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!
黑色电话教你逃生，那是四个男孩的亡灵通话。
大屏幕看视听效果太赞，一度紧张压抑到想离开电影院。小男主的心理素质和执行力真强啊，太励志了
典型的囚笼困境，主角与反派心理上的猫鼠游戏，导演在形式与剧情上没有刻意耍花，通俗易懂。影片开始将近半小时的铺垫，影片后半个小时迎来了高潮，一气呵成的结局，仅靠台词与镜头交代线索，自行推理。通过情感描述，引领观者更好的深入角色，了解其中更深层次的关系，同时导演在处置细微线索时可以说是相当巧妙，全神贯注时，突然出现的死者几乎令人防不胜防。看似简洁，却能通过种种小细节营造出一种毛骨悚然的感觉。
像是小男孩的成人礼，游戏里的😈，最后call me finn变自信
蛮有趣的。但是里面的一些点没有讲的很明白。
如果能把伊桑和他弟弟两个角色给做丰满了，那就很好看了。导演之前的《险恶》也有类似毛病，但险恶里反派毕竟就是邪神啊，这里面是人的角色撒….
观感不错，本质上还是偏儿童电影。小男孩成长的过程很有阶段性，可以清晰感受到他在“朋友的帮助”（其实就是自己）下对抗父权，并逐步完成自我纵向的发展。
第一次在電影院看恐怖片。字幕升起，想著打開手機緩一緩，卻看到了更讓人驚詫不安的現實新聞。現在一個小時過去了，還處於完全appalled的狀態。
最后的绝杀每一个小伙伴都没有白死，坑，铁栅栏，电话，冰箱肉，密码锁。居然是可以看下来纯英文字幕的哎……
但就那一段霸凌的情节，我能给五星，多希望小时候也能有这样的朋友。
前面略显拖拉，后面还是蛮精彩的，但是无论如何小学生是不可能打败杀人狂魔的，除非在电影里。
这兄妹俩太可爱了，5保1雀氏妙，幸好结尾没搞花里胡哨
很有新意，通灵版密室逃脱，每个道具都有伏笔，这一点非常赞
8.9/10，觉得自己能行了挑战半夜看恐怖片，结果it really scared me，不按套路出牌的偷袭式恐怖，第一次恐怖场面直接给我一激灵吓清醒了(本来有点瞌睡），肾上腺素激增，紧急暂停想弃了明天看，鼓鼓劲撑下来了，后来渐摸清路子感觉没那么强了，打灯处还是被吓，结局处的半开门倒是意图太明显，但全片的氛围节奏真是好啊，精髓是开密码那段，从恶魔身边走过，悬念感拉满，直抵内心深处最原始的求生本能
7.5/10 感谢环球的免费试映。俨然是Anti- bully film
这片子意外的好。铺垫细节足够丰富，没有白交待的事儿，节奏紧凑，后面也越发有意思，结局也很有感觉。
披着恐怖外衣的少年成长记，但文本内容至少砍掉一半，比如前期50分钟的废话，才会足够精炼，惊悚片的通病它也比比皆是，比如凶手的动机成因，警察饭桶群像，以及脱逃试炼的失败告终，不过电影结合了贴近社会现实的儿童绑架案，但又搭配灵异元素的穿插，让这个自救的故事多了几分看点，小男主成了困顿地下室冤魂的一道曙光，每个被害的孩童把在这个牢笼里尝试逃脱的经验通过“黑色电话”分享与他，以他获得的自由来得到救赎，借他反杀的手得以慰藉，充满悲情气息的血偿代价，成长的议题里多了一分勇气和一分灵动，但少了逻辑思维的把关，整体看下来就拧巴了，伊桑霍克的反派孱弱的像个纸老虎，估计也是从隔壁童话故事汇里借来的吧。★★☆
嗯啊，很金氏，让我觉得自己仿佛又看了一遍小丑回魂类型的片子。。
没想到还有青春成长的气息，特别是每次得到与死去孩子通话的帮助，以及最后各种情感上的段落和利落的反杀，都有些许感动，加入大量校园戏和亲情部分，也是在为这种情感元素作铺垫，可惜妹妹这条线确实太弱了点，故事设计和发展也略微简单，不过这种题材更应该是悬疑片，恐怖程度太低了，算是我喜欢的款式
