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!
青春小品，里面这种有点冷有点丧有点阴阳怪气的基调还挺有意思的，为戳加一星。
Waiting doesn't mean you shut down. It doesn't mean you turn yourself into the kind of person that lets the world decide who you are and what you can do.
戳爷的颜，配上超市营业员的克莱因蓝马甲，少年感「咻」的一下就出来了。至于剧情什么的，在爆棚的荷尔蒙阴影之下，显然已经没那么重要了。
Don't leave the people who love you with nothing.
Fears are stories we tell ourselves.看完以后不得不感慨戳爷是真滴好看……想安慰Estha小哥，毕竟他看起来太压抑了。
其中最动人的细节在，男孩经历过父亲死亡带来的痛苦，所以不会轻易自杀，这里很有力量。知者有所畏惧。印裔那个倒是符合刻板印象，以家庭荣誉为重，很少冲破阻碍去突破某一个壳子，除非逼不得已，非常压抑了。妈妈那个角色，被宗教洗脑的程度和个人天性所致，没法接受儿子，只能力所能及地把爸爸的遗物送过来，这个非常遗憾。朋友好重要，但是比不上爱人，在爱人浓情蜜意时，朋友可以放在一边。超市老板那段，让妻子来充当了出轨一方，也很有意思，柴米油盐之外，精神需求还是很重要。最后虽然希望明示结果是好的，但想想应该不会明示，因为这部电影要说的就是，怎么在各种丧失下举起拳头等待，一边等待一边往前走。因为生活中有漠视，也有爱，有苦痛，也有新的各种可能存在。
“What? This is fucking awesome.”
夏天和潮起潮落的海、单车和漂亮男孩，青春又幼稚的简单故事，好听的BGM和油画般的背景板，关于HIV关于亲情友情爱情，但都只是泛泛而谈
有些爱情是从聊不来开始的。“我最爱的大卫鲍伊”“不认识”“你最想唱什么歌”“泰勒斯威夫特”
能理解，谁给我点一首Space Oddity我也会被骗走。
戳的颜值和演技都在线。在大多数感情里，以为那个人是这辈子最对的人才是最蠢的。
天啊 是不是Gay都得这么去吐槽 太cliche了
剧情比较平淡，但是意外地让人很想看下去。印度小哥好帅，两个人的暧昧是最激动人心的部分。开放的结局也很好，点明了主题
戳爷的青春疼痛文学🈶！！！关于：夏天+海滩+亲吻+离别 的标配～ 电影的插曲 真的做到了 每一首 都太太太太好听了！能占两星的程度！！！
明明有104分钟长却感觉像是看了一部二十分钟的短片，好水的剧情…
就很平淡的一部电影，尤其是最后的落脚点太浅了，不太配的上这样的主题，感情线的处理也比较草率。三个月能发生很多事，三个月也改变不了什么，你我还一如往昔，一样的横冲直撞，一样的满怀热忱。
就是美国是除了吸烟嗑药就不知道怎么表达人物情感了是吗……
看个电影还能看见自己学校的客串 但是是好看的 一种让人觉得life isn't so bad 的film
轻松青春片，我还挺喜欢。他们接吻的时候背景音乐是the drums的Down by the water耶！我从此以后再听这首歌不再伤感了。
戳爷好甜，表演好松弛，就是不知道他那么爱霉霉为啥会在片中黑她两次😂虚惊一场真的是人生幸事。等待的时光不要摆烂，要悄悄积蓄力量。
