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!
前半段手法又飞又浪漫，魏玛共和国时期的柏林，战后的享乐主义、疯狂而绝望的气息充斥着那个五彩斑斓的地狱，然而在重复数次致敬布列松的“决定性瞬间”之后，叙事方式从跳脱变成线性，走向偶然中的必然结局。Fabian只想书写过去和现在，和所有人一样想竭力在时代洪流中的无序和虚无感中抓住一些确定性，对于他来说“生活是最有趣的工作”，这一点很对。最后，点名要求汤姆希林能够出现在《巴比伦柏林》里哈哈。
很喜欢，从开头的长镜头就开始喜欢，之后，画幅设计、充满怀旧感的胶片，一幅德国浮世绘悦然眼前。一个小人物也可窥见大历史，风雨欲来前的社会终究无能为力，就像小人物湮没水中，波涛继续翻涌，仿佛他从未存在。
完成了一个过渡篇应有的所有任务，惊艳的点有栗花落香奈乎和胡蝶家的故事，炭治郎撩妹，（无惨女装）。
很轻松的剧情，但是不无聊，看完让人更期待续集了！
饿了偷东西跳舞那段，很可爱耶。法比安，法比安。
两天前看的，那时豆瓣因为没认证身份不能标记。我恨豆瓣
我真的太喜欢这部电影了！我要把我所有的偏爱都给你！
“我们重新再认识一次吧，那也许是新的开始。”
看完需要缓一缓的电影，一股堵在心口，却无法拆解的情绪，混合着时代，越发显得个体的渺小
或许是预算所限，导演着眼于从美学形式手段去呈现魏玛末期“疯魔”和前卫，布莱希特式间离效果也大量引入，但手持、无人机镜头无序滥用，又在瓦解这种时代幻灭感。就和这场爱情一样，终究是烟花一场。 @望京电影资料馆
看不得这种揪心的东西
除了无限列车是真的剧场版，其他3个TV版(包括这部)，都是从TV版里各自挑了5集剪出来的。
类1984世界里的古典爱情和找不到出口的人们，太好看了太好看了
这周还挺有意义，把鬼灭的漫画全都看完了，哭死，真的哭死。很久没有这么纯粹地受到感动了。想要有能力守护别人，也希望能被人真心守护。
太有文学性的电影有时候并不是不爱看，是比较难看懂，即使喜欢也很难准确说出它的好。当然水平不足是我自己的问题。
理想主义遇到错误的时代，还是错误的时代孕育了理想主义
（看到第一眼就觉得会再看一遍又一遍，写得真好啊，居然没有原著可看，使人痛苦。啊！难受。
这部电影让我想到了汉娜霍希的《用达达餐刀剖开德国最后的魏玛啤酒肚文化纪元》，无论是内容，还是形式。
这个世界如同人生一样，重构然后打破，再重构。再打破
很久没看这个打开才知道是看过的内容，看评论才知道是21-26的合集哈哈，没关系正好回忆一下
