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!
最后的烂片揉碎了对爱情神话美好的幻想。究其真假毫无意义。就像多数谜底揭开的失望。人还是活于现实，明天太阳照常升起了。
灵额灵额老灵额！倪虹洁杀我！特别要讲的是，在过度媚青的国产电影里，能看到一群中年人坦然的情情爱爱，又跳探戈般你进我退，何其可贵。我反正是第一次看到中年人的故事和情爱渴求被看见了，艺辉了不起！前途无量！（ps:看到她在电影里夹带的红拂杂货铺和夜奔咖啡馆种种，都会忍不住笑起来……

本来就是个看起来很舒服的中老年爱情轻喜剧，非要学别人上什么女性意识觉醒的价值。所谓的女性意识就是两句对话剧的表面批判，就是雌竟的女人们最终成为了朋友，就是独立帅气的女孩子喜欢上阴柔气息的男孩子，对不起，我们看不上那种妈宝幼稚男。
好看啊，文青最喜欢的那一卦，灵，有腔调。几个细节：
没想到这个“神话”背后还蛮“真实”的，很有生活质感，私房菜变成大锅饭那段非常精彩
其实还好，可能期望值过高，本来想给三星，四星鼓励吧，毕竟国内这种电影少
影片全程飙上海话，徐峥说「你就把它当成伍迪艾伦的电影来看就行了」……表面是说看配音不误，也透露了风格参照系：城市、爱情、话痨、俏皮、知识分子气……确实有点伍迪艾伦电影的意思，还是导演处女作，挺难的。
又现实，又浪漫，又幽默，又感动。
不能欺负woody allen不能发话随便一部叨逼叨逼都说像woody allen吧，女性发声的编导片为什么找个男主演非常奇怪
超出期待！灵的灵的！非上海人都觉得上海话变可爱了！笑点泪点都有！拍出了中年人的现实爱情，希望国内爱情电影都按这个标准来！别给我们看一些白痴爱情电影！
生硬直白的不像pixar，转折来的尴尬且突如其来，所有的角色都是围绕主角成长的工具人，把《包宝宝》的故事无意义延长，就挺没劲的
并不是宣传话语中的女性视角，而是有意无意地对标了《老炮儿》。当然上海没有北京老炮儿，上海有的是上海爷叔。该片面子是上海闲话的讥诮凉薄和市井人情，里子是两个老男人的春梦。比较难得的是并没有对所谓上海腔调真的沾沾自喜，而是用一种善意的调侃演绎了人到中年的苍凉，在嬉戏自嘲中流露了一抹深情，上一次有类似观感的影片还是伍仕贤的《独自等待》。
不一样的地方是两性关系的设定不再刻板狗血，反而都是活生生有自己想法的独立人格人，每个年龄段都是。
往往能更加客观的看待如今的上海
#2022.16#星光#没那么好看，但也值得一看，可能只值三星，但私以为国产出一部好电影着实不易，自动升一星。影片很戏剧但又很生活化，很真实又带着些神话，很喜欢老乌这个乌托邦式的幻想角色。邋遢的中年人和三个美女，到底是徐峥配不上三位美女，还是我们这个社会对女性态度只接受美？因为女性不论是什么年龄，那只有一个要求，美。几段对话很有意思，群像描写也不错，众人第一次相遇以及美术馆三人行，还是最后众人看费里尼的状态以及结尾朋友圈的虚假自淫，处处充满讽刺。
外地人在上海生活
很适合找个假期约三五好友窝在家里一起看 最大的败笔大概就是小爱豆吧
后半段垮得很！前半段建立起来的现实感，后半段完全抽离了，变成了俗烂的小品。整个故事高开低走…
「和索菲亚罗兰的故事，感人吧？我编的。」一开始觉得文艺报菜名有点硬，到最后渐入佳境，沪味正浓。剧情离散，爱却真实。
