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!。漫画家梦洁因意外双眼失明，但又不想放弃自己的梦想，她来到漫画社寻求工作时不小心与漫画社另一位漫画家李天朗相撞后，巧遇一只黑猫，她竟然发现自己可以通过猫的眼睛重新看见光明。而李天朗是一名优秀的漫画家正在准备出版自己的漫画作品“天狼使者”，却因女友的失踪惶惶不可终日。梦洁在无意中看到天狼使者的漫画后也开始画出同样的漫画故事，令她没有想到的是自己的漫画竟与凶案现场惊人的相似，更可怕的是她发现自己竟也深陷其中，在调查中发现李天朗身上不为人知的秘密。。前保龄球手洛伊（Woody Harrelson伍迪•哈里森饰）早年风光无限，曾经在1979年拿过俄亥俄州保龄球比赛的冠军。但是他的荣耀急转直下，在一次重要比赛中，他被对手厄尼（Bill Murray 比尔•默瑞饰）陷害，失去了宝贵的右手。在此后的十七年里，他只能戴着假手，做保龄球器材生意糊口。 偶然的机会洛伊认识了阿米什人艾什米尔（兰迪•奎德 Randy Quaid 饰），这个羞涩的大男孩身上蕴藏的保龄球天赋令洛伊欣喜不已。他决定将艾什米尔训练成一流的保龄球手，参加一年一度的冠军赛，为自己报仇……。
