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!
我们都懂，国人对外语片最高的评价是“真敢拍啊”
一堂社会学教研课，期待第二部
律师是阐述的是不是就是真相 他哪有时间做那么多功课
以戏论戏，并没有拍得很好。后面的连串反转，也过于表面化。至于高分，不言而喻了。
【B-】敢拍，会拍，但本质上还是套路化的印度犯罪庭审片。
反方律师和法官也有点弱，一个就在那听着，等人家说半天说完了才反对，一个是直接说秃噜了嘴，让人抓住把柄
细节很差，也没啥深度，好在哪里呢？全都是一个模子的商业化拍法，已经审美疲劳了。
首先夸配乐。大气又紧迫感十足。
不知道什么时候印度电影的现实主义成了个标签，主要题材好，就能捧上天。
“政治家最大的武器，你知道什么吗？ 是公众的情感，是疯狂。他们的思想、智慧还有决策，都会被这种疯狂压倒。一旦被这种疯狂所煽动，他们就不只是党员了，他们会成为信徒，我们要 点燃他们的情感，当他们因为这种情绪而忘记其他一切的时候，我们就能实现统治”
其实只值七分多一点，各种反转突兀且套路，音乐和慢镜头毫无增色，同题材的沉默的真相各方面都比它丰满太多。但真的希望这样的题材能多在大陆看到
敢拍能拍就是好电影了？自问自答、频频反转，就是好编剧了？原来这就是流量密码啊
总有人追求公平正义。
但是也是在这类问题上的佳作。
这部电影法庭对峙最后一场，是看过的最佳嘴炮庭辩戏，激情饱满到让人产生睥睨天下的错觉。有人说，敢这样拍，有希望。早前类似论调的是棒国，现实却是三星的营收已占其国GDP近五分之一，就是你可以说但不能做，真干？看我干不死你。这类电影大概可划为政治惊悚片范畴，与文艺界的活跃度有关，属于专业问题，非要扯到社会现实层面，是个泄伐闸，改变？是不是想简单了，翻翻史书，文艺就是锦上添花，宣传宣传，看这地人已经吃饱穿暖可以玩玩花活了。立国治世？看看李煜徽宗。望变，不斗争没点代价可行？不会真把联播上呼吁美帝咱们要共赢不要零和博弈，当真了吧。
感觉这部电影的意义真的已经超出电影本身能承载的量，2022年能看到这部电影真太好了。（如果你结合下今年毒教材，唐山，舆论等等，会让它显得极其真实。
层层递进的反转，以为是站在更高的正义，但离真相越近就越丑陋。其实你我都只是棋子。
影片想要表达的东西很多，强奸、种姓制度、权力政治、官僚贪腐、高校压榨、舆论操纵……关键是这样多元深刻的主题能够被编剧巧妙地用故事串联起来，虽复杂却不至于强硬。当然更佩服的还是印度人民如何将片子搬上大银幕。三层反转，有了法律意识我就意识到了结局肯定有反转。
如果没有电影的最后1小时，我相信绝大多数观众都是那些被媒体牵着鼻子走的人，这部电影的高分点大概就在于1点40分之后的转折
最令人觉得恐怖的是，要不是警长良心发现，主动把案件真相交出来，这件事很可能就被掩盖过去了
