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!
50年到100年，好像山田洋次也在思考，电影可能是神迹是没有才能的人一辈子也追不上高度，比起浪漫到极致的电影天地，电影之神现实了许多，没有那么多光靠热血与情怀就能成的事。天地是每个人的，可是神明只有那一小小部分人的。可以静静的看场自己喜爱的电影也够浪漫了。
#BJIFF2021 山田洋次从助理做起，剧本投稿参赛得了第一名，赢了奖金，从此一路顺风顺水名扬天下。电影主人公像是导演在平行世界的影子，不过是个失败版。导演对失败者给予了并不廉价的温柔和同情，这是山田一贯的最可宝贵处。北川景子昭和明星的扮相真美，但和原节子比起来仍差得远啊。
確實是給電影的情書💌
这部电影的厉害之处在于，仅用两个小时就打消了我想嫁给菅田将晖的念头
这是山田先生对电影黄金年代的深情回望，也是疫情期间给爱电影人的抚慰剂，却也可能是山田先生作品序列中最弱的一部，影片拍摄的波折与幕后的情谊（志村健去世，泽田研二补上）、表达的主题都非常感人，但故事和人物实在不完善，菅田将晖也没演出年轻主角的“无赖”，导致角色有割裂感，最关键的是片中片《电影之神》的创意在伍迪艾伦《开罗紫玫瑰》中已经完美地演绎过一次了。
山田洋次导演对电影纯粹的爱，但稍微觉得冗长。
get不到这部，尤其最不喜煽情的部分，假。
每一个镜头之间，都有神灵寄宿其间，这就是电影之神。
一个人的梦想 会带领他走向终点 每个风流男子大概都会有一个痴情女子相伴终身 但最终还是得不到善终 跟着别人跑了
感觉两个时空的故事有点脱节，但还是心甘情愿被灌鸡汤和热血，缅怀志村健。
还与时俱进了疫情后的生活。
片子里到处活跃的小joke一看就是山田洋次的作品 结局一般 当年制片厂年代的日本电影 真实又可爱
故事情节在《开罗紫玫瑰》看过，拍摄手法今敏大师的《千年女优》更出神入化，人物设置极具代入感亦有时代局限性。这是一个帅气不羁小鲜肉苏打变成肚子大头发秃胡搅蛮缠的苏大强的故事。我无法共情太多就是了，只能惋惜哀叹这家族凝聚之力是内部的折损消耗与牺牲。更有甚者，这还挑起了丽人寺的夜间舌战。本人在此严正声明：感谢邀片小腿子，感恩陪伴丽人们，喜欢苏打，不针对演员，不针对角色，演的不错，拍的也可，但我不喜欢。
get不到这部，尤其最不喜煽情的部分，假。
那个雨打叶子的穿窗镜头，视听盛宴。
所以这个老不死的最后还是跟自己的情人走了！用一生的时光来说明人生选择的重要性，能够认清自己，能够明白合适才是最重要的重要性，才不会虚妄此生！
电影里，男主角评价他师父的电影：单看各个镜头都没什么感觉，但组接在一起后却神奇地好看，镜头之间一定住着电影之神吧！——大概这就是我对这部电影的评价，温柔，可爱，充满感情～
盲看也知道是山田洋次的作品，老爷子一板一眼的啰嗦叙事和古早的表现手法有些和时代的快节奏格格不入了…选角很到位，没想到北川景子和永野芽郁都非常适合昭和时代松竹映画的调性……和爷爷一起改剧本太幸福了…
可能是拍摄过程过于波折，剧本又临时加上了新冠情节，有不少地方都交代得不算清楚。最不清楚的一段可能是淑子对Goh的感情何以去到这么深。不过选永野芽郁演昭和纯情少女绝对是本片最出色的选角，当代年轻女星应该没有比她更适合这类人物。志村健或许比泽田研二更加适合这一部电影，不过正如永远不知道梅艳芳演《阮玲玉》会不会比张曼玉更好，我们也只能靠想象来幻想志村健会怎么演Goh这个角色。永远怀念志村桑。
两代人的割裂感太强，看不到任何成长，使得老年戏异常难看，感受不到共鸣~6.0
