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!
但是，看到本片的男孩在即将离开Belfast之前的家中，喊出“I don't want to leave Belfast”。能感到这才是本片作者最接近表现情感的时刻。
精美，reference High Noon的街道和配乐还挺妙的。
Belfast 贝尔法斯特 11.18
只是話口未完，2021最被高估電影，還得強調。
小男主角可爱又幽默，染上黑白色也不能和罗马相比，太过匠气
20220118 处处对标《罗马》却又时时落入下风的平庸之作，情绪音乐剧情都太满了，颇有些腻歪……孩子和俩老人的关系倒是表现得有亮点。不过更大的问题似乎是，孩童视角天然被免除了很多基本的判断，60年代很诸多冲突和被简化为教派之争。一家人被封闭在街区中寻找出路，离愁别绪成为唯一可回忆的自我观照。
精美，reference High Noon的街道和配乐还挺妙的。
——我会长久地记得Judi Dench说这句话的那张脸。
一星半；毫无才气的作品，通篇只看到对《罗马》的拙劣模仿和各种MV串烧，细节浮皮潦草，人物形象扁平，导演没有能力交待清楚贝尔法斯特的时代背景，只能用老电影片段、新闻播报将自己破碎的童年记忆和时代信息塞给观众，既笨拙又浅薄。电影转场和故事推进基本靠播放歌曲MV的形式，也充分暴露了导演对电影语言把握上的无知
提名剧本奖个人无法认同，台词镜头都很好，但是剧情有点工业化了。离乡的挣扎，一个没出过国的东北人共情了。8.2分
。。。走or留。爱尔兰口音把ei发e是不是就够了
6｜这跟罗马完全是两个东西，没法比，也比不过。不太喜欢，太夸张了，设计太多就会丢掉真实感….
影厅里时不时传出笑声｜妈妈好美｜影片播放之前看到Downton Abbey的预告片，本人作为Judi和Maggie奶奶的粉丝真是双厨狂喜（又想去再刷一遍《女爵印象》lol）
北爱尔兰问题只是带过而已，最多算背景，剧情里面说是宗教冲突有些保守了吧！
《贝尔法斯特》有着十几首动听的BGM，在轻歌曼舞中唱尽爱尔兰人的乐观幽默、执拗坚强，道出他们的心酸与不舍。
一开场就是《罗马》名场面，也不得不带着对比的眼光看下去了，孩子的视角纯真可爱，小演员演技担当是本片之福，但因为视角所限，社会的动乱和父母的争执都是断裂的叙述，无从知道动乱从何来，也不清楚母亲在洗衣粉事件之前是怎么同意移居的，全片只有淡淡的忧伤情绪是完满的，而怀旧歌曲和彩色光影密度之高，说是导演私人化的讲述不为过，感觉就像一篇小学生日记。（想了两天改不及格）
疑惑的镜头和疑惑的色彩运用。并不能好好回忆的回忆录
被感动到了。很符合疫情当下动乱的世界，多少人留下，多少人离开，多少人迷失……
2022.02.17一个人在蓝湾看。以小城窥大世：生存的困，时代的苦，小情的囧，大情的难。两个点：爷爷去世的萨克斯，88岁Dench最后的“Go. Go now. Don't look back”及门后垂首，以及小尾巴“For the ones who stayed. For the ones who left. And for all the ones who were lost.” 3星半。
贝尔法斯特里的罗马，私人回忆的珍贵在其真实和私密，只是未必总能讲出好故事。可是好喜欢朱迪丹奇的最后一幕，我们都是无脚鸟，在这个陌生分裂的地球上不知疲倦地向前飞。Go. Go now. Don’t look back.
