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!
差点因片名而错过的一部佳作。很自然很生活，几条熟悉街道，几片阳光树影，几段爆肚金句，看的很舒服，配乐选曲也很到位，小而美的电影这么拍就对了。
男人女人性别政治美食腔调异域迷影，当代人的爱情神话。
片子很灵气，非常契合魔都的精神内核。可爱的吴侬软语深深入耳，有趣的BGM首首直戳心门。小白爱情看太多，腻歪了，那批观众也大了，中年爱情题材绝对是以后的潜力股。
蛮好的，这种电影就像痒痒挠，能让你舒服了就是灵。个人没有特别喜欢，但有趣的是观影的经历。本来是吃完饭去商场随便逛逛，这部电影准备明天看的，结果发现有票，于是一拍即合，立刻买票进场。稍微错过了开头的五分钟，但也无妨。从某个角度来说，倒是蛮需要这种“上海视角”的爱情喜剧，但同时正是因此，整部电影呈现的质感更像是某部剧的几个片段。个人喜欢结尾，是本人最喜欢的荒诞感日常。能这样收尾真的是，配上里面的几个片段，导演的迷影感和剧本的平衡性，才是当下国内导演所稀缺的。
灵啊灵啊！太好看了，和上海的城市气质浑然天成，是想要打飞的去魔都的电影院再去看一次的程度。“女人没有甩过一百个男人的人生是不完整的”，“我现在是最好的状态：有钱有闲，老公失踪”，“我只不过犯了所有男人都会犯的错误”，爽死谁了？爽死我了。爱情神话在捕风捉影间，生活的笑泪在最心酸的深处。有被击中，为那份真诚可贵的认同和理解。btw，原来上海小资文青聚众看费里尼也是会打瞌睡的，我不必为自己羞愧。
跟我喜欢还潮的歌一样，知道有点缝合怪的意思，但就是好听好看呀。
走了太多下坡路？那就爬山去吧！所谓人生，忽然爱情，大抵如此。
每个角色都各有各的鲜活，故事也非常自然。难得能看到这么出彩的爱情片！PS: 老白儿子那个角色演技太拉垮了……
1. 老乌自行车被勒令推走之前，跟酒馆要了一杯乐加维林，最后追思会老白给大家倒的就是乐加维林。
我可能是完全不灵的那批观众，所谓的生活气息离我太远了，只觉得聒噪和做作。
很喜欢！！ 可是现实中哪有三个这么极品的女人都喜欢徐峥这样的中年男人？？

有点点上海版小伍迪艾伦的味道，不同的是虽然剧情的推进是通过徐峥饰演的男性角色的，但影片是充满女性视角的，整体自然流畅又舒服。片子里有很多“冒犯”的、“造反”的、内涵社会现象和文艺圈现状的台词，也难怪这片口碑爆的时候有老导演看不惯看不起喷本片导演。我想“女人一辈子不造一次反是不完整的”也是导演本人的态度。
本来就是个看起来很舒服的中老年爱情轻喜剧，非要学别人上什么女性意识觉醒的价值。所谓的女性意识就是两句对话剧的表面批判，就是雌竟的女人们最终成为了朋友，就是独立帅气的女孩子喜欢上阴柔气息的男孩子，对不起，我们看不上那种妈宝幼稚男。
陪爹妈看的，希望爹认清自己（划掉）。也不是看得不舒服，但它的底色摆在这里：彻底背离真实的文本，完成的、完全的、完满的虚浮。没有真实的爱情（及其困境）、神话（及其真实）和死。一部彻底的喜剧，于是有足够的观看理由，因为我们想（？）生活在其中。但确实完成度挺高的，以至于我们觉得老乌的最后和他和索菲亚·劳伦故事一样是无所谓真假的——可是，如果是这样，那么白老师为什么要哭呢？
结尾也挺有意思的，浪漫至死，但是感觉有点虚，可能我还是不够浪漫。
马伊琍的上海话太有味了，对倪虹洁改观了，这电影里的爱情观👏总体值得一看
近来看的最棒一部国产片了，基于传统男女人设进行对调，三个女性角色如李小姐（异域离异格调神秘的野花）格洛丽亚（小野猫有钱有闲吃了抹嘴就跑）、前妻（犯了男人都会犯的错），以及两位男性角色白辛苦和浪荡子老乌，三女两男让一出私房菜成为一锅大锅饭，并且这还是个很有韵味和腔调，充满了戏谑和幽默的故事，我个人很喜欢导演给的这种视角和剧本语言。
人物、故事和城市高度融合的作品，好久不见。虽然还是一个夸张化的上海，但真的能感受到静安那种味道。三位女演员撑起了这部电影，周野芒值得一个最佳配角，宁理依旧很灵光。我最喜欢的居然是老乌和老白吵架闹矛盾那段，老朋友的吵架。
因为某老师不通人情的讲课演戏，只看了一小时。等补上那半场在来认真评价
