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!。得知母亲急性尿毒症病发的郑德帅，与同母异父的弟弟魏小建正在为医药费发愁之际，意外看到“我是大明星”直播大赛的消息，参加即有机会获得500万奖金，兄弟俩蠢蠢欲动。幕后老板梅方正，私下与哥俩达成秘密协议，只要他们能把患有神经病的侄女送到海南，就能直接进入复赛。郑德帅突然脑洞大开，欲展开一场“绑架直播”。雾霾严重的夜晚，城市笼罩在一片雾茫茫的世界里，一辆破旧的二手房车在霓虹灯闪烁的街道上行驶......。商人钱大海（郑则仕饰）在公司与家里，都是一言堂！大海认定儿子钱继来（曹永廉饰）能力不足，一直用高压手段逼他进步。情人洪玫瑰（樊亦敏饰）多年来明示暗示，大海亦未答允给她名份。女儿钱有方（傅嘉莉饰）背着父亲创业，大海觉得有方叛逆，使计侵吞其心血。大海遭绑架，获公司职员赵一鸣（冼靖峰饰）相助脱困。大海有感身边人都有嫌疑，遂住进一鸣家，要他暗中调查；怎料一鸣之父赵子勇（萧正楠饰）竟是有方前男友，当年被大海棒打鸳鸯。大海向来视金钱比亲情重要，想法却随着与一鸣的相处，有所改变……。
