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!
男生唱衰的风格我从海边的曼彻斯特开始就领教过。但是这不片子还是再次打动了我。不得不夸Apple TV+的眼光: 无论是颁奖季大热的健听女孩，艾美奖的垂青新闻主播，足球教练，还是最近的健身教练，都在用独特的视角剖析你最熟悉的陌生人。当男主告白失败在车里提不起精神的场景，以及男主打开女主跟他告别时送的卡片，上面写的为自己做点什么的纸条，深深触动了我，也升华了影片的内涵。如果今年一定要推荐的影片，我为这部投一票。
一个男孩帮助有自闭症抑郁症母女 最后收获友情 独自成长的故事 整体中规中矩 蛮轻松 没有槽点 也没有惊喜
两个好的地方：胭脂扣两人穿着戏服说现实的台词，间离感让人不知是哪段戏；阿Ben和女主分手，如果很多地方像这样淡化，剧情也不至于紧绷吧。ps：没想到杨祐宁在这里还不错，一点都不油腻。
后3/1有些分神,但总体很喜欢,尤其喜欢里面的音乐。男女主chemistry很有诶 and I like a boy who is also 22 years old.
看之前和同事讨论过，以现在的时局和梅艳芳的声誉来看，影片只能拍成中规中矩的成长史，可是就以可拍的内容来说，导演和编剧的贡献也是微乎其微，魅力在于梅艳芳本身的光环。虽然着力凸显了她的反叛和孤独，但流水的剧情并为帮助不了解她的人体会她的处境和心情。她的“奇装异服”、她唱《坏女孩》等所遭遇的盛赞和非议、躲在泰国时的心情（这段拍的像是去寻找灵魂的旅行）、参与或策划各种社会活动时的个人与时代背景，以及比较重头的她和张国荣的友情，皆没有形成内在的情感力量。
想象一下梅艳芳上《艺术人生》，本片就是这样平白而无趣。倒是众多男演员，林家栋、白只、刘俊谦、中岛步（尖叫！！！），一字排开，各展所长，颇有可观之处。衬得女主演戏就是虚张声势、底气不足。不过说到底，巨星是天生的，能演好巨星的，也定然不是泛泛之辈。譬如张曼玉，譬如拉米·马雷克。
电影本身可能不值得满分，但是梅姐本人太值得。
丰富的细节，有些事情，还是得等相关人物不在才能放开了拍吧
感谢这让传奇延续的光影。在中国拍传记电影需要顶多大压力，有多大勇气，我们都懂。
很文艺的片子。成年人的世界不是想做什么就做什么。在当下伤害每个人的决定可能是更妥帖的。男主不应该在20something的年纪被卷入到女主围绕着自闭症女儿的生活中。导演好有才！又会写又会演！
各方面都非常不自然。张国荣这个演员是大败笔
三星劇本+一星情懷與王丹妮加分。只是記記梅姐的生平，將現實與電影堆在一起，大堆頭明星電影，美指、服裝也好睇，奈何故事剪到支離破碎，我期待看四小時或七小時的初版，有些重要的場口沒了。例如是哥哥的軼事，黃家駒的出現都沒了。電影公司將心血敗壞了，荔園，我小時候去過門口，利舞台我出世時已沒了。以前的香港很美，現在是香港有難時，仍然有受梅姐恩惠的人站出來。我愛香港
这部影片将梅艳芳精神传达的很到位，很多经典的话和场面都在影片中都有重现，不管看多少次，内心都是倍受触动。
恰如其分的暧昧，spend it on youself。
这根本不算电影，哥哥出殡那段我真的好后悔看这个电影 无底线的 消费情怀，转镜头转的莫名其妙 突然给一个大镜搞得我分不清我是不是在看旅游广告 真的 消费情怀
少见的看到描述一个大男孩细腻感情的片子。影片开头结尾呼应了，不同的是这次长大后男孩的告白带来的不仅是心碎与伤痛，更有成长与释然 Enjoy at your twenties&Spend it on yourself是女主对他最诚挚的祝福
那首熟悉的《夕阳之歌》一响起，眼泪就不自觉地落了下来。以前觉得没办法体会花大价钱去看演唱会的人，现在觉得如果有喜欢的偶像，一定要去看一次她的演唱会。
就一个年轻打工男孩爱上有点自闭女孩的还被第一任老公甩了的妈妈，照顾孩子，爱上妈妈，虽然是挺暖心的故事，但是实在无聊
国内拍传记电影注定是吃力不讨好的事，从还原梅姐一生的事业和情感的角度来说，本片的完成度值得肯定，王丹妮的表演气场也OK，略遗憾的就是张国荣的选角。最后，穿插的歌曲和画面真的不断让人泪目！
恰如其分的暧昧，spend it on youself。
