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!
只有女人才能写出女性之间互相理解互相帮助，以温柔和坚强对抗世界的压迫和不公。电影没有答案，也无需给完美的结局，只要她让我们看见，引发思考，这就够了。改变不是一个人的事，是每个人的事
与《寻梦环游记》异曲同工的出发，试着在冬日用更明亮的色彩与热情洋溢的文化注入一抹暖色；Stephanie Beatriz真的好适合做各种配音，能被委以重任太幸福。只可惜流于表面的文化符号使用以及平淡无奇的叙事进程可惜了这个尚佳的主西语裔阵容以及足够有趣的歌曲，这么看《寻龙传说》还做得更好些。
这个动画就像现在的迪士尼，明明魔法快不行了，还要告诉全世界我还强着呢。
梅拉尼罗兰的自导自演令人刮目相看，完整地营造了一个色调暗淡、配乐阴沉的精神病院，清晰明了的传递女人的不同情绪，从而塑造“疯”这一印象。
就算知道能看到别人看不见的东西，长这么大了也应该清楚学会隐藏自己吧，在那个年代没被烧死而是送去治疗已经很不错了……
“今晚很难分得清谁才是疯子”究竟是那些道貌岸然的男性还是被压迫驯服逼疯的女性 全程观影体验都很压抑 因为折射到现代社会距离这些也才过了几百年不到而已 而苦难却从未停止过 全靠这些女性之间的守望温暖支撑着 梅兰妮的节奏把控得特别好就是结局急转直下依然是法式be美学 虽然我也不懂这种操作是什么意思 咱就是说您双女主都拍了就不能一起策马私奔嘛 虽然你的肉体在疯人院但我们的灵魂在海上起舞 灵魂和肉体总有一个在路上呗
这片名起的，我还以为跟魔发精灵、魔发奇缘是一个系列的……迪士尼真的脑浆凝固了吧，或者就是干脆摆烂不思进取了，反正总有新的小女孩韭菜，可以一茬一茬割。无比套路的故事（一个异域风情的家族，小女孩拒绝按家长规训的方式长大，家族受难之时，独自冒险找到破解方法，最后再来个大团圆结局），本阿姨要看吐了。就算是套路，这部也是真难看，连冒险都懒得走出家门了，就讲她家房子要塌了（真·塌房）……太无聊了吧！还是个歌舞片，但也就那样吧。当然好莱坞动画的技术还是顶格的，衣物毛发质感太真实了，好像触手可及。
（结尾确实和好的有点点突然 但是不影响整体的绝）
影评里这句说得很好
无法言喻，两位女主角演的特别好。虽然没有什么恐怖的画面，但是真的极其恐怖(๑ó﹏ò๑
谁又能说谁是疯了呢，医生为了所谓研究，残害多少女子。
只有歌舞和色彩还算是稳的，我在迪士尼第60部看到了魔法城堡裂痕加剧。
比疯子更疯的是专制下父权社会里的“正常人”。
惊悚还好看得我很震惊，通灵只是为了引出那句相信神的存在可以，看到鬼神就是错的。后期就没作用了，就一个异类标签。整个片子拍得很克制看的很压抑，尤其发现哪里不全是病人但是绝对是被丢弃的人，彼此救赎相互鼓励的朋友都是希望，都是火种，最后干嘛不一起走，哎，女主出去了以后也没看到她去努力改变什么
印象比较深的一段是尤金妮和珍妮薇芙脱束腰的闪回镜头
非常推薦。題材和電影主題都決定了這電影不可能難看。唯一的遺憾是，如果換一個成熟導演，可以讓電影的很多細節更自然，更有感染力。
女性题材的电影，对精神病人的压迫让我想到了《黄色墙纸》，很压抑
这部影片的主题先行很明确，社会、制度、男性的压迫下，智慧的“疯”女人如何通过自己的能力脱离苦海。值得夸奖的是，片子的女性实现解脱的方式不是传统的依附男性权威或是简单性别置换，而是利用了“幽灵”这一具有神性的元素。给这个压抑的故事增添了神的意味和色彩。
第一次看女神自导自编自演的电影，很喜欢这个质感。尽管一个是护士，一个是病人，但都在那个压抑的父权体制之下苟延残喘，她们的相遇也萌发了意识的觉醒，中间两人互文的画面很棒。Geneviève锁上大门，让Eugénie快走时说的那句“Je sui livre”，之后坦然成为一个病人让我很受触动。就是感觉Eugénie通灵的技能有点过于玄乎，也让影片偏离了理性而更显感性。
配乐、画面唯美质感高级，女性今天的自由从何而来，今时今日又有多少被“疯”的悲惨女人。
