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!
轻松的无脑电影，打发时间的可以看看~文化背景不同，实在不理解执念于毕业舞会这个东西~瘦下来的女主总是让我想到Adele，只是她的嘴有点歪~
我还以为最后Tiffany就算不进监狱也会身败名裂，结果竟然是冰释前嫌。这伏笔还不如不埋。
居然用了ben platt的grow as we go！！！！这是什么梦幻联动！！！ben温柔 的声音一出来，就想哭
适合周末夜晚，一瞬间回到20年前和朋友一起看青春爱情电影的感觉。很好。
3.5，可怜love victor成了没有性格的工具人
多少年了老美的校园青春剧还是好看啊！一贯的happy ending，直接带着观众重返千禧年哈哈
作为喜剧电影，没有尿点，也没多少尬点。
剧情真的不行，三颗星全部是给歌舞成分的。让人非常怀念8、9年前的美式校园青春电影。
热热闹闹的写给千禧年的情书 就是落款部分写着写着笔没水儿了
你真正需要什么，你真正拥有什么？你要成为怎样的人？女主是昏迷20年醒来还没毕业，有的人是浑浑噩噩一直没有真正毕业。
这很有趣，轻松，有点情感，有点明显，但像这样的电影不是这样的 一切都需要。
剧情还蛮老套，基本能让人猜出下一步的所有剧情。但其中我觉得也是嘲讽了一下当下的矫枉过正😂😂最后看到女主的好朋友也在毕业典礼上跳起啦啦操的时候竟然有点感动
yes！下饭喜剧🙆 zoe来演妈妈了哈哈哈 ps致敬布兰妮绝妙呀
一般般 造成那么大的伤害 竟然一点处罚都没有还活得那么好
Are you from Syria?
很有千禧年的感觉；女主所作所为都能理解，毕竟心理年龄还是17岁，但是为什么当年的死对头怎么还那么幼稚哇…
女主最近出櫃了hhh這個電影可愛程度加倍！
忽略那点亲情这就是部悬疑爱情片啊 设计很好 虽然没我那种大吃一惊的反转 但包袱引人入胜最后又合情合理 两点心得:珍惜当初喜欢又喜欢你的 且原理渣女别付出太多 可 可忍不住啊
意外的还不错 Ps.能不能找个人把我打晕20年阿 让我看看20年后这个狗疫情还在不在
立意和主旨其实很好，用不同的视角来认识自己、看待世界就是不同的人生。但……只能说故弄玄虚去搞悬疑，答案是如此淡而无味的话，很影响观感。
