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!
首先定个基调，《云霄之上》不同于以往传统意义上的战争片，它从水墨画般的镜头语言和富有哲理的艺术表达上，都有别于以往我们所理解的战争题材的电影，它有其独特之处。编剧周佳鹂在校内研究的方向是中国诗性电影，“诗性”两个字，贯穿影片始终。
不过本身脸盲的我实在没记住人，说不上完全看懂故事……
没有乱开枪乱开炮瞎死人已经赢了大部分战争片了。四星给美术摄影，有些场景做出了水墨山水画的感觉，结局那场红色的雨震撼到我了，不愧是国美。
然后想想节奏也有相通之处
虚有其表，严重偏科。从去年北影节对该片震撼的视觉呈现有所耳闻后，便一直期待着它。不愧是出自中央美院的作品，灰调的颜色，典雅的构图，满屏的丁达尔效应，画面既赏心悦目又颇具意境，尤其是开场的长镜头和单人逃难戏可谓是十足的惊艳。但当开始进入正文、介入叙事时，该片则成了一个刑天，我们只见其噱头满满的躯干，缺见不到其实实在在的头颅。直白粗暴的故事，扁平的人物，呆板的台词，无意义的群戏刻画，强硬刻意的情节（无铺垫，无结构），明显能做戏的地方要不就生硬地一笔带过，要不就理都不理。再加上导演无意义地追求长镜头却违背了长镜头的调度规则与其凌乱的战斗视角调度，摄影机不合时宜地运动，糟糕的演员表演，和粗糙的配音。这一切都不禁让人觉得，这部电影就只是几万张画堆在一起罢了。请先学会制作合格的电影，再去考虑拍文艺片吧。
吐一个小槽：战争片里，女性似乎难以存在，但往往都存在一个。《一个和八个》里有美女卫生员，《1917》里有单亲妈妈。这部电影里，长得像汤唯的美女渔民头一次露正脸，是黑夜潜入庙里送饭：所有男人的脸都在阴影里，这个美女的脸，居然给了一个经典好莱坞式的面光。
北京国际电影节。 低成本电影，看得出主创团队想突破一些传统主旋律电影的做法，算得上是一种探索吧，但至于做到了多少就见仁见智了。情节太零碎了，没有衔接，台词也太白了，过渡处理得比较含糊。央美的朋友说这部电影的色彩看起来很不舒服，是一种很奇怪的、饱和很低的灰调。不过看得出来为了追求诗性，摄制组在镜头上下了很大功夫。
印象里有几个天马行空的设计，但看到最后也没琢磨明白。
是执行命令，还是带兄弟们活下去，我下不了决心。却在芦苇荡的枪声里，山洞的口令中，河上的渔歌里，做出了生死的选择。如果河神能变成大鱼保护渔民，谁来保护这万里山河。老子顶天立地，凭什么你一声命令，大家就得去送死？因为肩上的一杆步枪，胸口的一道密令，天上的一场血雨和这护佑了山河的决心。
一部主题创作的诗意战争电影。全美院的制作班底，让电影的水墨感、摄影、画面构图得到了很大的保证。故事切口小、方言对话、画面介于黑白与彩色之间、叙事节奏不强……种种标签都与当下观众的观影习惯有所不同。导演在探索新的战争电影语言，也在试探观众的观影界限。
啥玩意，画面都快看不清了。这方言对话，像湖南，又有点像江浙，快分裂了～
#海上影展/作为一部任务式的电影，规避掉了宏大叙事，但依然是一部以小见大的群像电影，导演说虽然是任务但并不跟艺术表达冲突，但是影片的艺术表达有一种举棋不定的半写实半戏剧冲突
多给一星鼓励一下诗性电影 很直接的观感 水下戏印象深刻 光影变幻 战争独特观感超现实处理很棒 导演技法很棒 音乐方面不愧是德格才让 很棒 质感很好很好 就是故事弱了点 人物生硬了些 第一次在院线上看到诗性电影 期待后续创作
单位组织团建去看的，展现了中国人的英勇无畏，但是故事不太吸引人。
受宣传“诗性电影”影响，抱着一种奢侈的期待去看这部主旋律，有意的和《伊万的童年》做了对比，发现本片所谓的诗性仅留存于画面形式上，文本仍是“纯粹的”战争，节奏、意象也未跳脱出类型的框架。必须说出，导演有意营造的动静统一被拙劣的斯坦尼康毁的一塌糊涂。很遗憾没有在片中看到我军排泄的场景，刻意的性别命题也过于神圣。人只是像人而已。
【第十一届北京国际电影节 天坛奖 最佳催眠片】纯看摄影和美术（虽然也没看出什么东西来）
电影取材于1935年中国工农红军挺进师的一次“赴死”任务，故事本身就是悲凉的，台词表达和镜头语言也有种中国化的克制内敛，传统战争片中的大场面和悲壮情绪，在这里变得压抑又残忍，战争的残酷不再用猛烈的炮火和场面浩大的厮杀来展现，而是向内看，也是肉体凡胎的士兵在接到必死的任务的时候，心里的疑问、矛盾、坚持、升华，让观众更有共鸣，人性的温暖，在影片中被极其细腻的表达。云霄之下是众生，云霄之上是信念与光明。
在片尾看到了党史顾问（现在居然还需要配党史顾问），还有文学顾问，忘记有没有军事顾问了，应该没有吧因为真的很不合逻辑，枪和子弹浸在水里那么长时间还能正常使用，放在火堆旁边也不怕炸膛，手臂被炸掉后长时间没有绑带止血人还能活下去，失去平衡还能很快适应并下水游泳.....懂都懂吧只能说。
低饱和银色里场景透着绿，看下来还是挺考验眼睛的。故事不用谈，一次美术视听实践，需要费点劲儿才能看完，催眠得很
只有摄影调色能看了…电影看完了人脸都对不上，拍的也太黑了，看的人眼睛累
