来传达什么人生理念吗？
“她比你更想去美国” 适应了张扬个性和广阔天地，再回来适应强硬规则和集体融合，夹在中间的一代
有那么一丢丢李安早期的感觉，但总觉得还是差一口气，不过很喜欢这些年港台社会人文主题的一些电影，因为咱国产电影几乎很少拍，或者说是没市场、没投资、没法拍。
某几场戏拍得不错，结尾有点仓促。整体没什么毛病。居然还是导演处女作品，希望越来越好吧。
热锅上的家庭，揭示出从大环境到小家庭的系统兼容问题，启发疗愈，建议阖家观看，各得其所。
有几段比描写当下疫情的《瀑布》更加贴近现实，很喜欢这种描写家庭的现实主义作品，各种情绪写得挺好，女性视角非常细腻，但是一些铺垫没有处理完，剧本的小小遗憾。
“我只是希望她能做到更好” “那如果这已经是她能做到的最好呢”
是有一种我懂，但是我也不知道如何处理的状态。这可能就是生活上的无解在电影里依旧无解。另外，我想说他们新店的家和隔壁《瀑布》母女搬的家好像。
感觉讲了好多，回过头看又什么也没讲。如果电影和生活一样，那谁还会想去看电影呀，过生活就好啦。
叛逆期的孩子，环境改变后无法融入新的地方。与母亲的别扭和冲突只有等着长大才发现自己的任性不懂事。
