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!
太拖沓了，完全没必要拍成两个半小时，看完只让人想看原版
有点好猜，逊于期待，后面我都开始两倍速了。另建议改成三集迷你电视剧。
真的拿捏住黑色电影的范了，从故事的编排到人物布景，都向450年代的电影致敬，换句话说，会有人觉得很老气没新意。
尽搞些花哨东西，故事都没讲清，比老版逊色太多了
你终究还是成为了你最憎恶的人，这是个nature vs nurture，最后nature大获全胜的故事？果然看这个的都看soho惊魂，果然大家一看就知道toro喜欢马戏团戏，毕竟谁又不喜欢呢，我本来还很期待马戏团戏继续下去呢…可惜，不过故事核心确实是不错的，实在是暗黑。
我觉得陀螺的片子只有一种打开方式，就是看之前拼命降低预期，于是看完会觉得咦还可以嘛。
讨厌的点可太多了，剧作本末倒置，Bradly Cooper也垃圾，陀螺回家继续养小怪物吧。
置景看上去真有钱啊，女演员们都还可以，单Cooper不太行。陀螺确实有为怀旧而怀旧的嫌疑，还是搞点原创剧本吧。
6.5/10，不理解但也有点儿喜欢，理解了但也没那么喜欢，水形物语也没那么喜欢，但视听确实很好，我可能不太适合陀螺，不是，反过来，
最大的惊喜大概是cooper裸了，魔兔重聚其实也只是卡司相逢的幌子。大魔王的设定很好，最后的反转不过憋了口气要报复，很孩子气，但也合情合理。cooper最后一场戏的演技很绝，可也是仅限于此了。
真的像是一个豆友说的那样，“既好看又难看”。典型的故事为导演风格服务。俗套的故事，乏味的台词，就连各个大咖的表演也都那么用力又空洞（凯特的唯一高光就是“I’ll live”，麻辣literally又演了一次小白兔，托尼科莱特是比较喜欢的）。小镇的塔罗牌、野人尚且吸睛，后面变成福尔摩斯式的读心术真的就没啥意思，但凡有个心理师或者富豪一样off the book的客户，立马露馅。还有就是电影太长太长了，150分钟太难熬。
三星半吧，实在是太长了，一个半小时应该差不多，前半部分铺垫太多，最出彩的竟然是开头烧房子和致敬《克里斯蒂娜的世界》这一名画的镜头，结尾也算是粗糙的恶人有恶报的诠释？
节奏不当，故事乏味，立意无趣。陀螺痴迷于一些个人钟爱的元素无法自拔，对影片的深入挖掘倒是晾在一边。冗长的两个半小时，票房口碑双扑街简直理所当然。春节双片都如此乏味无聊我是没想到，之前很多博主扬言在家看古驰+玉面过年，吊打看院线片。现在看来倒是未必了。
3.5。toro對嘉年華內志怪美學的狂熱明顯壓過了他對黑色電影的迷影情節，這也導致影片在主角走出嘉年華後立刻變得冗長無聊。
陀螺讲故事太没说服力了，美术也就勉勉强强。人物跑来跑去跑不出片场，肉眼可见的省钱，卡司阵容浪费观众一片赤诚。陀螺别谋害剧本了你还是专心去画画吧～
黑到底，嘲笑到底，虚伪到底，把伪善的人和纯良的人全部讽刺了一遍。表面清清白白良好模范企业家，高贵邀请函随手送人。你把我当兄弟，我当成你女婿。《同学麦娜丝》丧礼变选举会，后有丧礼变员工鼓励大会。纯良的混混无辜惨死，产品的检验红毯走秀。博弈的资本是我有钱的爹，有钱能双手遮天，没钱就只能充当儿子认人做爹啦。JB演活了这个虚伪，油腻的形象，赋予了他一丝无奈幽默，明明很讨厌这个角色，但就是恨不起来。一直在想中国翻拍会不会很适合，不会的，压根不存在的～
我以为我是来代餐的，哪知道这150分钟我是来看中年白男的人生起伏的。除了大魔王的一些高光瞬间之外这片没有什么拿得出手的。有这个时间我就应该重温《卡罗尔》而不是在电影院憋尿。
没看过原作和老版本单纯是被海报欺诈来的无辜路人说实话这卡司感觉不用演往那一戳就可以打五星结果不知道导演脑子被感染了硬生生用150分钟让人给他只能打两星还是友情价看在魔兔有那么一秒钟是同框的面子上就不考究剧情有多老套凯特的演技可真是没话说她不管自信脆弱咄咄逼人诱惑感性都能拿捏那么到位这就是天生演技刻在DNA里的女人从她的伤疤和负罪老头的独白来看她也不是单纯要坑男主应该属于一箭双雕预谋已久让你说我不够强大现在曾经害我与看不起我的两个恶魔骗子都遭到了应有的报应回归了他们本该呆着的位置真是可喜可贺导演稍微改编下原著让大魔王和小白兔重遇然后过上幸福快乐的人生活那这票房也好评分也罢不就都有了吗前期铺垫那么长只为对应最后我生来就是干这个的料有点太过牵强塔罗姐其实警告过他是他自己丢失了放弃的机会做了错误决定
Guillermo del Toro的风格我不太能接受，《水形物语》就让我不叫拒绝，这部片我觉得倒是引人入胜，只不过就是不咋地的观感充满所有桥段。Bradley Cooper真是有魅力，希望他能再遇到几部好作品拿一次影帝。Cate Blanchett越长越有一种喜感这是为啥……
绝好的复古风格，摄影、服装俱佳。凯特布兰切特油美出了新高度。男主在追名逐利之中迷失自我，金钱、美色、贪欲，到头来都是一场空，黄粱梦后，最终只能认清自己，只是归属于那个破败的马戏团，不过到这里都能猜到结尾了，可是他为啥非得明知陷进的情况下再去做“怪人”呢？
