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!。14岁的小女孩苏西生性活泼、古灵精怪,父亲是一个模型爱好者,母亲是循规蹈矩的传统女性,妹妹大胆,弟弟弱小。生日时,她收获了一部相机,从此爱上了拍照,甚至在一个月间用光了24卷胶卷,令父母十分挠头。一次,全家在逛超市的时候,她偷偷望着橱窗外的男孩发呆。祖母看穿了苏西的心事,那个英俊的英国学长便是她的暗恋对象。然而,还没等两个人吐露心事,苏西却落入了坏人设下的陷阱。那个色迷迷的邻居哈维,用花言巧语引诱苏西,骗她走入其事先设好的圈套…… 本片根据艾丽斯•西伯德的畅销小说改编而成,以苏西的视角、倒叙的方式,讲述了一个魔幻主义的犯罪故事。。故事发生在明朝年间。少镖主王振威(周群达 饰)这日接到陈震南(安瑞云 饰)将军的镖书,要他将爱女盈盈(徐自贤 饰)和聘礼护送至远在边关的北齐王处,那边的世子将迎娶性格孤傲的盈盈,不明就里的盈盈跟着护镖的一干人马踏上了征程。出发不久,遇上了劫色的一伙叛军,他们想挟盈盈做人质,逼迫其父陈震南退兵,在王振威、副将李峰(任天野 饰)、沈飞燕(吴晓敏 饰)的保护下,总算杀出重围。行进中盈盈无意间发现了箱子里的凤冠霞帔,这才明白此行是父亲要把她嫁给一个自已不爱的人,她声泪俱下地质问和她早就相爱的李峰,并提出要与其私奔。李峰有苦难言,而王振威则看出了盈盈有要逃走的迹象......。
