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!
牛仔大爷太老了，他刚一出场我都不相信自己的眼睛，全片充满了烈士暮年的感觉，也象征着牛仔精神的没落。
这个男人太会讲故事了，没有那种极致又悲惨的结局，但更好地刻画了墨西哥的现实社会，会推荐
92岁英雄迟暮的克林特·伊斯特伍德还在依然当镖客,泡老奶奶。
6.6实在有点低！很温馨，很治愈的影片，令人回味！
公路 牛仔 野马 老爷子的浪漫 91岁高龄的他接过了小男孩送来的勇气macho 这就是给老爷子无论电影还是现实最好的礼物
东木桑已经91岁高龄。而今识得愁滋味，却道天凉好个秋。全片只有和13岁少年的互相治愈互相救赎。
东木老爷子还是那么cowboy
一个老人教会旁人如何温柔地看待老去的故事。
只能用无趣来形容了。。。。全程真的很无趣很没意思，感觉是在浪费时间，还好没有去电影院看。。。
九十而随心所欲，拍电影终于不再是为了拍电影。
《廊桥遗梦》中的东木老爷子确确实实有其独特的男人魅力，但本片中还不断有女人倒贴就多少有些他想展现自己不服老的意味了。
09.23.21 Respect, Eastwood in his 90s, make me think of the the former Cap America. Whole life macho, serene eternity is all that cry for.
东木高估了自己对于女人男人以及马和动物的魅力，令影片悬于梦想脱离现实的理想主义
看着91的老爷子，看到了温和，看到了一份执着，不打五星心里过不去！
前两天我看了一条关于国产电影的评论。意思差不多是喜剧恐怖片另外特别说了国产片都要低人一等。正好我昨天看了《扬名立万》和《误杀1》。两部都是国产片，有一部是翻拍。两部都7分以上（20222.2.8豆瓣评分），而《哭泣的男人》6分（时间同上）。咱们不要拘泥于小数点后。我真心请问，国产片在演技，设计，剧本，运镜，对白，连贯性，观赏性甚至调色真的低人一等吗？我觉得没错，国产电影就是低人一等，凭什么上述两部电影7分，《哭泣的男人》6分？而我因为豆瓣5星规则我打4星，平均下来我打8分。认识到差距才能进步，我不知道国产电影有多用力，也不知道好莱坞电影多不用力。事实是：国产电影确实低人一等。求骂求草，不要吝你卑鄙的语言，来吧。
东木老爷子还真是不闲着，拍完骡子又搞这么一出没什么剧情的片子，一老一小一鸡走一路，还找了个墨西哥娘们在无名小镇安了家
够潦草，也够敷衍，估计东木的精力也的确无法保证影片的高质量了，自然规律无法避免。
情节偏简单，小男主演技也青涩，老爷子精神矍铄
这东西只有你九十岁能拍，七十岁你还有一个过来人的说教，现在只有一个人的本质。
不知什么时候开始叫东木的，但是我还是喜欢克林特伊斯特伍德这个名字，而且也没觉得拗口，这部片子没有想象中的好看，也可能是期待值太高了，毕竟这个岁数了每次都在当他的最后一部电影看！之前的《骡子》还是不错的！期待这位老牛仔继续拍下去。。。
