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!
将一个有关freewill和现实真相的哲学命题，拉回到爱情故事，只能说格局小了。降低了MATRIX的能力和智商。（看到Barney就跳戏想说legendary）。开篇的矩阵嵌套是个亮点，虽然之前也想到过，但是没有再深入挖掘有点可惜（不然就成盗梦空间了）。Ps. 其中一些设定和衔接需要大家了解官方后续剧情MATRIX ONLINE里面的故事。（包括现实中的墨菲斯之死、矩阵的再次更新、机器爆发的战争等）
与其说演的好，不如说范老师一如既往，只是其他一众角色过于模式化。
太刻意了，主旋律最怕刻意。最难忘的是那个雪夜，大家对着玻璃上的党徽宣誓，真的是信仰和悲壮交织的感觉。
范伟扔手榴弹贡献了可以载入中国电影史的镜头
大部分时间都是黑漆漆的，没啥亮点，太普通了。
佩服自己居然看完了，也够无聊。不知集编剧导演于一身的究竟何许人也，为啥会被华谊兄弟找来干活？
神叨叨的彩蛋与大量故作高深、打破第三面墙高谈时代、媒体、哲学与剧情建构的“制作者发言/抱怨”，令影片的观感更加撕裂与痛苦。
“铁道游击队”的意义：一在事迹，二在人物。由于是通过具有时限的电影形式展现，对于角色的细节没有过多描写，基本是直接告诉观众某某是队长、某某有亲属一类信息，因此影片情绪点的共情由剧情担起，使单薄的故事更“力不从心”。
第3374-范伟被抓跟日本军官在火车上互怼之前，我脑海里想的大概就是日本人来到我们国家耀武扬威的，就像邻居到我家欺负我，宁肯死也要拼了，范伟就说了出来……说得好，这也是全片最喜欢的地方。
应该给两星，但是中国电影市场不应该再拿出这样的作品给观众看，拒绝~
前面剧情有点拖沓，似乎好像看困了
正派抖精神大推运镜，反派掐指算推理达人；
没有喜悦，没有大杀四方，只有寒冷，胜利是一点一点抠出来的。（老范一炸封神）
人物塑造单一，感觉只写了一个主角？！2个小时的电影空洞如此，不应该啊。不能老拿历史情怀来补漏。老版本铁道游击队可好看的不得了。也就比抗日神剧好些吧。
这片子怎么说呢……用心吧，是用心的，可平庸也是真的。
2.8 主旋律同行衬托下，居然觉得能看，但也没有很好看，大概是因为还属于类型片的框架。这个故事真是各处偷懒，能简单就简单。行动之间的连接很松散，所有事件都没有延伸。故事偷懒，情感传达也偷懒，护士和火车司炉两个角色应当承担抗日精神的种子功能(周也，你为何笑得如此灿烂），也表现得不完整。比较好的设计是让日本军官和老王的办公点隔空相望，从物理空间上体现两人在两方对决中的统筹地位；服道化比较贴近角色职业，最起码不是八佰里的三七分精致大背头
感觉那个日本鬼子演的不错，就是最后死法太侮辱智商了。。
我终于知道莉莉为啥不想执导了。这啥玩应？WHAT A MESS（捂脸）。生动诠释了什么叫狗尾续貂，哦不说狗尾都是侮辱狗。开头还好，越到后越支离破碎，感觉是拍着拍着不想拍了。各种尬炒冷饭，镜头晃瞎眼，动作戏一塌糊涂。剧情上也毫无深度可言，就完完全全爆米花化了，WTF. 多一颗星给我家基努里维斯。
出场人物挺多，但真正塑造起来的人物很少，除了老王跟老洪，其他人物都很扁平，故事内核也没有拍出来。但我还是要谢谢没拍成故意煽情的主旋律电影
远低于预期，故事很平很散，甚至如同嚼蜡，偶尔紧张的片段几乎无一例外都戛然而止。但也有为数不多的优点：没给小日本鬼子降智，范伟演技是看点。最后<弹起我心爱的土琵琶>让我湿了眼眶。 论剧情最多两星，但因为范伟的演技值得多一颗星！
