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!
影片基本上就是在营造一个周而复始的圈 主人公的活动轨迹 跟那个戒指一样 是个环形宿命 所以这个片子基本上在呈现不断流转的轨迹化运动 但事实上没有锚定点 如果非要将这种思路作为影片辩护的手段 那么视听上不用那么讲究 搞得跟小青年文艺风格一样算是哪门子事？ 如果你把那种跟钢琴伴奏清泉流水一样的剪辑视为小清新的MV影像的延伸 那么跟镜头风格倒是很匹配 两星不能再多了 要学马利克或者学肯洛奇都可以 但得往一种风格上走 不然做出来的都是夹生饭
个人很不喜欢致郁系、尤其是虚伪的致郁系，情绪性地减一颗星。
没有姓氏的流浪者只能永远在路上。虽然整体创作方式上带有某种即兴，但仍未脱离美国独立电影的范式框架。对时代和政治上的及时回响，留下的是浪漫主义的解答。
前一个小时是无奈，孤独，固执。
生若蜉蝣，行如流水
Swankie叙说她被千百只燕子包围着飞舞，悬崖上倒影中，雏燕的蛋壳纷纷落入水中，这一切都无与伦比……只可惜将其以视频画面呈现出来时，却不及她所叙说的美
一直在想什么时候结束，这种电影可以得金球奖，对精心制作的剧本、剪辑、配乐……都是侮辱
结尾挺好的！我就知道她应该回去看看！我全副武装去电影院看的，回来打开hulu发现hulu就有！鼻子差点气歪呃…
被迫分开的不是“see you down the road ”，而是“always keep company ”。
我喜欢这种剧。不管多老，都要有一颗自由的心。
她像一个随波的纸箱，在环形的时间里逐流。影片大半情绪建立在女主弗朗西斯的演技上，她在《三块广告牌》之后又一次惊艳到了我。我个人感觉导演应该很喜欢李沧东，清晨，傍晚，紫色的云霞，低饱和得画面从头至尾压抑着情绪，营造了一种诗意。但这不是科恩兄弟那种失败者的醉乡民谣，而是选择游离在城市边缘，自我治愈的游牧者之歌。
See you down the road. 很漂亮的電影，也很深刻。想起有些人一輩子不會結婚，總是會有非主流的選擇存在世界，沒有對錯。也想起資本主義使人不快樂。
希望每个人都文化自信
这不是《海边的曼彻斯特》里丧偶后的生活孤独，也不是《德州巴黎》中要逃离社会的心灵孤独。这种一种最接近灵魂本质，人类在这个自然宇宙中孤独，是一种不存在任何社会符号，不能用任何语言文字所形容的永恒的孤独。女性天生比男生更接近自然，这才是女性电影人最具感染力的影像传递力量。她和李安没有可比性，而是在泰伦斯马利克的基础上的更进一步。（配乐差强人意，影像风格略显跳跃，但比起骑士已经是个很大的飞跃。）
有太多可以说的东西了，流淌的画面里暗藏着巨大的属于一个中年女人的孤独的能量。应该推荐给56岁自驾游的阿姨看
真心不喜歡這套，縱然它拿下了金獅及眾多獎項。總覺得電影有着一股很強烈的說教味道，而且表達得刻意做作，探討社會問題亦顯得不痛不癢，捉不着重點，描繪主角內心的孤獨舆漂泊無根的視角也顯得很平面，沒有深度和層次感，最致命還是那些旅遊風光式的攝影與配樂，太過泛濫之余，更加無助表達角色的內心世界，只淪為矇騙觀眾此片為高逼格文藝片並自我感覺良好的工具--自然主義，公路，空鏡。
我好像有点理解了她，当我独自在越南生活时。

飘散着纪录片风格的drama, 让习惯了一种模式过人生的城市人看到了生命的其他活法，主动选择还是迫不得已。
