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!
演员的表演都还在线，这剧本可能做成舞台剧更好， 但如果要进入现实影像，现在这个状态是不令人满意的；影片所呈现的上海，缺少真实市井生活的那种烟火气，就像个浮在半空的斑斓肥皂泡，过于虚幻了， 特别是为了突出这座城市国际化程度的那些设定， 显得既刻意又做作；本片最大的亮点就是沪语对白， 特别还有粗口，这个的确非常稀罕，这也许是在本地土著中引起观影热潮的一个原因吧
填补了华语电影多处的空白：地域/方言（南方&吴语）电影，城市中年爱情，不俗套的台词片，有几处恍惚看到了侯麦，估计还是太久没看到灵的华语电影了
可能我期待太高了，也可能徐峥老师的卖相实在太差了，也可能关键场面的火候总是差了那么一点点，四星打不下手去啊
梗还是不少的，但是作为一个纯北方人我确实没get到在讲啥
当然相信它自有受众，但确实不是我。
国产电影里难得的都会小品，轻盈灵动，人物鲜活，台词处处机锋，余味悠长。角色和城市气质相得益彰，中男中女们的情感与生活碎片，构成一幅当代都市生活图景。几位主演都很好，女的灵，男的纯熟，腔调对上了，看着真舒服。生命中来来去去，真理在于折腾。爱情有没有神话，亦真亦幻，也罢也罢。
走了太多下坡路？那就爬山去吧！所谓人生，忽然爱情，大抵如此。
怎么能差成这样：視角混亂、鏡頭語言一塌糊塗、音樂濫用、美學東拼西湊、各種段子和抖機靈、導演功力為0全靠演員演技支撐。
终于看上了！但我不知道为啥这么多辣妹要搞一个我爸
还好当时没浪费钱去电影院看，电影里的儿子确定不用出柜吗？
有一点很有意思
蛮惊喜的一部片子 配乐真的是太赞了 娓娓道来的感觉 纯上海话增加了一份上海独有的摩登腔调 而如此具有烟火气的电影 也是好久没有看到了的 细节和一些画面蛮妙的 第一次群人坐在饭桌上的唇枪舌战也是堪称经典啊 好看好看
其实片名是一句话的一部分
PS:评分虚高，但不能否认电影的商业属性和话题热度。片子很多地方都不出色，个体的刻画像极了豆瓣知乎文艺用户，但对电影市场上数字奇观和流量审美疲劳后，这种操着方言的市井电影更能舒服和留恋。
本来以为是中年男女的爱情，结果却是老白与老乌的爱情。话说还是挺吃这一套。烟火气。
有些地方还是流于表面，我已经不能满足于把男生化妆作为平权要素了，毕竟不是一阶级的事儿。透着聪明劲，台词和电影的气质争着口舌之能，却都聪明又小心地避开生活骨肉的部分。三个女人加老乌同时造访一段我几乎以为在看春晚小品。一夜情沾上名女人就爱情神话了？有房子懂艺术心地好会做饭的男人，“没想那么多”（不信）地付出，就算不懂你看话剧为什么流泪，那也是天上掉下来的。什么时候能把两性的肝胆相照拍出来。片子感觉就像是马伊俐锦衣夜行拎着一塑料袋水果穿着高跟鞋去赴约，我只想到脚痛
电影里那句我不过是犯了全世界男人都会犯的错，和那句不要爱上我因为我很危险，以及两个女人说完这话以后没有示人的表情都挺值得玩味的。
片子很灵气，非常契合魔都的精神内核。可爱的吴侬软语深深入耳，有趣的BGM首首直戳心门。小白爱情看太多，腻歪了，那批观众也大了，中年爱情题材绝对是以后的潜力股。
我觉得就糖水片啊，里边所有元素就广告片的水平。什么美术啊音乐啊还有那都什么玩意儿啊……就把上海所有符号噱头往里那么一放…诶一宣传…诶…
如此纯熟自然的轻喜剧，对现代两性关系做了恰到好处的典型化，成熟得不像是一个非科班出身导演的处女作
