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!
相由心生。四十岁以前的相貌是父母给的，四十岁以后的相貌是自己修的。这一点在同期出道的妮可•基德曼和娜奥米•沃茨脸上看的清清楚楚。
索金一贯的风格，台词密集的吓人，很容易在开头就被劈头盖脸的信息量砸晕，但是逐渐进去后就好了。
剧本不行，全靠妮可基德曼一个人在撑着，冗长的剧本，中后段我一度走神，好在结局把我拉回来了。影片表达的其实是一个女性在政治迫害，职场不公，婚姻不幸等等元素下的逆袭。然而太过流水账的剧情，并没有很好的体现女性坚韧的力量，直到结局，我才恍然大悟，哦，原来她赢了。
社恐患者版“后窗”？这时长是不是标错了，找的资源都是89min
呃，能不能少拍一点这种裹脚布一样又臭又长的传记电影，除了助力演员冲奥看不出来有任何可鉴之处…
每一个桥段都很想说：we see you behind, Aaron Sorkin!
人物性格转变太突兀了 人设立不起来 女主这种病根本不是很快就能克服的 不适合电影里的设定（参考无耻之徒里的Sheila 那位转变的就很合理）
这种标准冲奥传记片，还是关于好莱坞自己之前那些破事的，我真的看腻了，索金现在是不是越来越执着于奥斯卡了，连着来导演，剧本打磨都没有以前好了，机关枪台词加几个倒叙，也不新鲜了啊。妮可表演不喜欢，但还是看出来不错，巴登和西蒙斯这奥提真就没啥必要了
几个感想 1.当今戏剧舞台上，除了“中国人”就是“美国人”，性格特征无需区分，立场必须明确。 2.艾伦索金对于文字的迷恋与玩弄，也算是编剧的原初创作力之一了，文字的所指与能指关系，哲学气息。 3.唯有在戏剧舞台上才能感受到感情的女主，倒也真是浪漫过头。 4.所谓演员，到底拥有多么恐怖的可塑性，可被完完全全的样板戏化，也可完完全全的被间离。
真是为妮可基德曼才硬撑着看完，实在太长了……不过最后结尾还是有点动人的，祈祷好处的“忘词”
台词太多很影响观感，关于女性所面对的职场歧视和婚姻危机，露西已经是深受欢迎的喜剧演员，在工作中却处处受到限制，无法将自己的想法付诸行动无法完成事业追求，她早已厌倦自己在情景剧中愚蠢滑稽的形象，也厌倦了充满谎言的婚姻关系，最后作出了正确的选择。
挺好玩的。
妮可演得很棒，但剧作太老气了，确实不够好看
入室打架再杀死几个人即可治愈人群心理障碍。
抑郁症+白作+女quan师+黑人男友+挑战quan威=流量密码？烂片！反胃！
真是为妮可基德曼才硬撑着看完，实在太长了……不过最后结尾还是有点动人的，祈祷好处的“忘词”
世界上还有比这长的更像妮可基德曼的吗？结果是整容过度变老后的妮可。
当意识到自己可以杀了他们，终于可以不再害怕。运镜太丝滑了，心。
开始20min分钟剪的很乱，看了差不多40min接受了电影的节奏。妮可演的很棒，迟早二封。剪辑很差，中间的tv部分不知道是哪个时间段插进来的。剧本的对话安排的有点凌乱，不给人梳理前后矛盾的空隙。
感觉还可以啦 能体会到电影的主旨，女主对home的追求，以及对check the wrong box的反抗
