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!
离别后才知道过去的美好，重逢后才知道现在的不堪。
可能因為是同個男主角，看的時候總想起《苦役列車》。
小说的开头比电影好，电影开头的一组画面，要不回头再看，不知道是什么，当然不知道也行，想和结尾呼应，开端及展开部似乎不及小说。有些日子没有看到这样味道的电影了，还行。我现在只给五星，或者不选，也想给五星，还是忍住了。
这种倒叙讲述对我来说还是太碎了（不过以后应该会重看）最动人的地方是拍东京塔突然熄灭的那一幕 初恋演过不可以报销和夜以继日 我说怎么这么眼熟 以及渣男东出昌大真的演得很不错
抱着回忆疗伤。我们都无法成为理想中的大人。
如果看见身边的人一点点被磨掉曾经的光亮
看有短評說像另一版本的花束 可惜男女主顏值都不是我的菜 實在撐不過10分鐘
有点梦想，有点普通，又有点不一样，不就是你我。
感觉是那种在三十岁生日当天，可以晒着太阳闲闲看下去的电影。真的……很普通，但那也没关系，因为我们都无法成为大人。 摘录台词：这世界上有80%的人都是垃圾，剩下20%是什么？人渣。 我在高兴时，会觉得很难过。
前面平到三星的观感，但色调好看，女主可爱，末段也骤然升华了。
很morden/容易被一些与自己生活截然不同的人吸引试图寻求不普通/最后还是跳脱不出既定的自我

没有融入到情绪里，倒叙的线索，男主前后的反差还蛮明显的。
《薄荷糖》的叙事手法应用到个人爱情生活一样适用，我们都很普通，却都不想成为普通的人，我们都活成自己讨厌的人，看完最后片名的时候，你会觉得电影只是把丧气和苦闷去呈现，但最后留了一句话，我们都已是大人了，要怎么走我们要自己说的算啊！
没看下去，前面的故事太琐碎，连贯性不强，看了20分钟好像还没进入主题，只看到男主颓丧的后来，电影色调暗暗的给人压抑的感觉，实在没有动力继续看下去看到电影想要折射的社会哲理，已弃。
时间线倒叙挺有意思・说好不会变普通，时间会在星空的房间里停下，但倒叙的形式更显现出时间流逝的陌生感，凝固时间的照片不断切换却显现出流动的样子，只代表着回不去的片段。每个人都变了，每个场景每个物件也都变了，不能成为或是不愿成为大人的人还是不肯认输。镜头上摇，又是普通的一个东京的早晨・题外话，第一次在电影中看到コロナ，之后会更多吧，我们的现在正在逐渐成为过去
我太喜欢这种风格的电影了 我最自由的日子是2014-2017年 现在想想过去 好像上辈子的事情了
我很不喜欢自己最近看完一部电影要花好几个夜晚，中断会让电影掉星。
自证有趣真的是现代社会最恐怖事件，妹子给你操就是有趣，给比人操就是普通？真是白瞎了小沢健二的歌。
日本的爱情片总是讲这普通人的平凡故事，讲着我们是如何从有着凌云志的小松委身成一丛一簇一株小灌木的过程。片子用了倒叙的方式让故事更扎心了些。。。
