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!
看得出来有用心和努力，但终归了欠了一点火候，最大的问题是让观众全程几乎没有代入感，太生硬和干瘪了
「制度之下」类型的电影，这种电影类型都有一个环境大前提，人物需要在环境中不断角力来完成目的，要素就是：一种制度、选择、牺牲，电影最终好不好看也大概率取决于这三点。《不速之客》做得还不错，多种叙事和反转看得就是个爽，把「考验人性」、「意外与惊喜」的点营造的都很规整，这考研的可不单单是做电影的剪辑，内在的设定更重要，比如圆形筒⼦楼暗示了故事结构，开始是个小圆，因为信息有限，后期变成⼀个环套着另⼀个环，直至最后的拼图完成。故事线也是精巧，很多细节可以琢磨，值得二刷。
这种环形结构的电影，重在结构而不是反转，反转太多显得刻意，而且虎头蛇尾了
3.5。如果这故事顺序讲就没太大意思了，这样讲就还挺不错~最大问题可能是有点跟不上时代。残疾小孩乞讨这个，感觉是好多年前的事，如今时代变了，手机支付时代，残疾小孩乞讨感觉没有了……要不把年代提前，送外卖的改成送快递~
小成本好片，各种反转，演技不差，人贩子太可恶了，社会上各种阴暗故事点到为止。
窗外是“阳光”，被血色笼罩。屋里是罪恶，不请自来又像如约而至。罪恶之间的博弈早已拍的一清二楚，一定要最后揭晓。
完成度非常高了，而且成片的多视角的来回时间线叙事使用的这很到位，但是这个底确实不够味道，前面的剧情在制造层层上升的紧张气氛，最后的底收在外卖小哥上实在对不起前面，感觉让人一泄如注，成为全片的命门，否则就是更好的佳作了，看来编剧编到这里也是黔驴技穷了。另外就是范伟的演出实在很棒。
不知道谁给了个喜剧的标签？这是喜剧吗？完全的悬疑嘛。这个配乐，我的天，大晚上看，真的挺惨人，，，醉了。
虽然是没花钱看的，但电影确实没有六十分，说是新人导演，看来还需要多锻炼，都是不错的演员，片子还是不推荐，窦骁从山楂树到现在这么多年了，演技还是没啥进步！除了最后那段，其他时间都是恍恍惚惚的，不知道在干嘛？！片子虽然情节一直在反转，但是节奏偏慢，看的有点困，无聊的时候只能喝水…还有看表…结局确实没想到…但是感觉也没娱乐到我…笑点基本我都没感觉…节奏有点像话剧…
这种玩非线性叙事的国产悬疑喜剧，这两年处女作可真不少。
点映场。又是一个借多线叙事手法，把普通的故事搞悬疑搞复杂。演技在线，编剧差点意思。
被范伟和张颂文吸引来看的，看完后只想套用片中一句台词评价：“破台词，破镜头，破反转，破表演”。
剧本还行，以每个人为主线回溯事件，拼凑出全部事件，但是节奏不太对，要剪成盖里奇早年那种快剪风格可能商业度能高一些
悬疑和小品融合的有点奇怪 笑点没那么好笑悬疑感制造的也没那么紧张
没什么太大意思，故事靠巧合推动。节奏看起来快，但实际上无意义的废剧情废台词挺多。表演也就那样，前期故弄玄虚的地方挺多，最后感觉就是不过尔尔。
可惜了，市场现状是悬疑必须搭上喜剧才能卖。
商业类型十足，悬念感、戏剧性、喜剧性兼具，但徒有形式罢了。
彪叔像一根定海神针，牢牢的稳着整体节奏，这种角色感觉都不需要使劲就比张颂文的“刻意”来的更有功力了，从演技上窦骁绝对要感谢老爷子带得好，所有演员在这种黑色幽默的彪叔营造的调性下，都特别合适，没什么太大的问题
剧本很扎实，逻辑上也没毛病，这么小的空间这么几个人靠时间差折腾出了无限遐想确实挺有活。
儿童拐卖这种情节是能纯用来给主创们炫技的？
