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!
在偶然间想象，在现实中超现实。极简的镜头与丰满的文本，在叙事Trick的助推下，情感愈加强烈。终于理解滨口龙介为何成为当红炸子鸡，其展现的返璞归真的Cinema，至简至强，正是当代影坛最为稀缺的。
三个故事，主线是偶然中迸发的故事，通过人物对话展开的想象，文本很有意思，拍得倒是举重若轻，就有种洪尚秀包裹的滨口龙介的既视感。没想到有一段还是拉拉的故事，虽然主角并不是一对，但这个构思挺清新的，一个误会展开彼此高中时的友谊之上，青涩，无奈，心痛说啊说啊也就过去了。
这部电影的文本力太强太强了 Casting也非常绝 涩川清彦的反差感就为第二个故事增色很多 导编一体彻透的传达让电影似乎有穿透画面与滨口本人对话的魔法 听说他有7个这样的故事 当打之年的滨口龙介真的让人眼红
第一个故事给了我情绪过山车，很有讲故事的技巧感。
编剧太强，第三个故事是那种靠着想象力做出来的低成本科幻片，还是有点暖的那种。
都整部影片的叙述节奏缓慢如流水，导演抓住了人与人之间微妙的关系，如一颗小石子投入池塘中，慢慢泛起涟漪，平静的湖面下却是汹涌的情欲。
4.5/揉碎时钟表盘撒入偶然与想象的缝隙，在对白里飞散感情的凝视和审问。镜头停滞的瞬间泄露自我对爱的怀疑，情欲借由打开的门逾越体面界限，空间反向转体制造以阴差阳错为借口的和解。生命里牵扯出无数感慨的时刻，被滨口龙介以近乎文字的模式形成彻底的戏剧呈现。
将中世纪文化历史与当代女性主义观念恰切融合的精湛之作。三段式多视角叙事，看似"罗生门"，实则最终的女主视角才是痛切无比却又屡遭延宕与遮蔽的真相。乍看之下接近于“偷懒”的重复叙事，实际上每一场景的构图、运镜和节奏都有微妙差别，在叙述内容上三段也呈渐次递进与多面互补的关系。两位男主的自恋、虚伪、臆想与自我美化在第三段均昭然若揭。不过，比起宗教-政治权力体系中男性的相互包庇与沆瀣一气，女性间的嫉妒、恶意与互害行为更令人胆寒，甚至连曾经的受害者也自觉内化父权制的思维，对新一代的受难者也饱含敌视，但这却是古往今来人类难以真正摆脱的暴虐行为模式。决斗戏拍得惊心动魄，让人不能不与女主同呼吸共命运，而国王、贵族与群众的猎奇看客心态亦是刻骨讽刺。本片服化道十分精良，朱迪·科默人美演技佳。（8.5/10）
昨天在影院看完，三个视角 故事情节层层铺垫，并在最后一章达到高潮，历史书没有给勇敢的玛格丽特发声的机会，人们只会为决斗胜利的男性欢呼 却不会关心真正受到伤害的女性。在这里我们可以看到一位善良 可爱 勇敢的女性，为玛格丽特鼓掌👏🏻
那些游离于生活之外又能与生活平滑接壤的偶然与想象，才是我们活着的生趣吧。就像教授说的，不抱期望地相信它们的存在，我们才有可能在某个瞬间与某个人，产生奇迹般的共鸣与共勉。
想到侯麦的绿光和冬日故事，日常的奇迹。每个故事都让人不自觉去建构与想象一段情感关系的状况，不断去试探又打破，一段真实存在不被导演控制的关系可能往哪里发展，短片结束了它还会继续流动。第二个故事大概是近期看过最让人心潮澎湃的片段了，有禁忌的憧憬又是美好的心流时刻。
滨口龙介的剧作设计的极其巧妙，有着西方契科夫式的独幕剧剧情设置，又有着东方式的奇思与幻想，在建构与间离之间游走，整体观感极佳
第一、二个故事里的大段对白都棒读明显啊，话剧也不会搞成这样吧，是我欣赏不来的…
没有没有遗憾的人生。
人人都夸滨口的台词高级，可我心目中高级的台词应该是比利怀尔德那种让人拍案叫绝或是伍迪艾伦那种让人会心一笑的台词，至于滨口么，emmm只能说我好几次都因为台词太绵密而开始心不在焉地玩手机→_→虽然但是对第二个故事还是挺喜欢的，很意想不到的发展和结局。
喜欢尤其最后一个故事打动，重逢与爱情的时间魔法。
期待太高，有点点失望。第一个故事有点摸不着头脑。第二个故事有很多隐喻和社会反思，值得再看。第三个故事最艺术，最符合电影主题
电影充满了玩文字游戏一般的趣味。仔细想想其实三个故事里的偶然都冥冥之中早已注定。人躲避不开自己的命运，所能做的就是在这层薄薄的真相上涂抹着各种言不由衷，无结果的尝试和所谓的偶然。但人生也正因此充实而丰富起来。说到想象，人与人关系里最妙不可言的或许是对“他人眼中自己”的想象。我们在“凝视”和触碰外部世界之前，首先是个对“被凝视”需求很大的生物。
由三个短片组成，影片仅以对话推动剧情，在强大文本和优秀演员的加持下，从日常生活中提炼出触动人心的闪光瞬间。
这也拍的太好了吧，每一个小故事都韵味十足。生活中的纷乱小事，随意拎出来一件，稍加改编，感觉都能在滨口龙介的画面里精彩呈现。
