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!
A very cute modern version | 非常清晰看见Fleabag和Call me by your name的影子 ｜ Persuasion说的是个爱有时差的故事呀，我大概太久没碰到这类故事了，就忍不住睽违地被打动一下 ｜ 多一星给自己的心软and心动
三星半。灾难喜剧，挺适合疫情期间看的。出租车那段太逗了，从地面到天台，又开到501。
风格不太原汁原味，且不说为了政治正确引入的有色人种，就原著的那种爱人错过，悔不当初，久别重逢的情愫还是没有充分表现出来。妹妹跳下来摔倒的那场戏看起来也有点假。总体来讲前面比后面好。可能为了迎合现代观众简奥斯汀的故事已经拍不出05年傲慢与偏见那种感觉了吧。
Hurt each other / and get hurt / 难以被定义的现代版改编
咱就是说，非洲裔饰演的拉塞尔夫人真的格外出戏。。。
这种搞笑灾难片真是少有，拍来讽刺韩国救援队的吧
轻喜剧。女主艳光四射，全赖配角统统歪瓜裂枣衬托。而且，一个白人，在奥斯丁时代，有这么多各肤色的亲友也挺难入戏的。
背信爱的信仰，被地位财富劝服，再相遇，被爱劝服？是这样吗？
改成这种活泼现代的腔调也满可爱 但男主是否改的太傻开心了一点 既不unjust也不resentful 怪不得最后情书里我最喜欢的一句都被删掉了….
达妹真的在凭一己之力拉高整部电影的颜值，所有配角都那么令人讨厌。
莫名其妙………… 什么时候假日恋人都值得用这么长的篇幅自我感动了
摄影和美术赏心悦目，比以往的版本都更“电影”，但是这改编也太《伦敦生活》了吧？
不能找个身材好点的男主和年轻一点的女主么，好想去意大利哼。。。
作为一部灾难片，节奏问题太大了，第一幕铺垫半个小时还没进入正题，各方面反应蜻蜓点水然后没下文了，跟《极限逃生》比，搞笑部分也如隔靴搔痒，没与灾难场景有机结合，一众熟脸卡司加盟也不能掩饰其烂片的本质
😂女主被红酒浇头我的第一反应是“发烂发臭”
您这消防队负责啥的啊？喊口号的？
求求了！！！能不能不要强行给“女权”加戏……到处都是各种拼贴的影子。拼贴各种主义，再拼贴点伦敦生活……呵呵
有一个设定不尽合理的片子，雨水一会就下满了500米的洞，黄色塑料水桶在500米水下丝毫不变形呵呵哒
平淡的故事，含蓄的人，出世的风景，新鲜的食材，莫名被这种平静和含蓄打动。好像没说什么，其实却包含了你毕生难求的东西。
平庸之作，其实就是讲丹麦厨师的寂寞，空虚，冷。
