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!
无论发生什么 都不会忘记最初的信仰 无关金钱 无关政治 劳模姐演技绝了 最佳妆发也实至名归 最后 It's not over 'till it's over.
7分。看到了基督教是如何贯穿人的一生的。劳模姐演得不错。
感觉他们两个能成功募集到那么多钱就是一个巨大的骗局....
女主植根于信仰，受困于信仰。她一直渴望被别人看见被别人喜爱，当我重新复盘自己两个小时的观影时我发现认同感才是她心中“上帝声音”的来源，当她认为自己做了不值得被认同的事情之后，那个声音也就随之消失了，剩下的就只有苟延残喘。
劳模姐演技特供片（是的，除了看表演），开场惊喜后段用力疲惫，连带人物被裹挟到混乱的节奏中，Andrew Garfield怎么越来越油腻了，他适合去演变态杀手。
设置是女主角被扔在了一个文化不通语言不通的境地，受限，太受限啦，所以凡是困难都需要别人帮着“做主”，最基本的交流也需要个翻译，每次出现个新人，观众会想“他会是那个‘救世主’吗”最后都以失望告终，就连结尾也是；别人不愿意浪费精力帮她“做主”时，就随便找个合理的理由粉饰一下：他只是有点喜欢你；你想多了，是你太紧张了。像是一个寓言和现实的微缩
为什么男人总是不相信他机智又警觉的女朋友 悬疑片通病
4.5星。女主演技真的很厉害，完全看不出演员自己了，演了30年各个阶段都逼真还是五味杂陈大起大落型的故事，真影后。看来全世界都一样，自由恋爱共同信仰事业捆绑包容隐忍还是基督徒最后男的还是出轨，婚姻真的违反人性。
还原度应该还行，劳模姐很卖力了，但对主题确实就一般，touch的点没有
耐思，昨晚看完，今早封后！劳模终于圆梦了！！！
影片复古惊悚气质营造出色，尤其地铁遭遇一段，高光就在那个本不起眼的塑料袋上：即使暂停使劲儿看，也看不出有何端倪。但是逐渐放大的画幅却把压迫感推向崩溃的边缘。以镜头语言的角度，袋子里盛放的不是一颗人头，而是女主角心里无法抑制的恐惧。
secret cinema blablabla 3.5每個人物都unlikable ，服化道佳
影片本身的质量挺糟糕的，剧本很差，导演技法基本为0，基本都是靠劳模姐的表演在硬撑，但这也不是劳模姐最好的表演
看完居然有点喜欢Tammy Faye了 虽然就是个电视电影 但劳模姐的表演没得说 冲奥电影元素也全部齐了
为什么男人总是不相信他机智又警觉的女朋友 悬疑片通病
对背景不是很了解 但劳模姐对时间的跨度是演出来了
三星半。影片的看点来自传记片人物自身的传奇性，但具体想表达什么又很模糊，宗教的伪善？人性的贪婪？拥抱少数群体？什么都点到了又一概而过。不过塔米菲这个人物基本上立住了（相比斯宾塞）
你太明显能感觉到对于其他国家和不是那个年代或具备宗教信仰的观众来讲影片多么害怕自己会显得沉闷来不断加快节奏，更凸显了层次感缺失和文意的浅层。对塔米菲人人物立意一直都是模糊断层的，完全没有找好切合时间点或是重要事件点去构筑游离于天真、盲目和善良之间的过渡，更不会使最后经历磨难后的蜕变显得有任何意义。劳模姐封后完全值得加菲明显就很逊色了
Jessica是个很好的演员，她可以为了一个角色改变说话的方式、节奏、音高，完全create出一个和以往角色不同的人物，这一点在Tammy Faye里再次得到印证。她值得拿奖，虽然完全可以因为一部更好的电影..而这部电影除了她的表演，一无所有...
和绝大多数颁奖季传记片一样工整平庸且无趣。片中原型人物本就算不上家喻户晓的世界级名人，因此对于不了解上世纪70年代美国流行文化史的观众来说有种天然的陌生感。电视布道者夫妇抓住机遇攀上事业高峰，又陷丑闻瞬间跌落谷底，或许是类似平常的起伏人生见得太多，电影所呈现的事迹经历显然也并没有多少必要拉出来大书特书。导演的关注点过多过杂，没有很好地抓住某个叙述重点，以至于角色塑造得始终很干瘪。整部电影有且只有劳模姐不同年龄段层次分明的表演还可圈可点，得益于妆容加持，这种自毁形象扮丑等同于掌握了冲奥密码，捞个提名铁定不成问题，陪跑多年的她也将再一次向那座期盼已久的小金人发起冲击，祝好运。
