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!
Amazing dialogue, acting, editing and some really great shots.
事件情绪、冲突的开始结束、延续…做得特别好
思来想去，还是不忍心不给五分，虽然最后十分钟把我看得怒火中烧的，一万个不理解o(╥﹏╥)o 第一，fabian可以死，甚至必死，甚至可以这样死，但是为啥非要这个时机死呢？？搞什么烂俗的命中注定阴差阳错啊我真的是……第二，fabian看起来是“应该”死的，但是活下来会不会更深刻一些呢？虽然也会更残忍吧……很郁闷，三个小时的精彩纷呈精神紧张，在我心里最后十分钟是没收住的。画外男声：fabian淹死了。画外女声：他不会游泳。——这两句画外音算是结尾的亮点了。 五星同样送给男神希林（希林可真是个好名字），演绎这样的角色简直是手到擒来了，无可指摘❤
战前的柏林，一切都在逐渐崩溃，“体面、人道和正常的人”不再可以被向往。法比安没学会游泳，因此他不懂如何在时代中逃生。他自身难保，奈何却背着沉重的正直之天赋。也许，无论是像挚友那样自杀，还是像他那样悲剧英雄主义色彩的溺水身亡，突如其来的死亡，生命于青年时期戛然而止，对理想主义者来说都是善终。看到法比安的笔记被烧毁，感觉非常悲伤，随后是更多的笔记和书被销毁。青年法比安们，他们的爱、友情、理想、迷惘、痛苦，都被历史的洪流吞没，成为无人知晓的存在。
sad。并不觉得沉闷，慢慢地你就变成了法比安，看到了他所看到的一切，最后溺死在湖中。
3.5
我要加一星表扬自己现在还能看下去这样的片子哈哈哈
这次他不是画家，是诗人，终于和美丽的小姨恋爱了
太喜欢了，法比安是那些内心纯良但又无路可走者的缩影。
太绝了这电影 那种感觉把控的太好了！男主演技很🉑️好会演
有条鱼淹死了，这个故事告诉了我们，要学会游泳，别拖沓，懒惰会要了命
魏玛背景是我偏爱的，汤姆希林是我偏爱的，风格化影像是我偏爱的，絮语式叙事是我偏爱的。但我却偏偏感受不到「喜欢」(-ι_- )(前半段太抓人了，后面完全就是冗长与乏味)
“一个当代高学历社畜的消亡史”（到最后，还在期待一个比较美好的结局，大概是有点社畜惜社畜吧～
以为会是像乔乔兔那样得故事，但人物塑造、剧情和冲突都超出预期，主人公去世后，他的文字也被烧毁，整个人都被彻底抹去了
三个小时的电影，竟然看完了…开头high到飞起的剪辑和表现手法以为又是一部导演意识流作品，结果后面故事反倒渐入佳境…虽然依然不懂导演要表达的东西，但同样入围金熊，我觉得这片子可比获奖那部好看多了…3.5
我离开你是为了和你在一起。
前半部分很琐碎，经常切换镜头的处理方式让我有点不适，难以进入状态，后半部分渐入佳境，慢慢展现出德国1941那个慢慢抛弃理性和良知、走向疯狂和堕落的时代，学不会游泳的法比安于是就成为了一个“不合时宜的人”，对今天生活在此地的我们也许颇有共鸣
德国式的仅仅有条减少了部分既视感，不过既视感依然强烈。犹太人要不是那么听话守秩序，纳粹清理他们时一定效率达不到那么高。施害和被害双方通力合作虽然过程不算愉快但结果很是惊人。
这居然是一个悲伤爱情故事，看到汤姆希林出演我还以为是个战争片（一些先入为主）。在动荡中相爱，分离，说好再见一面，可惜却是这样一个结局，“我每天三点都会来”。镜头画面很漂亮，感觉像是一个人的思绪，混乱割裂。
我为这样的角色感到想要忏悔，感到心痛，感到无奈，感到应该这样。感到，这才是对的，应该对抗这个时代的路。虽然知道会毁灭。但或许这是对的。
